Pen Tablet

Journal Entry: Thu May 28, 2009, 3:54 AM


Today I've bought Wacom Intuos4 (smallest size in the lineup). Now, it's not a secret that I am in no way is a painter of any kind, so WTH you may ask.

Well, I am kinda into learning Japanese language and sometimes I spend days to write a lot of texts in Japanese. Quite often, I stumble upon unknown and obscure kaji that I don't know how to read. For that purpose there is a really cool thing in Japanese IMEs - kanji pad, which allows to draw ideographs. But sometimes when the kanji is quite complex, it is extremely hard to draw it with the mouse.

Just an example: I've spent an hour to draw this thing - 军 - with the mouse in IME and failed, but on my iPhone I was able to draw it from the first try. (Note, thought, that it's not that complex, just obscure Chinese character which requires extra careful drawing to be recognized).

So, this should explain why the tablet and size. Why Intuos4 you may ask. Well, because I would answer. Just because my works are ugly and worth nothing doesn't mean that I don't like to paint something once in a while. Also, using Windows 7 with all that touching capabilities built deep into the system, it should be really fun just to use it instead of mouse :p

The only sad thing is that importing this thing isn't cheap (I paid $360 instead of nominal $230), but that's how things are going. Now I can't wait for next Tuesday when it should arrive.

Also, I am trying out CSS customization. Let's hope it'll work out well.

Hi,
Your absolutely right. I deleted him from my deviantwatch, because I realized it after some hours.
