My drawing skills in flash are quite abysmal…I’ve just never been able to do much with the mouse in terms of graphics. So basically my question is are Graphix Tablet’s a good investment for someone like me and will it help me improve my drawing skills in any way? Also how exactly do they work? Does it work directly into flash, in vector format, meaning line’s and fill’s? Also if anyone could recommend what kind of graphix tablet is best, especially for working with flash, it would be a big help. Thanks for any information.
I have a Wacom Intuos2 9x12", and I freakin’ love it. A lot of people seem to have trouble using them, but I don’t find it unnatural at all. I constantly use it in Flash, Painter, Photoshop, etc., and I’d be screwed both at work and at home if I didn’t have it, considering what it is I do.
After I got a handle on the feel of it, I wanted to see if I could draw something from scratch, so I remembered I had this picture of a singer from a band that I thought was really cool. Figured I’d see if I could start with nothing and draw it with the tablet, to see if I could replicate depth, shadow, etc. Here’s how it came out:
