Out of Pod Experience

I am on my second stylus. Stupid me thinking that it was a problem with the pen that i was having, and not the tablet, bought another one. That's around 30 bucks of buyers remorse.


My issue is that when I hover the Stylus over the tablet, the mouse pointer bounces up and down rapidly. Needless to say it i unusable. I have the latest driver and I have a brand new pen. This tablet worked once, and this problem just started one day out of the blue. Evidently it is not the pen.



Anyone else have a Wacom Bamboo tablet with a problem like this?

More of an aspiring artist


Ill look into the intuos because this is defiantly my last bamboo tablet. People rav about wacom but so far I find their product lacking, their customer service is more or less non existent and they appear to have a history of releasing ****** drivers. Shame really, I really would have liked to pressure sensitivity.


I' will also check for tape. Go figure.

can i see some of your work? i mean, i'm not professional either

ohp... gah that's right. i'm sorry, i'm stpuid and senile. i forgot.

i was like, 'eternum praetorian'... where do i know this name......

my gut feeling was from an argument, totally forgot about the charon pic

there isn't much I can share--most of my art is naked girls and sex

usually pencil on paper sketch, since I can do that anywhere and it doesn't require a computer...

then the sketch is scanned, and redone and colored digitally with photoshop and the intuos. I have a habit of warping my perspective in sketches, so when they're scanned, I correct the distortion in photoshop. for example, I would shorten the neck of the first sketch in the following link--it was drawn too long

this is all from 2009-2011. the black haired girl with the captain's jacket is Rain6637 as I was inspired to draw her when I started playing EVE :-3

I zoomed in on chun li's eyes to give an idea what scale I work on my drawings.

I haven't made any significant progress or had much practice in the last couple years. but that should change soon. I'm back in school, and have time on my hands...

I really need more practice.

but I'm a dilettante

thanks broski. i tried to get that one done without using outlines. was somewhat successful, though I feel it was mostly useful in showing me how much work i need. hah.

hey so... about color: this book taught me 90% of what I know of color. the rest of what I know is how it relates to computer monitors and RGB rather than irl color which is RYB.

Color. A course in mastering the art of mixing colors, 2004, Penguin Putnam. by Betty Edwards. she's the author of the famous book "drawing on the right side of the brain" which I think is gimmicky

if you look, you can find it electronically, like I did. will really open your eyes to how complicated color can be, and how much we take for granted. but if you learn how color works, it's simple and very effective

//while typing this and discovering it's $13 USD and available nearby, I've reserved it and am about to pick one up tonight.

it's one of those books that is worth it. also, viewing colors through a computer monitor is not an accurate representation of color (you'll know what i mean when you read the book)
