Tablet PC vs Cintiq

[Ubar_303]

I recently bought a Tablet pc. I was wondering if any of you out there have tried drawing on Tablet PCs and have also tried drawing on Cintiqs and could tell me what the differences were. I enjoy my tablet PC, although it is a little hard on the eyes and sketching on it takes a bit of getting used to.

I have a Toshiba Techra M4 and it's awesome at drawing if you use a sketchbok pro 2.0 software, it's a great alternative to the cintiq i think ,and, the Toshiba runs only $900 now, it was valued at $2000 when it first came out and that was omnly like 2-3 years ago. Since you have a tablet already then i would say to try the sketchbook pro 2.0 trial version just to see how the drawing goes.

sketchbook 2 yeah man! ;-) and lately I have been using a 2d animation software called TVPaint. www.tvpaint.com

I love it because it is a fairly simple program and to the opposite of Photoshop or Painter it doesn't use 100% of my CPU so I can sketch longer.
