  1. Damn, I really must get myself a Wacom… Thanks a lot for featuring our Broken Link tutorial Chris, the other tuts also look like awesome reading :).

  2. Thanks for the post. It is good to go back and check over these tips even when you have been using a tablet for awhile.

  3. I’ve been hunting down tutorials for the past month and this is the best collection ever. Thanks a ton Chris!

  4. Oh man!
    Hopefully I’ll be buying an Intuos4, in less than a month, and this is what I was looking for, Thanks alot!!!
    :]

  5. My Wacom tablet is collecting dust for years now. I just can’t get used to it. Maybe this tutorials will help. Thanks, Chris

  6. I really want to buy myself a Wacom tablet and these tutorials will be very useful! I can start creating my designs in no time :D

  7. amazing! i bought my intuos4 months ago and havent had a chance to do anything with it due to the lack of resources i have of where to get started. this will definitely help, thanks so much!

  8. As one who doesn’t have much faith in his artistic abilities, you’ve just given me more reasons to dust off my Bamboo tablet and get stuck into some illustration again :) Thanks Chris!

  9. Hi Chris! thank you for posting this! I recently bought a bamboo wacom tablet. I haven’t done anything awesome with it so I’m going to start with these.

    Thanks again! ^________^

  10. I’m trying to figure out how to get a background that is similar to the brown background at the very top of this blog (behind the paper airplane)? Does anyone know what this effect is called or where I can find a similar background?

  11. Earlier this year I bought an Intuos 4 tablet, but haven’t really used it so much, due to lack of knowledge and advices how to get started. This post is an essential problem solver and excellent starting point, how it should really work for beginners. Thank you very much!

  12. Great examples! I love my pen tablet. Word to the wise, however, don’t leave them laying around. Someone thought mine was a pen with no ink and threw it away! Just the pens are like $35 ea. Live and learn!
