@Valefor: yeah thats true, honestly it's sad cause they were so much fun to get to know people from all over the world, all different walks of life. I think the younger generations could use that these days lol

@MoodyB: I ended up winning on at the auction. It was a Wacom one digital drawing tablet with screen. I was hoping to win the other one but in all honesty I'm glad I didn't. I'd rather spend a little right now and see if it's something I actually like and want to use and then slurge more later. But I'm excited so I'll have to play around with it soon and see how it goes haha

@MoodyB: I'm lucky I have my laptop from school, it's only a year old and amazing so I just have to get the drawing tablet. I'm hoping it goes well honestly because if so I'll be more willing to spend a higher amount of money on an even better one lol but hey it's a start! Pick it up tomorrow and I'm so excited but also trying not to get out of hand cause I know iysgoing to be a curve ball figuring it out and adjusting lol I don't want to be disappointed haha

I wish I had the time to build a PC, I've seen some Stellar ones from friends of mine and I love how personalized they are.

@Mandy Amour: yeah it'll definitely take some time but will be fun too!

mine is like...7 years old. last summer spent money replacing a swollen battery which in turn fried everything bit the monitor. so it's just a monitor at this point. I use separate keyboard and mouse and it runs on just 4gb ram.

tho I'm debating if i should buy parts piece by piece to eventually build it or buy it in one go. lol

@Mandy Amour: did you download the drivers for the tablet? sometimes you need to restart your computer.

@MoodyB: yes, it wouldn't work without it. I was using my same program but honestly the lines are a little more rounded, less choppy. Although for my first one I should expect it looks similar as my hands aren't used to drawing on the tablet yet so I'm still a little shaky. Probably why it's so similar too. We will see. More time and practice will tell haha or maybe a new program 😅

@Mandy Amour: sometimes tablets don't support all programs. though sometimes you need to adjust how hard and soft of pen pressure to get for smooth lines.

@MoodyB: yeah that makes sense, we'll I'll keep playing with it and my brother in law was telling me about a few programs online I can use too as a trial and see how it goes lol. For now I will say that even though there isn't much difference it took me far less time than with the laptop and mouse option lol

@Mandy Amour: Krita is really good and free. I use krita from time to time.
though I normally use clip studio since I can add PS brushes into it.

@MoodyB: does clip studio cost money? If so do they ateast have a trial before buying so I can see if I like it enough to pay for it? Lol maybe it is the program I'm using. But like I said, at the very least it's faster lol for now

@Mandy Amour: clip studio does cost money. they often have sales where you can get it for $20.

I believe it's 30 day trial but it doesn't let you save the art you draw in it I don't think.

what program are you using?

@Mandy Amour: probably might not be supported by the tablet then as I've never heard of it. most tablets support PS, Medibang/fire alpaca, Sai etc

@MoodyB: I had this whole week off work, but I'm always so behind of everything cause I work so many long shifts that I still didn't have time to just relax and I go back to work next week xD I swear I need a two week vacation just to get some actual rest in haha

Oh, I hope you share here when you are done! 🥰

@MoodyB: that is beautiful! I love it! The highlights are perfect! I haven't been overly motivated either, I don't know why, I love to use the new tablet but I've just been mainly doodling trying to figure it out lol. Nothing spectacular from me. I did do this little pieces I can show you below, nothing fancy lol
