Better freehand drawing of straight lines, ellipsis and circles with wacom tablet
I can draw straight lines and ellipsis quite well on paper. When I got my wacom tablet I practiced a lot but could never get straight lines and good ellipsis using the wacom tablet.
Until one day a light-bulb went of… That plastic surface on the tablet that you rest your palm on is not paper. Paper is nice and slippery and absorbs the moisture from your hands. When your hands get just a little bit sweaty the plastic surface on the tablet will cause increased and random friction and that is what messes up your nice precise lines ellipsis and circles so they look all wrinkly and horrible.
Go out and buy a stack of those thin cotton gloves for ladies, silk is even better if you can afford them. Cut of the fingers and never mind looking like MJ hehe. You can try out the difference right now by getting a piece of paper and resting your palm on it, then slide around on the tablet surface. It will be quite easy to feel the difference.
Now your palm will slide with no friction on the tablet plastic and you can draw straight lines WAY better. For me it was like night and day so try it out.
