My first drawing tablet

OK, this might not be my *first* graphic tablet ever, but the one I got about 15 years ago can't compare to this one - it didn't have a pen with pressure levels and to be honest, I didn't use it as much as I should have. I mean, I got used to the mouse, because I drew using Bezier curves and not free hand, so I didn't feel comfortable with that tablet. But now let me introduce you to Gaomon M106K with pen pressure sensitivity! 


The working area is 10x6.25 inches wide, and the tablet is 1 cm thick and weights 780 g. It's got 12 express and 16 soft keys and they're all programmable. I'm not sure if I'll ever need that many, but I'm not complaining. In contrast to Wacom and Huion models, the pen is rechargeable (via the cord you get with the tablet), but it lasts 350 hours and it even saves energy (it goes to "sleep" after 10 minutes of inactivity). It's got 2048 levels pressure sensitivity, which should be more than enough for my needs. I still haven't drawn anything worth posting, but you can see some examples of my doodling in the right lower corner - blending colours and experimenting with the pressure sensitivity. All in all, I'm very satisfied with it and can't wait to explore all its possibilities.


After some time I finally started experimenting with it - I mean, trying out some more "serious" things like drawing characters, which is my favourite theme. I wanted to practice and test the pressure sensitivity, so I chose an anime character, because they have more dynamic strokes, such as hair (BTW, in case you don't recognize him, it's Genos from One Punch Man, one of my most favourite anime). Of course, I'm going to finish it, use colours etc., but I decided to show you the work in progress because I'm excited about how it's going to turn out and so far it looks pretty good. 👍
