長年の夢だった「ペンタブでイラストを描く」を実現するべくXP-PenのDeco 01 V2という板タブを買った。初心者向けのサイトを見ると何処も液タブを薦めているが、経済的に無理だし、第一置き場所がない。とにかく練習を始めて1週間。文字は紙とペン同様に書けるようになってきたが、図形はまだ歪むし積み木のように組み合わせると何故か各図形が離れてしまう。運筆による長い直線は15°近く角度がずれて愕然。サイドボタン暴発も多発。板タブを炬燵の上に25°位で設置+座椅子+座布団では高さが足りないのか。試しに板タブを垂直にして高さ10数cmの箱の上に置き、左手で押さえながら書いたら25°よりはましになったが固定方法が思いつかない。スタイラスペンを走らせる頭の片隅に設置場所問題が過って段々集中力も落ちてきた。もうペンタブ台を自作するしかないのか。

Drawing tablet not working properly - pointer shows

I just installed Ubuntu 26.04. I am new to all this. I have tried two different tablets, and both had the same issue. When I tried it shows the pointer moving, but I can't click on icons or draw. T...

I made a test ROM for the Oeka Kids drawing tablet for Famicom based on the description at NESdev Wiki. I had someone with a tablet try it.

It didn't work.

The tablet's slow microcontroller requires a lot of waiting in the read routine. The MCU turned out to be so slow that reading a pen position took 67 scanlines, or one-fourth of an NTSC frame. Neither Mesen nor FCEUX modeled this slowness.

It took three revisions before I had a read routine I was happy with. All for a silly little Anpanman licensed game.

I am annoyed.
For 35 years I've been telling myself that i just have no talent to #draw anything that's not a diagram.
Anytime i doodled around, I had proof that drawing is not my forte.

Then I bought myself a #graphicstablet. The smallest i could find that would work with Linux, a Wacom Intuos Small for like 50€.

I was already using #krita, but with the tablet suddenly a lot of stuff got easy. All those brushes suddenly were useful.

And while my drawings look miles, if not lightyears away from being professional, they look fine.
Perfectly serviceable for my D&D games.

I even think the drawings are better than the final coloured images.

And i am bummed no one gave me such a tablet in 1997. 15-yr-old me would have been very happy to have some kind of artistic talent. 🥺
Even if a time machine would have to have been involved...
I bought myself a #graphicstablet, to find out if digitally painting is more fun for me, and if I might get better with more cheating tools.

And yes, it is way more fun with a pen than with a #trackball... And layers are my friend. Soooo many layers.

This is a partymember of one of my #DnD games, a halforc warlock with a glaive and cleanliness issues.

I found a reference pose on the internet and felt the need to paint her.

There is definitely more to learn and do better, but for a first project with the tablet and #krita, this is ok. 😅

Lenovo unveils laptops with touchpads that can be used as graphics tablet with stylus support

Acer isn’t the only company that introduced a new laptop at CES that has a touchpad so large that the company figured you might want to use it as a graphics tablet. Like the new Acer Swift 16, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i Aura Edition 15 inch and Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition 16 inch laptops hav a large haptic touchpad with support for pressure-sensitive pen input, allowing you to write or draw on […]

So my #DM killed my #character last night, and I had to unearth my backup char. Which was fully prepared and only missing Hp, so no trouble there.

The new char is a #shapeshifter that took 2 appearances from people with their permission, a man and a woman. So what I needed for pictures was a man and a woman wearing the same armor and clothing.
That's just not something any LLM available to me can do. Metal plates are mandatory for leather armor, and women have to have boob cups. Or boob windows. 🙄

But between creating the char and needing it, I picked up a #graphicstablet. So I drew them myself, starting from #poses I stole from the internet.
I'm not 100% happy with how they turned out, but they look sooooo much better that before the tablet. I might update my status to #aspiringArtist 😅

I am thinking about buying a graphics tablet for trying out digital drawing.
I have a feeling that I probably don't like it that much but am still curious. Maybe I should buy something like an Gaomon S620 to test this?
Last time I used a graphics tablet was when my sister bought a cheap entry level wacom tablet in maybe 2010. This Gaomon tablet must be at least as capable as that wacom tablet, right?

I'm not a real #artist, but I would like to try my hand at painting and drawing stuff.
So I want a #graphicstablet, with a pen.
I need one that works with #Linux, and I want something that works connected to my PC or #offline/on the go.
I do NOT want #android.
And I'd like something that is about or smaller than A5.

I don't think I'm going to find anything other than #paper 🥺

#20252025Challenge
Sometimes this year long challenge has felt like being in prison with my drawing tablets, and I often think about what I'll be doing next year when I get out (when the challenge ends).

The 2025 20-25 Challenge.

This year let’s get better at something by finding a little practice time most days, in my case drawing. - Do your activity for at least 25 minutes, at least 25 days per month.
- Use the hashtag #20252025Challenge on social media etc to track your progress
- Also use the hashtag to cheer on others.

That’s about it!

Have fun with your activities, whatever they may be!

Drawing, programming, dancing, cooking, make up, reading, languages, gardening, mastering high fives, sewing, astrophysics, vcr clock setting ...
