Pressure-sensitive tablets are probably the best things to come around for the computer graphics specialist since the invention of the CD burner. They’re a bit awkward to get used to at first, but they increase your workflow considerably once you get used to them. In my opinion, nothing will ever replace the tried-n-true pencil and paper approach to drawing, but a tablet is a great tool to have on hand, especially in coloring your work.



You won’t need one for this tutorial, but if you want to get serious about animated cartoon work and don't have a Wacom yet, think about getting one… I’d suggest you "test-drive" one first before you put out the money, as they obviously aren’t for everyone.

OK. Think of the pressure sensitivity like this. When you are drawing with a pencil and you are barely using any pressure it comes out very lightly, but when you press really hard the link comes out darker and thicker. When you are using a tablet when you press very softly the line comes out very light and thin but when you press harder... you know the rest. You can tell how this works cos if you look at the nib of the pen (the plastic stick) you can see it become shorter as it is being pressed up into the bulk of the pen.

you can use it to do really light sketches or outlines and so on.
