# About me
Trying to get back into art after a 15 year break. Have had this niggling feeling in back of brain for the last year or so that needs satisfying. Extremely rusty, but getting there slowly. Bought a Wacom Intuos 4, and have started to teach myself, how to use it.Lets see what happens.
UPDATE: Not a lot by the looks of it! Like working on my Galaxy Note 10.1 so swapped the Intuos 4 for a Cintiq 13HD.
Have had this idea for The Vaults of McTavish for a while now.
Check out the new website.

Your gallery is a lot of fun! As for the new tablet make sure it is adjusted to be proportional linked to your monitor. I had my tablet for almost eight years before I learned to double check that setting. So many years made harder than they needed to be. TheΒ font is very cool by the way.

Thanks for the advice, i'll keep an eye on that. What annoys me is that i have to reload the settings every time i turn it on. It's the wireless version so i don't know if that has anything to do with it.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Wacom Bamboo stylus for it so i could work on stuff away from home, and i must admit i really like the idea of working directly on the screen, so i might have to save and get myself a Cintiq.

Back at you. : )
You're welcome. I'll have to look into that when I get some time. I have an old intuos 3 so I don't know if they changed the settings between models.
When grabbing a Cintiq keep in mind what size of paper your most comfortable working with. If you like 8x11.5 or anything really close, the 13" might be the most comfortable way of getting in on the drawing on the screen joy. The fun thing is there are so many options now. You might also be interested in trying out a Yiynova www.amazon.com/Yiynova-DP10U-1β¦ they are supposed to be very good though I haven't gotten to try them.

Thanks for the advice. The DP10U looks good, but is a bit small so i'm now looking into the Yiynova MSP19U+ as an alternative.

A - Z is made up. The numbers are various symbols relating to the Cthulhu Mythos.... apart from the biohazard sign, which i'm thinking looks a bit out of place!
