Practicing using my new graphics tablet, I’ve only had it a day and I’m still getting the hang of it. I’m doing quick sketches of anything I can think of and today’s sketch is a chicken :) No reason I drew a cartoon chicken it was the first thing that came into my head, but […]

Hi, there!
You’re using your new Huion tablet, right? How’s the size and ease of use been working out for you? I’ve been considering getting a Huion instead of an (honestly overpriced) Cintiq myself, and your husband’s review in consideration of the weight/comfort factor made me more seriously consider it. :)
By the by, does GIMP actually have pressure sensitivity for you? It never has for me, but every other art program I’ve tried does.
If you’re open to trying a new drawing-specific program, I’d recommend either Krita (which is free but really great to draw on and has lots of fun, useful brushes!) or SAI (which is about ￥6500, but is simpler for some people to draw with than Krita or GIMP). Both Krita and SAI have good pressure sensitivity, and may speed up your workflow and/or improve the quality of your drawings. However, GIMP is the best of the three at editing and color balancing, so it’s definitely still a viable tool in your arsenal.
Hope that helps! If you do try one of the programs I recommend, I’d love to hear back on how well they work for you. :)
