So lately I haven't been doing so well with my digital art, I blame my mouse because I'm such a good drawer, but when i switch to mouse, I suck more (not to mention it's not pressure sensitive, so it looks even worse).

Does a pen really make that big'a difference?

Do you prefer a Mouse?...

A digital pen/tablet makes a HUGE difference!
Sure, you might feel it's a little weird just to begin with, but give it an hour or so of just doodling and trying it out and you'll never want to use a mouse to draw with again.

Here's the difference of me drawing with the mouse vs a pen.
Note that these are both just fast doodles, not fixed and corrected.

Of course a tablet is way better than a mouse for drawings! Even if it's not a precise drawing (like Gormash's up there :grin:) it's still much easier with a pen. Think about it! What's easier. Using a pen or using a tiny little arrow on a screen?

Wow, thats crazy. Thanks for the comparisons, i couldn't have asked for a better answer. - Also, I used Pens in my freshman year of high school for Photoshop... and i never really liked them until about a week later, my work came out much faster, and possibly even better. I jusr wanted your guy's personal Opinion.

Thanks.
