For starters, the tablet is very friendly with Photoshop, which is what I used for the Storyboards. Creating everything digitally from the get go also sped up my process considerably. In the past, if I needed a hand-drawn Board, I would have to draw them by hand, clean up the drawing, then scan it into my computer, and then clean it up digitally. Very tedious.<\/p>\n<p>Being my first drawing tablet, I thought it would take a little time to get used to the sensitivity of digital drawing. However, that did not prove to be the case.<\/p>\n<p>While I don&#8217;t have anything planned at the moment, I hope to use the Gaomon again soon. At the very least, I would like to do some recreational drawing on it. It is relaxing, plus it will help me better familiarize myself with Photoshop&#8217;s brush capabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, after much procrastination, I decided to purchase a drawing tablet &#8211; the Gaomon PD1560.
