Got a Wacom Tablet!

Last week, or maybe the week before, thanks to a Comp USA near me closing down I was able to get a nice Wacom Graphire 4 6x8 for much less than they usually go for. I've always wanted a Wacom tablet, just never wanted to spend the price on what they go for. Now that I have my own I finally sat down with it and tried to really draw with one. This is the first drawing to come out of that. I did it using Sketchbook Pro, which is just an awesome program for drawing on the computer. It took quite a bit of getting used to, it's strange to not be looking at your hand as you draw, was a new experience for sure. Though I really like some of the freedoms working on the PC allows you. It's so quick and easy to make big changes, add in color, erase something then bring it back and compare the two going back and forth between them.
