Question

When drawing do you guys use a touchpad to draw or do you use your mouse??

i need to know asap

Answer 1

I use a mouse and use photoshop frequently but I know photoshop users who say that once you use a graphics tablet they would never go back to a mouse

Answer 2

For freehand drawing, I use a digital graphics tablet and stylus about 90% of the time. Sometimes, a sketch out a rough, or, even finished ink drawing on paper and then, scan it into my computer to color and finish.

For images that may need to be scaled larger, I use Adobe Illustrator's vector drawing tools.

Drawing with a mouse is slow and cumbersome. Many artists describe it as "drawing with a brick." Very few, if any, pros draw with a mouse. The investment in a drawing tablet pays for itself in a very short time in time savings, alone!

I doubt ANYONE really uses a touch pad to draw, especially at a professional level.

Answer 3

A mouse, but only because I started out before graphics tablets were invented! A tablet is a better option really, you have far more control and it takes years to get really accurate with a mouse.

Answer 4

Mouse

Answer 5

i did illustration at Uni and used a mouse along with most other people, a friend of mine used one of those touchpad things

Answer 6

Wacom Pad or bust !

I'm a Wacom fan myself. Started with the small one and just love the pen. I only use a mouse if I have to.

Answer 7

buy yourself a touch graphics tablet. most electronic shops ell them. the bigger the better also look at the dpi etc...

mine was £24.99 a4 size from aldi :) don't know if they still have them, mouse is good but your more at home with a graphics tablet feels like pen and paper!

:D hope this helps

Answer 8

I used a touchpad simply because it gives you more freedom to work.
