Hey /ic/
I wanted a nice screen tablet and my stupid fucking mom got me a waicom bamboo tablet.
Is there a good use for it, I'm having problems drawing on it because I can't see what I'm drawing.
There's not a single piece of art produced by a Cintiq that couldn't have been produced on a Bamboo in a comparable time frame.
Use it every day for almost every task until you get used to it--old clicky games work well for hand-eye training. Set it to tablet mode from the properties panel if it's in mouse mode. Keep your eyes on your screen, not your tablet. Draw a lot.
Remember, the artist makes the tools work for him, not the other way around. If you're a shitty artist, a $3000 Cintiq won't fix that. Likewise, if you're a great artist, you'll create great art with a Bamboo.
Also, don't shit-talk someone who just bought you a nice gift, you asshole. The cheapest decent screen tablet is ~$1000, and odds are that your mom's not as loaded as you think she is. If you want one, start drawing commissions with that perfectly functional Bamboo, save up, and buy one yourself.

Brain dead artist needs a screen tablet.
Just practice on a tablet and you will get used to it. Screen tablet is worse because your hand is in the way.

As someone who used an Intuos 4 Medium since 2009, and just got a 22HD Cintiq Touch, I promise you the Cintiq is a million times better.
Your hand "getting in the way" is not even remotely an issue.

I'm not that anon, but it was an issue for me with cintiq. Another annoyng thing was that your hand's movements are 1:1 to how the cursor is moving, so your hand moving much more so it gets a bit tiring and it slows me down comparing to a regular tablet. And paralax is still there which is a bit annoyng. Of course you will get used to it overall, but to be honest for it's price you can buy yourself a nice pc, great monitor and a new Intous. So, it's not worth the money for sure.

How is this different from a decent tablet like Intuos?
You just look at the cursor and imagine it's your hand. Done

You're supposed to look at your subject when you draw anyway, so how is this an issue?
if you practice with it for a few weeks it'll start to feel natural.
oh you guys
mom makes effort of buying you something and you insult her?
murder yourself you piece of shit
