Yes and no.

I have fun when I draw something fun, but 95+% of the time I'm studying or practicing and I'm not having that great of a time. I'm not really having a bad time either mind you but I'm not completely enthralled and can get distracted easily as a result. Progress is slow. It doesn't look like I'm going to make it, but I'm not going to go down without a fight either.

>nigga i used a tablet like that for 5 years.

Because of my personal goals I find the ability to draw free-hand extremely important, and I don't think it's something you've completely abandoned either, otherwise you wouldn't have rubber-banded from a $70 Intuos Draw to a $1000+ Cintiq, just like I essentially did the equivalent of at one time.

Nonetheless, without pressing you too much on what exactly you used it for that's five years you could have been using something much better (which would have been almost anything) in exchange for the equivalent of working a couple days at a menial job (depending on the country you're in, of course). Can you honestly say you wouldn't have spent a penny (give or take a couple hundred thousand) more on something that would have guaranteed you substantially better line accuracy and assured you faster artistic progression if you could do it all over again? I've been down basically the same road you have and you couldn't pay me to use one of those things again, let alone give me one for free.

It's just not worth it, man.
