I know it isn't much, but I wanted to share it anyways (it's my left hand).

Tablets have come a long way since I last used one and dismissed it as cumbersome and useless.

Huh...well will you look at that, they are the same length.

I suppose I'll have to break the news to my fiance.

Sigh.... such BS. and if you look at the drawing the ring finger is slightly taller than the first finger.

I had the knack of it within an hour or two, but only in a gestural sort of way.

Getting used to controlling the quality of your line is much harder to do (and I'm still having trouble with that).

What hinders me the most is the inability to manipulate the 'paper' physicaly, turning it sideways and whatnot to tackle lines from other angles.

Also, it's a little disorientating to draw and look at the screen from any direction from straight on, and I'm used to being able to swivel about or pace as I draw.

I was using a Wacom, roughly the size of a mousepad (it's not mine however, so I'm not sure of the specifics) in Flash 6.

I've tried it in Photoshop as well, but I'm unhappy with the choppy line there.

I still haven't had a chance to try out Painter 7.

The choppy line in PS may be that line smoothing isnt enabled..that threw me off for awhiel when i upgraded to 7. :D
