My current tablet is a graphire 3 3x4" from wacom. I got it many moons ago. It's given me trouble ever since I first got it.
Sometimes it decides to work, other times it does not. I'm not sure what the problem is. I even got a replacement at one point.
My main issue now is with the actual usage of it. When I try to go from thin to thick lines, it works. But I can't go from soft to hard. All it does is...go from thin to thick!
I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the software, drivers, the oldness of the tablet, or maybe I'm just using it wrong. Either way, I need to figure out what to do. Do I get another cheap tablet and hope that works better, or save up for a really good tablet that'd be like $150. Because maybe my tablet is working to its full capacities. It's just that it sucks for the type of colouring I want to do.
I wish there was a place to test tablets so I knew what I wanted.

In other art news, I'm reading through a book I got about a year ago on how to draw the human form. Something that has plagued me for years are muscles and body forms. I know what these things are, but when I try to draw them, they come out really bad and mismatched. I'm not sure how I gain a good grasp on muscles and how they're related enough that I'd be able to draw a flexible human being.
Maybe I can find a tutorial online tomorrow, or they'll be something in this book.
I just feel all left out. It's like everyone else just picks this stuff up, but muscles don't make any sense to me. I don't know what a human being looks like I guess!
Luckily, I get out of work at 11 tomorrow, so I have all day to draw.
I don't think I'll post much here. Just going to be sketches that I toss right out. Or collect and use as some crazy sketchbook project. Which I no longer have to do since I'm not an art student anymore. But oh wells.

Please if you know anything of relevance tell me. Thank you.

I am upset that I ran out of my 40 free hours on Pandora this month. Luckily it resets in exactly one day.

Okay, well, I really need to get to bed.
I really do love you all. Take care.
