There's no contest between tablet vs mouse, silly person.

But looking at your work, the tablet is the least of your concerns, next time take 5 minutes to use the search function.

that hurt my feelings the small ones. And why i was asking an opinion question if someone did one i would never find it due to the search does every word and not just topics. Like if anyone said mouse i would get that and waste my time so why not go to the direct source

Tablets beat mouses and respect beats aggressiveness.

A tablet is FAR better than a mouse, it's no contest. Drawing on a tablet is almost like drawing on paper without the paper texture and it also has pressure sensitivity for digitally painting.

A mouse just can't do that, plus it uses a whole new kind of arm movement to move than a pen.

Also, the tablet let you use your arm muscles more efficiently.

I'd say there is contest here, tablets are way better. Just get a nice deal of a tablet on ebay or amazon :rocker: http://seoagora.com/img/589/d08l1104oulu/smiley2.gifhttp://seoagora.com/img/308/s08e1024rvou/champagne.gif

You got to be mind-opened to every tool. I love traditional brushes, for making watercolor or oil. I was doing digitals with the mouse for 4-5 months, then I bought a tablet. No doubt tablet is much better for digital work, but there are multiple types of work and multiple tools.

I paint with a thing called a brush.

Picking up a mouse and using it as a brush could get you into serious trouble!

May be a good idea for an abstract piece, or an ironic statement?

I remember someone here saying that doing digital work with a mouse was like painting with a brick. Sounds about right. It's possible, it just takes forever.

I wouldn't use a live mouse, but the dead ones are a bit small. Maybe a rat might be better.

Seriously, I was getting really bad cramps in my hand earlier this year using the mouse and forced myself to start using the tablet pen. Within a couple of weeks all the pain had gone. I still use the mouse occasionally for straight lines, more because old habits are hard to kill.

yeah!, mouse should only be an addition to the tablet…
It´s very hard to pick tools;brushes; etc. with the pen…
(I´m using a wacom bamboo one = cheapest tablet i found)

There is actually one thing that a mouse can do better then a tablet, and that is giving you complete control while playing FPS games.

Maybe its time to turn off the L4D and do that homework eh... :)
