My view: Wacom Intuos Small Graphic Tablet (with pen+eraser)

My first sketch

On the 28th May, 2015, I ordered my very first graphics tablet. It arrived in the mail the next week and I was happy to get it so I could get it set up, ready to use.

Since I haven't used a graphics tablet before, this was a weird thing for me to get use to, but it took me no longer then a day or two. Obviously, when it was set up, I opened up Photoshop and started drawing, again, it was weird and odd at first. I decided quickly, that the easiest way for me to get use to the tablet, would be to simply, use it as a mouse or an expensive trackpad with a pen. I do think that did help.
Now, going into this, I wasn't the best drawer, was alright, was not the best; but I do think it will encourage me a bit to draw a little more. I have been getting use to it. I've been taking photos of things, and tracing them in Photoshop, like for example, my sister's dog and my King Dedede amiibo. It's been a nice experience and I really am enjoying using this new thing.

I picked a Waccom tablet because I feel they are a good, reliable maker of graphics tablets, and I've had my eye on them for about two years, which is how long I've wanted a graphic tablet for. But now I've got one, it looks great and I'm loving it. I know this is a basic tablet but I know I don't need anything fancy since this is my first.
I would suggest, that if you were thinking about getting a graphics tablet, please look at what Waccom has to offer~!

I'm A Slacker!

I'm a terrible person. And by that, I mean I've been too lazy to write so~ HELLO AGAIN! I know I start every blog like that and I'm sorry.
Now, I am also a terrible reader. By that I mean, I said I'll aim to read one month, and for the first 2 months, I did well. I read 2 books from the Anita Blake series. But once it hit March, I just slowly stopped then. Which is a real shame.
In April and May, mostly May, I've done a little bit of stuff. I guess. I bought a few books, a couple new Nintendo Amiibo, 2 are not here yet, and I've had a birthday. The cake was not a lie, but it was late.

Costco!

Closer to the beginning of the month, Mum sighed up to Costco since there is now a warehouse in Adelaide, SA. I paid for half the membership, kinda meaning I get the 'free' second house holder card or whatever it is. But it is pretty amazing in there. We've been there twice now and we've both bought stuff. My purchases however, have been on book box sets, and that's all. The first time we went, I bough the George R.R. Martin box set of A Song of Ice and Fire. I bought it for about $46.50 and doing a bit of research, it retails, new, for about $70 here in Australia. Meaning I saved a bit over $20, which to me is pretty great. The second time we went, which was a few days ago, I bought the complete Harry Potter box set by J.K. Rowling. I bought that for $53 from Costco, from what I can find online, this set sells for about $90 new. That's almost a $40 saving!

Other Stuff!

Now, other things I've bought recently that I have been enjoying include the first 3 editions of the One Piece manga, and a King DeDeDe Nintendo Amibo. I have 2 more Amiibo on the way, a JigglyPuff for my sister, and the Silver Mario for me. Guess what I'm keeping in the packaging? I do have more amiibo on pre-order but I won't get them for another few months.
Recently, I've also purchased a Wacom Intuos Graphics Tablet, so I hope to enjoy that when it comes.
