Wow... the fact that they have a live-feed webcam for it is quite.... lame..... but hell it tells you what time it is over there, I guess that's convenient.

Happy Birthday D and Lu!

I tried SAI today to discover pressure sensitivity isn't working, it works in flash and in photoshop, but not in SAI, tried the solutions found through google searching but none of them worked thusfar, just wondering if you guys have had this problem and how did you fix it?

I just manually change it with the Pressure tool.
It's a pain in the ass, mostly.

Pressure tool? I tried a google search on that too, couldn't find anything just said each tool has a pressure setting, screen shot maybe?

Regular Layers and Linework Layers have different tools.
My bad.
I just use the curve tool, along with the weight and pressure tools.
I find it's easier to control and modify the lines than just using the pen tool.

Oh, naw I meant with the regular layers not the pen ones, thanks anyway.

Well, I just tried on a regular layer, pressure sensitivity works fine on my end, at least, as fine as it can work on a 5 year old tablet.
Maybe adjust your tablet's sensitivity rather than the program's and see if that changes anything?

My tablet is a 5 year old Bamboo Fun, and it works on the other programs, both in sensitivity and general functionality. I tried seeing if it was my tablet, reinstalling, uninstalling, resetting drivers and preferences, but it doesn't make a difference in regards to SAI.

At least your not having my issue. My tablet wasn't working since I realized I was using the wrong tablet pen. =( guess I should have been a blonde.

At least you guys have a tablet :'(

I draw better with pencils though, I think, my tablet is a huge crutch or something

I still don't know how to use the thing other then a mouse.

I've used a tablet or cintiq for 10 years, I've technically drawn more on a tablet than anything, paper, paint, pencil, anything, and I'm STILL better with a pen or pencil. Doesn't make sense.

I think this won't make much sense but I've noticed for me that any skills I attain through the tablet transfer to my pen and pencil work but not really the other way around so I could see how you'd be that way haha

The way I see it, drawing with a tablet is kind of like trying to jog with weights tied to your ankles, wrists and waist. It's going to slow you down considerably at first but your body eventually adapts to it and you manage to jog like you used to without the weights. So it's normal that you see a difference when you take the weights off-- in this case, when you use the tool directly on the medium, rather than through the intermediate of a tablet. Adversely, jogging without weights on will not make you better at jogging with weights on.

But jogging with weights on will damage your knees and elbows and stuff

If I am mistaken, I'll blame Lois ...

Happy B-day Nae!

I've been using a tablet for 3 years now, and I'll always be drawn to the rough quality that the pencil provides. The uncertainty and weight of line gives the drawing more life I guess. And I like being able to rotate my drawing to get certain strokes down better. I've always had that pet peeve with tablet that I end up re-drawing the same stroke 10 times before I'm satisfied.

Oh, and hi. :D
