Fun and joy! Just got me one of these
http://www.wacom.com/bamboo/bamboo_fun.php
this last sunday. Truly worth it! Mouse no more!
It's like drawing with the real thing, be it chalk, guache, pencil or ink...
some sketches of mine:

I'm yet to learn more painting technique to truly put the Gimp to fire... but oh
man, love it! Was it Stephen who was advocating for tablets? You nailed it,
man!

There's a program on Microsoft tablets called ArtRage that simulates paint
brushes and crayons and all kinds of good stuff like that, even to the point
of making brush strokes and smearing the paint colors together when you
cross lines with different colors and such. Much fun.

That's great! With Gimp the best I can do is manual smear (with jitter) and
play with multiply or opacity settings.
I've also been playing with a layer in dissolve mode. Pressure sensitivity is
amazing with it... pure chalk drawing... so beautiful, I'm almost tearful... :D
I'm never going back to mouse. well, except at work...

Some of us can't draw that well with a *real* pen. :-/

Nice sketches - I wish I had that kind of talent. Still, I'm finding
that my wrist hurts a *lot* less (I hardly notice it any more, in fact)
since I started using my Intuos4.

Gimp will do that; I was playing around with mixing colours using the
smudge tool, and that was pretty interesting.

Try it out. It's really cool. artrage.com. It has a free download version,
with the limitation being things like no layers and no way to save it as a
standard image.
As you can imagine, it's lots more fun when you're actually painting right
on the screen, rather than a tablet.

Oh, I see what you mean - yeah, it won't do it if you don't smudge,
though it kinda looks like it does if you don't use full pressure with
the pen.
But if you use full-ish pressure with the pen, no, it doesn't blend the
colours, it replaces them.

I don't have Windows except at work, where I can't download executables.
Perhaps I'll download at home and bring it on tomorrow...

I don't see the difference, except perhaps a more tiresome experience
thanks no rest to the arm. I mean, at first I thought drawing in a
surface and seeing the result in another would be disorientating, but
the hand-eye coordination goes just smooth and natural, like as if
directly drawing on paper...

It comes with a mouse too, but I'm loving the stylus alone! XD
