I've been wanting a pressure-sensitive tablet for a very long time. I found the cintiq tablet by wacom online a while ago while researching what tablets wacom was making (because seriously, what other company is there but wacom? :P) and this thing is AWESOME.
All tablets make drawing on the computer easier, but this is just something else. I've always been crap at direct drawing into photoshop mostly because of the lack of a pressure sensitive tablet, but drawing ACTUALLY onto the image you're working on and not looking up at a screen while drawing feels SO much more natural.
I doodled this in about two minutes, including doing blue underlines etc, all in photoshop.
I need to get some more brushes so I can REALLY play! :D
