> \*Originally posted by xxviii \* > \*\*…but thanks a lot everyone for the nice comments… not what i expected at all i thought u were all gonna hate it \*\* 28, let me boost your confidence a lil bit, and after that try to keep it up on your own 😉 even tho this drawing is simple and not finished(YET) you made an excellent color pick, your trace is clean, the overall composition is consitent and well balanced, you have a good sense of 3d and shadow angle/position, what tells me that you have good skills for this job. your work has a lot of room for improvements, but you made a nice start. and i´m not really concearned about this work, what i really want to see fully developed is your style. have faith in yourself, confidence is the greatest tool you´ll ever use. ---

for starting with a Wacom, the 99USD Graphire 2. thats what edwin uses thats what i use. the higher you go just gives for sensitivity and pressure points, but you should get used to wacom before you go to an Itous, i think. Ren Gril knows a lot about it…but [www.pricewatch.com](http://www.pricewatch.com) as low as 69.99USD i have seen them for! ---

Personally, when doing vector art, a mouse is actually easier to control (especially when using the pen tool). The mouse produces more precise paths. But when sketching or photo doctoring in Photoshop or Painter, a Wacom is heaven! I agree with everyone here - go with a Graphire 2. You’ll get a lot of bang for your buck. It is especially handier if you have a laptop or you travel a lot (like me). In many cases, you won’t be needing an Intuos. Check eBay for good deals.
