Love My Wacom Tablet!
- Water Lily Sketch
I installed my Bamboo Fun Wacom Tablet last night and have been playing with it today. New toys are sooo much fun! It came bundled with Adobe Photoshop Elements, Corel Painter Essentials and some other program that I haven’t installed yet. I didn’t install Photoshop Elements since I already have the full blown version, but I did install Corel Painter and it’s pretty neat and very easy to use. My daughter has been bugging me to install the tablet for weeks now and I’ve promised to let her play with it today after school. I can just see -we’re both going to be fighting over it now. 
The pencil tool feels surprisingly like sketching on paper – there’s even an eraser. It takes a little practice getting used to the fact that while I was sketching on the tablet, I was watching my computer monitor. My hand didn’t always do what I wanted it too like I was having a eye/hand coordination issue. At any rate, after a bit more practice, I’m turning some digital sketches into ceramic laser toner decals.
I used the trace function today in Corel to “sketch” an image of a painting I did a few years ago:
