Tried a drawing tablet after years of mouse-only art, surprised myself
I mean, I've been doing digital art with a mouse for like 6 years because I thought tablets were overpriced and gimmicky. Last month my buddy in Austin let me borrow his old Wacom Intuos for a week, and honestly it felt wrong at first, like my hand and eyes were fighting. But by day 3 I was shading a portrait in half the time it usually takes me with a mouse, and the line work actually looked smooth instead of jagged. The pressure sensitivity thing is real, I finally get why everyone keeps posting those speed paints. I still think $300 for a new one is steep, but now I'm eyeing a used model on eBay for around $80. Has anyone else switched from mouse to tablet late and felt dumb for waiting so long? Or do some of you still swear by mouse only for certain styles?

Picture me drawing stick figures while my hand screams betrayal.
