Yeah I found tablets, even bigish ones really cramped my drawing style. Way better than mouse, but not really satisfactory in any way that encouraged me try to improve with practice. OTOH I found a tablet, even a 4x5" model excelled for using the pen tool in photoshop, and similar bezier drawing and curves manipulation in 3d animation software.

Going to try it in mud box later, and it's great for tracing scans to vectors in inkscape.

I want a Huion GT-190 with IPS screen, so I can do photo manipulation stuff, so don't need it like a pencil so long as it's easier than a mouse to mask and clone and stuff, which I expect it should be.

Wish there was a way to try them out, but maybe if any place does offers this week I'll just go for it.

Surely there must be somewhere in London that has them in Stock and able to demonstrate them?

If there is, they're not behind a search engine. :(

Ah well, just order one from Amazon then and if you don't like it send it back.
