Hey everyone. I just got the thing I was saving months for. A tablet. I am the luckiest person alive right now. I will never treat this like a toy. I will cherish it. I just can't understand how I got so lucky. Wow, i am in total shock right now. Any tips, advice, anythin' ? I have a Bamboo touch.


My first pic will be drawn in a short while. Thank you for reading.

My advice- be patient. It

My advice- be patient. It takes a while to get used to drawing in one place and looking another. So don't be frustrated if it isn't as magical as you want it to be. You'll get familiar with the good and bad points of it with time. And ... don't be afraid to play. It's okay to think of it as your toy Smiling

Thank you both. I don't want

Thank you both. I don't want to use it as a breakable toy, but I will play with it. Thank you. If my work is crap, it's only because I am excited, and have no idea what I am doing. ^^

Wacom makes quality, sturdy products. My old intuos lasted 6 years of being dropped and loved. |D Can't wait to see what you make with your Bamboo.

Mmm, Bamboo's are good

Mmm, Bamboo's are good starter tablets, and I love mine. C:
I recently transitioned from a Bamboo Fun to a Bamboo Pen, and I love it. <:

Like 3 said, Wacom's products are incredibly sturdy, and that works out well for a clumsy person like me. xD

Just be sure to keep them away liquids though, that's how I lost my Fun. xD

I am amazed everyone Luffs me

I am amazed everyone Luffs me and my new tablet. But it's as horrible as writing with a Laptop. >> I feel teh Luffs, but don't expect anything brilliant. I can make awesome shapes and colors though. I won't save up again, cuz that took moths. o.e

Okay, can anyone do the math? 5 dollars a month, and it was 49$, sooo... -Is too lazy to work it out-
