I SO agree! We even got people without tablets saying that it doesn't make you a better artest, so it must be true!

[olivionary]

So true! I'm a somewhat good artist without a tablet.I wanted a tablet because my drawings on paper/a touch screen pad are so much better.

So true!

My bffl goes on here and wishes she had a tablet, but her art is still amazing!

Iagree sooooo much, even thoguh I have a tablet! People think that you get so much better when you get a tablet, but it just takes a shorter amount of time to draw!!!

Well, pressure sensitivity and the fact that it's more natural are pluses as well. c;

Not sure where all this anger is coming from.

It doesn't equate becoming a good artist. A tablet is a tool. It's a much better tool. This is sort of like saying that just because you don't have a paintbrush doesn't mean you're a bad painter. Sure, some people can do some amazing things with finger-paints, but a paintbrush makes it much easier, yes? Additionally, having a paintbrush doesn't make you a master artist. It just makes it -easier-.

Deep breath and don't drink the haterade, y'all. You're getting way too worked up about this split that I think exists mainly in your head and nowhere else. Good art is good art, period.

Touching, but not everyone is going to listen to you.

I half-way agree with megarin.
People believe what they want to believe, do not judge them for that. On another site, I posted a picture I drew on Paint, and I said I made it with a touch-pad. Five people commented saying the following: "Get a tablet!" or something similar to that. A lot of people on CS that have tablets, but don't understand, are like "Wow! That's great thanks to your tablet!"
You can be amazing with a touch-pad, and some people on CS are too blinded to see that.

[brian emo]

I haven't seen anyone say anything remotely close to "Get a tablet!" or "Wow! That's great thanks to your tablet!"
And why are you guys being rude to Harpalyce? She was pointing out the truth ^^

[reilly]

Yes, end of discusion, sorry for all your troubles with having or not having a tablet, just get on with life before this confersation gets out of hand.


I say that yet I am annoyed because there are adds on this site for tablets

I agree with Harp.. a tablet just makes it easier. A touchpad is like a tablet, but instead of a pen, it's your finger you're using. A tablet doesn't matter at all, I see alot of people who are in intermediate boards that use a mouse or touchpad. Don't have a tablet? Well it doesn't matter... art is still art and an artist is still and artist.
