Using a paint program to practice Kanji, rather than writing on paper.. just as effective?

Question

Writing on paper , i feel like i waste a lot of paper. I just bought a graphics tablet and stylus, and i can write and pain pretty nicely. Is there any reason why writing on paper would be more effective in practicing kanji , or is it the same?

Joe, you didn't read correctly. I said I got a STYLUS too. i don't use the mouse. A stylus is a pen , yu rub it on the graphics tablet just like you would ono paper and then what you draw goes into the computer screen in your paint program

Answer 1

I think those graphics tablets are pretty awesome and as you said its better than wasting paper, just make sure you save your info and back it up if there is a way................Good Luck

Answer 2

I dunno, you don't waste paper, but you're gonna be writing kanji on paper in real life, so it doesn't really apply that well. Writing with a mouse is much different.

I bought a small erasable white board, but just end up using the Japanese square-paper books anyway.
