I got one of those Wacom tablets for Father's Day... and this is my first scribble.
It was very tempting to adjust lines with the 'Curve Tool' but I was able to stop myself... but only barely... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I would be happy if I could "scribble" 1/4 that well. Nice work Risto.I got one of the small reconditioned tablets from Wacom about 2 months ago and really like it. As for slippery, I raised the top end of mine about 2 in. to match the angle I hold the pen and that seemed to be less slippery.

Looks fantastic!!! Your image looks so cheerful too, I love your artwork!!! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] I think Ross mentioned that you can tape a piece of paper to the tablet to make the pen grab hold better. Hope that is helpful! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
Wow Risto, what great scibbling... great colors...and yahoo on getting a digitab...can hardly wait to view your second scribble... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
and Maya's right about the piece of paper. The stuff that I use for printing works extreamly well for more control.
There there are times when I want it to be even more slippery, my hands sweat and so I use powder on them to make them really dry to I can get a good continuous line.
Hope that helps ya

... I appreciate your comments and suggestions! It is fun with a tablet. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
The paper idea works pretty good. It tends to buckle a little bit after a while... but printer paper is cheap. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Mike - I tried your idea too - but it feels very akward for me... it would take some time to get used too it.
Risto -- What a marvellous image! You never cease to amaze and entertain me.
TIP: To make the surface less slippery, attach a large sheet of fly paper sticky side up. That ought to arrest your speed [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]
