hey tinman, you might want to look into this as well: Any drawing you do wtih a blue pencil will always look twice as good as if you did it with a normal pencil.
Well, here is my fist attempt at sketching on the PC. The mouse is a poor substitute for a pencil I have just moved country so I have to buy a new sketch pad and pencils.... UPDATE Now its turned into something I am really happy with, better than pencils even (well for me at least). again
Hey Sandbag, what kind of tablet are you using? I'm trying my pencil settings with a graphire4 and it's pretty crap. I can only get it to look right with my intuos3.. and anyway those settings are a hack. Oh well. You could try the free version of ArtRage2 if you wanna do pencils.
