Description
Cuz that's all this whole piece is really XD My new tablet came today! Perhaps some of you have seen the Monoprice Tablet post on tumblr...and holy crap, let me back up those reviews. This tablet is just as good as my Wacom Bamboo if not better! It feels sturdier, the pressure sensitivity is beautifully smooth, and there's no less than 24 buttons you can customize however you like! I kept most of mine the same, there's buttons to undo and redo and open word and cut and paste and open the internet and save ad zoom in and out...all built in! All I changed was to make one 'Ctrl' and one on the side buttons 'Undo' cuz it's easier for me to hit from there.And best of all? It cost me $58. That's it! I could buy four of these tablets for the price of a new Bamboo!
So for those of you looking into possibly getting a tablet but you don't want to spend a ton of money? This is seriously the way to go
Heck, if you're looking into a new tablet period, this is a good way to go!And in the midst of my spiel, enjoy Lissy being pretty

I'm not sure which version it is, but so far it's great!

I do not know how you do everything digitally, wow.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Practice, lol. Honestly, at this point, digital sketching is easier for me than traditional stuff ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just... ugh, it's hard!! The learning curve is hard, especially since I'm so much better at traditional.
Also I keep trying to figure out what program I wanna use, and confusing myself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it takes practice obviously. I think digital is more forgiving, since you can move things around and resze them. So even while you're learning, you're creating stuff you can be happy with ^^ With traditional, once you screw up, there's not usually a lot you can d but start over >.>
Well, if you're going into drawing, I'd reccomend SAI. it's designed for digital drawing and painting, unlike photoshop which was made for editing photos. Obviously both work. but SAI has the line art tool, which i would die without! It's a speciel layer, you draw the line, and then while holding ctrl you can move the line around until it's perfect!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but it's hard because I feel like I have to relearn everything. My pen isn't directly on the drawing.
Okay, so SAI is awesome, but it's not made for Mac, so I have to use a wine wrapper, and that means no pen pressure. Also, it kept crashing on me and I had to quit using it. Photoshop doesn't crash. It makes me sad.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but it gets easier with practice ^^ I just use mine for everything. i don't even use a mouse anymore, I just use my tablet, lol.
I'm not sure what you mean by wine wrapper o.O
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a thing that allows PC programs to be used on my Mac. I don't really know how it works. It worked okay for GIMP but SAI kept crashing.

Hmm...someone on Viria's tumblr thingie mentioned Parallels Desktop which does the same sort of thing?

Hmmm. I haven't heard of that before. I'll have to look it up.

I LOVE the leg crossing over. Your hand articulation is really good. That's a hard thing to do consistently!
That's good to know, too, about the tablet. Monoprice. I'm definitely one who would someday want a better tablet but doesn't care about the best name brand. I have an old Wacom now and while it's good for my skills, I'm sure an updated one would be nice and better.

Yeah...you should be able to see her other knee and her other shoe, but I was too lazy to add them by the time I realized what was bugging me ^^ Cuz they're not crossed
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooh, I see it now. It still works, though. It looks like her right leg is crossed over into the foreground and her left leg is under and tucked behind her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can see that! Now I shall just pretend I did that on purpose

"Ten points from Ravenclaw for having your shirt untucked!"
Never sit around looking languid where Professor Snape can see you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, I don't think even Snape would do that though 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're right. Snape would take ten points for a sloppy shirt from a Gryffindor, but from a Ravenclaw he'd take only five. After all, Slytherin and Ravenclaw are Sister Houses.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think he'd take points for a sloppy shirt at all. Most of the teachers were perfectly cool about it, letting the kids wear the uniforms as they saw fit. Umbridge was the only one who ever seemed to care about that type of thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a generational thing. For Lissy, having her shirt hanging out from under her sweater is stylish, but I'm close to Snape's age and to me it just looks slobbish. Snape expects his Slytherins to dress sharp, as a matter of House pride. He probably chews out his Slytherins for sloppy dressing, deducts points from Gryffs whenever he sees it, and deducts somewhat fewer points from the other two Houses only when he happens to be in a particularly bad mood. Beware of Snape on migraine days!

I dunno, he let Draco walk around with his shirt untucked a whole bunch, and he was the suck up
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did he? In the books? I don't remember it ever being mentioned, but I could easily have forgotten.
Well, Draco was a Slytherin and the son of one of Snape's fellow Death Eaters, so he got away with a lot, at least publicly. Slytherin discipline stayed in-House.

I don't think they talked about it at all. They didn't even mention uniforms at the school at all really. All the cover art had them in normal clothes with robes over them.

She is very pretty!!! I love her outfit!!!
WOW!!! COOL!!!!

Lol, it's just the school uniform
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah... but I LOVE some school uniforms. hehehe
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, I do too XD I think it helps that i didn't grow up having to wear them though

Yeah... I wouldn't want to wear one day in and day out.

$58? Wow that's pretty cheap! Lissy is so pretty in this :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very cheap! My Bamboo was $112 with a huge discount! And thank you

Yay! Lissy's back!
I have been thinking about posibly getting a tablet, but I just don't know. I tried my brother's bamboo and it just wasn't for me. But I really want to try digital drawing and coloring and this is way more in my price range, so I just may reconsider a tablet again!

When you first start with a tablet it's confusing, I know >.< It took me quite a while to figure out what I was doing. But practice makes perfect! When I first got my tablet, I thought I wouldn't use it much, and look at me now. Digital has taken over XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, practice does make perfect.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good plan! And if you go for a cheaper tablet like this one, then you'll have a good tablet to try without going completely broke!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes and if it's as good a tablet as more expensive ones then everything works out peachy.

Oookay so I know which tablet I'm ordering now
Oh I saw some stuff from Wacom though, when I'll be rich, I'll get them... A tablet which is also your computer screen, so you basically draw on your screen, plus it's enormous. A pen that registers what you draw on paper and sends it to your computer. And a ton of dreamy stuff like that... OH, WHEN I'LL BE RICH...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I actually don't really want one of those, lol. They'd be cool, but at the same time, I NEVER sit at a desk while drawing. I prefer something portable and durable like a tablet that I can hold in my lap while I work ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do like to have it on my lap, too ! But I think when you're a professionnal and have to keep a good position all day so you won't have to hurt your back or anything. Plus, you can bend it any way you like, or take it off and put it on your lap (though it's bigger and probably heavier than a normal tablet). Anyway, I'm not a pro so I wouldn't have the use of it, and I can't afford it anyway, it just looked dreamy xD
PS : my mom is okay to order me the new tablet, I'll pay her back, but I couldn't've done it without her lending me her card xD So we'll do that tonight, hopefully in a few days I can draw digitally again, hurray !!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Technically you're supposed to, but I never do XD Sitting up straight is weird and uncomfortable! though with the back problems my dad has, I should really sit properly more often...
I think I'd be scared of scratching the screen and then it being super expensive to get fixed >.<
Hurrayness!! New tablets are exciting!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nor do I, don't even sit at my desk anymore... My bed is just a lot more comfy xD (and less flooded with stuff and mess...)
Uh, yeah, you're right... I hadn't thought of the scratches, but I guess it must be very expensive to fix Oo But then again, when it's for your work, I think you get to be more careful with it, and not use it like you do at home. Or it depends, if you're alone in a studio or with other people in an office, I don't know... I'm not sure I ever will, either xD If one day in a future job I get to work with that kind of stuff, I'll tell you !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, there's so much crap on my desk...oy...I should really clean it off at some point 
Very true! I'm just scared to spend so much money on something I might not need
