Glad to hear everything's still going well. Sorry, I'm no good with tablet stuff, you should ask Mahirates, he's phenominal with a tablet. [link]

im amazed you havent used your tablet. My tablet literally changed my life. I tell people it was the best investment I've ever made in my life. Because of the extra art I was able to do because of it, and how I fell in love with working on the computer for art, I left grad school at Northwestern and decided to start my career path over as a 3D animator (tablets are practically required for the field). When I hear people have tablets and never use them, it's like hearing someone say "oh, I have a car, but I've never used it. I prefer to wait for the bus". I don't ever use the mouse anymore. There was even a period when I hadn't touched a computer mouse in over a year. I bring my tablet with me everywhere, to school every day, because I always use it with computers, even if I'm not drawing. It's a more efficient way of using my laptop to its full extent (and prevents carpal tunnel).

The tablet will take you about a week for your brain to understand how to work it, about a month to really know what you're doing, and 6 - 7 months for you to become proficient enough to use it to its best extent. It's an investment of time switching to one, but as long as you can get by the first day or two getting used to it, your computer life will never be the same.

I don't really have much of an excuse for why I didn't use the tablet once I got it, but recently I really haven't had the time. I did however get the chance to try it out about a week back and I must say that it's a blast. I can imagine that it'll take some time getting used to, but I'm sure I'll cope. I've been telling myself that I should carry my sketchbook around with me wherever I go... maybe I should make the tablet a part of that future habit.

I think the first thing I need to do is organize my room so that I have space for a chair for my desk. I think a hard surface (like my unused desk) is better than just holding the tablet while my laptop sits on my lap. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear/read them! ^_^

oh, I lie down on my stomach on my bed whenever im on my laptop... so my bed acts as the desk for me, laptop, and tablet. I often draw while lying on the floor too. Tables are ok, sure, but I dunno, my drawing chi flows better when I'm on mah bellah.

It sounds like a good idea... though I don't think I could stay in that position for too long, the back starts acting up. (omg I sound like an old fart TT_TT) I should try that though, sometimes my better drawings come from when I'm on my tummy.
