I doodled with my old Wacom but produced nothing I’d be proud to post. It’s going to be a while before I feel comfortable enough to create finished pieces with this tablet, but so far it’s been pretty great and I’m getting the hang of it. I’ll never stop drawing on paper, of course - it’s where I’m most at home.</p> <p>I would say that for this price it is definitely worth a shot to start drawing digitally, because you never know when that skill might come in handy. I’ve had jobs come up where it would be a major asset to use a tablet.</p>http://www.mikeholmesdraws.com/post/22767070648http://www.mikeholmesdraws.com/post/22767070648Thu, 10 May 2012 01:31:21 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3s26rMCC91qbg1pho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Monoprice tablet just arrived.
