I've been using my tablet to make digital art for about a year now. I love it dearly as it was my first, and I feel like I really learned a lot about digital art while using it, but our relationship is coming to an end soon.
Currently my canvas sizes are limited so really zooming in and rendering small details has been challenging. The poor thing is crashing more often which is giving me weekly panics where I wonder if I have lost hours of work. Sometimes the art gods are kind to me and when I reopen the app it's all there but too many times I have lost layers or the entire file has become corrupted :(
MFW my tablet crashes
I don't buy tech without lots of research and spec comparisons, so after a month of searching I have found what I hope to be a fantastic graphic monitor for a reasonable price and I ordered it today!
Squeeeeeeeeeee!
I have no doubt that it will take us some time to get to know one another, the workflow will be different and I'm a realist, every piece of tech has it's quirks. But hopefully when it arrives it will be even more joyous for me to create and leave me free to express myself fully without all these annoying limits and obstacles.
This week I will most likely be posting the last art that I'll be making from my tablet. I might use it from time to time if I want to be mobile or just to play around a bit, but I'm looking forward to turning a new page and hopefully upping my game a bit.
This feels like a new chapter in my artistic journey and I'm feeling very enthusiastic!
