I have a question, lads.
So i am about a C/C+ drawer on Charcoal, C/C1- in paper, but when i try to use a tablet i'm a fucking retard.
I've had the Wacom tablet for like 8 years, but i have to draw in paper and just use the tablet to color. I figure it's the tactile/physical feedback, by now i should be used by it, but i am just not. I need to see the pen touching the paper instead of starring at screen.
Would buying a tablet screen be worth it or what?
Pic related, it's what i have.

Download some custom brushes and play with it for a while until you get used to it

Assuming you're being serious, that tablet is meant for taking signatures, not drawing. Upgrading to at least a medium-size tablet will help.

That said, a good screen tablet is nice, still not as good as paper, but much closer. It won't make your drawings better but IME it should make you faster and more comfortable. If you can afford it, go for it.

I have no idea what this C bullshit is supposed to mean, but yeah that's a known problem when transferring from physical media to digital.
You have to try it for a longer time, like drawing on paper it's basically its own tool and you need to familiarise yourself with it.

Everyone I've spoken to has actually preferred using a non-screen tablet over all but the very best (and expensive) screen tablets, but I've never had a chance to get intimate with one.
It also helps that you don't try with a little tiny thing like that, I'm not sure what those tiny little bamboo pads are good for but they're definitely not good for art; your results may vary, but it's not doing you any favors.

I never thought about the size having an impact...interesting, i just ordered some Chinese screen tablet about 3x the size to try it out.
