Any experienced mousefaggots in the board? One-year mousefag speaking.
I use the mouse for pixel art but for drawing? Seems like a waste of your time investment to me.

Are you enjoying your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome yet?
>>2421152
why?
Just draw in hand and at least get some useful skills until you can afford proper gear.

I've used the same wacom tablet for 15 years. They only break if you buy no brand shit tablets and hold the pen like a horny bull wrestling a young cow

>tablets break frequently
>>2421218
tablets don't break
And if you're doing art mainly for bragging rights then you don't have to worry about carpal tunnel
You'll quit before you hurt yourself anyways

I mean, unless you drop them a lot or bend the wires a lot.

really? Each to their own I guess
>tablets break frequently
Not in my experience. Have never still using my first from many years back, an Intuos 4
>too late to stop
Really?
>and the best reason of all
>bragging rights
It's like bragging about writing code in a normal notepad or that you have not stepped on any cracks on the sidewalk in 4 years where you walk daily. "Impressed" is not the likely reaction. People are just going to assume that there's something not quite right with you, unless of course you can succeed in convincing them that it is fun.

Like pencil and paper?
i find drawing with a mouse good as an exercise in that it forces you to to think more about each mark you make. it's a bit like drawing with your off hand. sometimes i like to warm up with some mouse drawings so when i remove the mouse handicap and switch to the pen it seems easier.
the first thing i started 'seriously' drawing things with was with a mouse, since it used up no paper and i could use any colors i want as opposed to pencil and paper. its nice since all your skills transfer from mouse to tablet/pencil pretty easily.
but i dont regret getting a tablet at all, after nearly 7 years of drawing with a mouse, a tablet feels so liberating and it opens up so many different parts of drawing that i just couldnt get with a mouse
i like to think that for a mouse user though i was pretty ok, nothing special when compared to other artists
pic related, the nicest thing (in my opinion) that ive drawn with a mouse
im trying to learn digital and like it a lot but I cant bring myself to send the money on a tablet. camel anus and testicles is about as good as I can do atm.

Time is money. The current best traditional tablet the Huion Giano is less than $200 ffs.

I'm gunna be honest with you;
you will develop more skill with a tablet/paper

>It's fun
If you're doing it for fun, then fair enough. I drew with a mouse for my first two years of design and it took a lot of getting used to and I enjoyed it. However the improvement when moving to a tablet is noticeable immediately. It'll take a day or two to get used to but there is no going back when you start using the tablet and you will not regret it.
>You improve faster
>You can apply far more advanced techniques
>Far more comfortable
Trust me, I was skeptical at first because it was quite a bit of money but now, I regret nothing
>Break easily
You get what you pay for.
I personally recommend a wacom intuos pro
they are reliable and I bought my first one second hand and have had it for a number of years now. No problems as of yet.
>Too late to stop
yeah....nah. I highly doubt that.
As I said, I started with a tablet for about 2 years and...I stopped
>Bragging rights
Ok, this one confused me.
>Hey, I can do something the most difficult way imaginable to create something that could look 10x better if I did it the standard method
Kudos to you...but I think you will get more bragging rights by improving and demonstrating skill in various ways in which you would usually be limited to.
I mean which sounds better:
>I basically handicapped myself with drawing as I am too stubborn to progress and get the appropriate equipment
or
>Look at this master piece
You're just limiting yourself in progression and style. You can't even practice techniques efficiently on paper.

The fuck are you talking about ..
And your suggestion isn't even the best option either.
You smell like a casual 30 km away.
