Yeah I would recommend if you want to get a clean line drawing you use pencil and scan it. Then color it in photoshop etc.

yeah.

yeah it takes mad skills to sketch cleanly with a wacom. I usually sketch with mech pencil, scan and then pen tool, then paint colour and tone with the wacom.

Well, I'll give it another try. I would like my work to be 100% wacom.

---

I would suggest painter then. It is much more natural when it comes to drawing and sketching. Corel Painter 11 has real brushes and pencils very cool stuff.

I are Ubuntu

well then you need to not be ubuntu because all of the good art tools are on windows...

I know, but I should spend most of my time doing homework anyway. Linux keeps me from wasting time since it's mostly about work. And I don't need a virus or spyware scanner
Oh and I can't use an OS that doesn't have Compiz desktop effects. I can't live with out it. I can't! I'd die first!

---

Just make a dual boot man and use windows for art.

Ha! But I specifically got the 14 gig HD so I COULDN'T do that. I'm almost at max capacity as it is.
I'm a hardcore time waster, so I took steps to keep myself distanced from my favorite apps and games.
Friends I visit with scold me regularly for my decision since I can't play games online anymore and play Starcraft 2 when it comes out.
I think it's for the best. What's better than being an artist and playing good quality games? Having lots of money! Here's a song I could have written: [Link to www.youtube.com] Another words, I'm going to be the master of tax sheltering.

Well then I guess it's the gimp for you.

hahah. When I graduate I'll get windows again... I want to get back into video editing stuff.

Oh good luck trying to use ubuntu cause I could for the life of me not get the pressure sensitivity working... it took me long enough screwing around to get it to work in "pen mode" not "mouse mode" >.<

was one of the main reasons I don't use the OS any more.

---

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

I got it working. 9.10 has the wacom drivers all built in. But it has pressure sensitivity; I think it was working out of the box, but I don't remember now.

---

Well it didn't work at all that easy for me

and yeah does take a week or so to get use to the thing, but once you do it makes drawing on the pc a lot more fun!

---

It is ok, I wouldn't talk to me either...

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it!
