Yes finally. Finally, it is here. I have been waiting for my new graphics tablet for a while now. At first, I was a bit scared ... scared I might break it the first day. Scared I might not use it enough. Scared it will already come broken. Scared it won't work. Scared of the new and unknown. Just simply scared. Over the days ... that fear was soon replaced with impatience.

It was perfect timing. I literally just walked in my home when I got the call.

The mailman was a bit overwhelmed at the price, thinking his price scanner got broken. The cats, of course, wanted their share of the box.

And the installation didn't go as smoothly as I wanted it to. Thanks to @steemitadventure it is now in full working order and operating. All of the pics were already made on it. What did I learn so far? That my mouse work is almost same as my pen one. :D Then again I was drawing with my mouse for the last 20 years. It was a bit slow ... still, have about 837845758 settings to do and different programs to try ... BUT so far loving it!

In case I lower my posts and curation activity in the next future days - I am ok. I am not dead, no the cats didn't eat me. I just got a new toy. :3

Ahaha :) You will get used to it soon. Just start using it without mouse at all and that's it :)

Awesome news! :) Looking forward to seeing more of your creations!

Congrats! Totally relate to all the concerns about a big purchase, but sounds like it'll be a great learning experience.

Hoooray! You got a cintiq! No wonder the mailman was surprised xD I still have a 11 year old wacom graphire... It still works so I have no legit excuse to change it xD anyways I don't use it often anymore as I did before.
Btw you have to get used to it, merge with it, let it guide you!xD I can't wait to see more of you art with your new tool ;)

I mean TOY!lol

Im a bit scared of the thing ...will see how it goes. Maybe to much of the new stuff at once ...trying out new programs and see where it takes me. :)

have you tried Paint tool SAI? is kinda cool =)
you'll do great at any you choose!

The Wife loves her Cintiq! She got it used in England and has used it every single day.

I can't wait to see what you make with yours.

When my illustrator at work switched to a tablet, it changed his drawings quite considerably. It's nice to see yours have the same wonderful charm. Is it faster than with a mouse?

right now? no....my mouse and I were fused...so i was super fast with it. But its quick enoug...will get quicker in time.These pictures will stay...since for posts i like quick doodles....but want to do a bit more i guess.

Have fun with the new tablet! Can't wait to see what you do with it.
