I bet the Cintiq is awesome. Casey, the tablet is definitely essential for the modern illustrator. I don't much like the idea of the "undo" button, though... that means you never have to learn from your mistakes. Lisa, it's not quite that bad... but it's bad. ;) Erik, I have tablet jealousy.

I love the little froggie with his balloon spots! He's adorable! White gel pen... on my list. :) This sounds almost like blind contour drawing. Very frustrating indeed!

Anyone doing drawing or illustration would be foolish not to, since everything can be saved, re-drawn or established as an element for the next artwork. I had a neighbor at the Park City fair doing digital work, and he used the direct on the screen method. I salute you for going with a tablet style method.

I eventually gave up with it, and bought a Cintiq (where the screen is on the tablet itself). Pricey, but it made ALL the difference... I had the same problem with my first tablet, in both senses.
