Tablet issues, tips needed please!

Fri Jul 3, 2009, 6:01 PM
  • Mood: Tired
  • Listening to: The fan
  • Eating: Brioche de Vendrennes
  • Drinking: Coke
Ok, so I know I haven't uploaded anything for quite a whole year, and here's the reason:
My tablet is an old Genius G-Pen 450 model and I'm having trouble using it. I need to squeeze very hard because the level pressure sensitivity doesn't seem to work correctly. Result: my wrist aches after 5 minutes using the tablet :x

Moreover, I have a recurrent problem with tablets: I have a very poor eyes/hand coordination. It's extremely difficult for me to look at the screen if my drawing hand is elsewhere.

So I'm looking for tips and advice about good reliable and affordable tablets. A screen tablet would be ideal for my problem, but considering the price, I'll never be rich enough to afford one, lol.

I'm so impatient to be able to draw again on my computer, PS misses me :p

I've got a lot of work recently with the scanlation team, and trying to get a good job, so I don't have much time to spend painting on my computer u_u

[BUT!] My techniques are getting better these times and I'm trying to find interesting ideas, and also trying to make my linearts as clean as possible so as to try :iconyuni: 's wonderful colouring technique here:
[link]

So I'll be back as soon as I can with brand-new paintings!

Luv ya all! :blowkiss:

PS: I'm currently repainting the characters' hair in Le Baiser, it looked crappy ¤_________¤

PPS: Anybody going to Japan Expo in Paris on the 5th of July? I'll be there, so if some want to meet me there...

Ça faisait longtemps que je voulais m'acheter une souscription, et bien ça y'est! (soyez heureux pour moi! :XD: )

J'ai beaucoup de taf récemment avec la team de scantrad alors j'ai peu de temps pour bosser sur les dessins, je cherche de bonnes idées et SURTOUT j'essaie de réussir à nettoyer mes linearts correctement >__<

Prochaine étape après ma réussite de nettoyage de lineart: essayer la splendide technique de coloration de :iconyuni: qui est dispo ici: [link]

Donc à la prochaine avec des yolis dessins huhu

J'vous bisouche! :blowkiss:

PS: je suis en train de refaire les cheveux des persos de Le Baiser, ils sont craignos et j'me suis améliorée ^^

PPS: Je serai à la Japan Expo à Paris le samedi 5 Juillet (avec les membres de Chou No Tsuki, qui seront d'ailleurs là plus longtemps pour certains [pas facile la vie de provinciale fauchée :XD:]) donc si certains veulent me faire un coucou... Je précise qu'on a pas de stand cette année, on va certainement squatter pas loin de celui de NV:

Alter Ego project ^^

Hi!

So, even though nobody reads my journal, I wanna warn you all that within the next weeks (and maybe months), my deviations will quite always be about the Alter Ego project.

Some of you have already met my character Nikita, and you'll soon meet Lou, Soraya, Soizic and Noé, and maybe others that we haven't invented yet. I say 'WE' because it's a original yaoi fiction my friend Natsuko embarked me on.

The whole project (if possible) will be on my y!Gallery [link] because I think I'll draw some hot scenes, but what's not pornographic will be here too, so don't worry if you're not especially fond of yaoi and all that stuff, you won't be put apart ^^

ENFIN!

RIP, Utopia... :deviation: :jackdirt:
