2 things, important! (to me..)

right, a few things...

1. someone describe / show me what a digital graphics tablet is, if its what i think it is then i want one, (where from...) as i feel i do my best work by hand, info plz?

2. might seem a bit weird, but when i was in america in february, and whilst in either the MoMa or the Met i saw a small leather bound sketchbook in one of the shops, it was proper old leather with a leather tie strap, inside was the best paper ever, really old like papyrus, good texture, imagine what leonardo da vinci would of done sketches in, can anyone help me? if you know what i'm talking about then maybe can sort out sending money etc, or if you know of somewhere online... anyway

thanks in advance for replies if there is any, some info i need :D cheers

1) A digital graphics tablet is a thing about the size of a mouse pad. You have a pen and you can move the pen across the tablet and it will move the mouse, or in Photoshop it can draw. Photoshop automatically adjusts to the pressure you put on the tablet, more pressure equals more darker. Most people use tablets for airbrushing or paintbrush in Photoshop. I myself use a Wacom ArtPad II. It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

2) Sorry, I just spent my week's allowance on my Porsche of the Month! :D

Wacom-very popular

nice sig...?
thx anyhoo :D

what do you mean by "the MoMa or the Met"

alpha you have a porsche?
I own a 87 944

2) Probably just regular drawing paper?

No, it was a joke, silly! :D

museum of modern art
metropolitan museum of art

and i know what drawing paper is like, as i'm doing art at college here in england, this was reaaalllly textured, yellowing paper, i was so close to buying the pad, wish i had now, been looking for it online ever since :((

I can stop by on the way home and check out the museum stores.
