I grew up drawing my whole life, and went to college for art as well in the 90's - working primarily in traditional media up until my last year or two in college, when I started working more in Photoshop and Illustrator before graduating.
It's been quite a while since I've drawn anything, or picked up some newsprint and charcoal and started working on any type of traditional artwork. But I've been getting an itch to possibly invest in one of those Wacom digital tablet/screens - or any other good brand. I'm talking about the ones that are like a large tablet, where you are actually drawing on the screen itself, not a separate flat surface.
But I'm wondering if I will still enjoy it as much as I did when working with charcoal and newsprint. I know how to recreate those effects in Photoshop, but you can't "draw" with a plain old mouse.
Do any of you have these? And if so, what are your thoughts on drawing on glass screens vs. standard paper?
