So I was in London Drugs today looking for 360 racing wheel .. and I found the tablet I've been looking for, Wacom Intuos3 6x11..

I only had about an hour to play with it today but .. holy cow .. I love it

Please ignore the writing, I was just trying it it out :P

london drugs? drug stores sell computer stuff now?

i can tell dude has some skills, probably just playing around with the pen thickness or something..

I was just trying it out, I got home from Pirates of Carribean at like 12:30 am, and I had to get up at 6am to open the store for someone else so I was really out of time..

I haven't done any computer graphics in like 2 years .. I got myself book on Photoshop CS2 and I'll get into it tomorow

I think the most suprising thing I found is that in Photoshop, the pen is actually sensitive to how hard you push it down - the harder,the thicker the line is being drawn. It also does a fair job of replcing the mouse when doing graphics, though outside that it can get painful. The board also came with a special mouse that only works on it.
The whole thing is designed to work for either left or right handed people, and there are "mouse" buttons, as well as a scroll-strip on both sides of the board in the top corners. Over all, the board basically covers the entire screen, so you might have to move your arm, to reach things that are away from the centre, like buttons and menus.

I'll get to writing a review most likely tomorow

A tablet would almost totally lost on me. I have very little artistic ability.

I had an old serial-port wacom tablet that I bought used, sold it to a guy at work, then a couple of years later, he brought it back to work, gave it way to me, and then I turned around an sold it again to somebody else.

They're fun to play with, but I never had any practical use for it.

Hehhehe I do this for hobby, but Im amazed how easy it is to use it .. Im currently busy harrasing people on messenger by writing to them (literally). :P

Once you get used to a tablet you can never go back to drawing with a mouse. If you really want to see what that tablet can do go grab a copy of Zbrush 3.
