I did Bang Barstal on an Intuos 3. It&#39;s a fine way to work, but eventually I grew to miss the smell of ink in the morning.<br /><br />The only problem I had with doing the art 100% digitally is that zooming out isn&#39;t nearly the same as leaning back and looking at the paper from a distance. I wish I could explain how that is easily...

Yeah, the nib wear really is crazy. The textured surface is nice, but I think I&#39;m far too used to the plastic surface anyway, and I&#39;d rather not be going through a pack of nibs a month. Expensive!<br /><br />I think a transparency slide should do the trick nicely, I have mine taped to the tablet on one side so I can still flip it out of the way if I need to. As a bonus it seems to be

Wow... definitely not kidding about the wear on the nib. I&#39;m seeing it on mine too! <br /><br />I haven&#39;t really experimented with the brush nib (I think that&#39;s the black on with white tip), but I think I will try inking with it next time.<br /><br />I find I really like the roughness of the surface for preliminary sketches with the pencil tool, but when I want to ink I like the

Extremely relevant post for me, since I also just upgraded from an A6 Graphire2 to a Medium Intuos4, and am looooving it.<br /><br />On the hardiness front, an important thing I thought I should mention is that due to the new slightly more textured surface I&#39;ve found that nib wear is happening far more quickly than before. I began to see wear after less than a day of use, which was a bit
