I'm a Chilean illustration student who likes to draw anime and cute things.

I've been around for a while and I'm trying to improve one little step at a time while doing things I enjoy.
I'll be really happy if you could comment on my my drawings and leave me some feedback on what you like and what you think I should improve :3 (tips on how to improve are always welcome as well!)

If you want to know more about me, want to look at some of my old art and some other stuff that's not posted here, please visit my website ^^

Advice on tablet or...?

Thu Nov 19, 2009, 7:17 AM
I'll probably buy the Intuos4 medium at the end of this month. Thanks for all the feedback :3

I want to make a little investment, but I still don't know what I should do >>;
I'm counting with $360 at the end of this month and $250 at the end of the next.
After that... my future is uncertain, lol. Maybe I could do commissions or something else to get extra money, but i seriously have no idea. I need to look for a job...

So if you could help me decide what to do, it'd be great! :D

Choice One: Buy an Intuos4 small (USD$340 here)
I have a cheap 6x8" Genius tablet, and it's certainly more comfortable than my old small Genius one I used for 3 years. However, when I was in Uruguay I was lent a Wacom Bamboo small and I was extremely comfortable with it. I must say I normally work very small on paper.
This is the cheapest choice. I would only have to spend this month's salary and I'll be able to spend anything I earn after this 30th on whatever I want (like those lovely $80 zumreed lime green headphones I want to buy badly...)

Choice Two: Buy an Intuos4 medium (USD$540 here)
More comfortable than small one, but more expensive >>;
This would mean this month's money and the money I'll get from game artwork.
Anything I get starting from January I'll be able to use it on whatever I want... though I'd have to wait until the end of December to buy it ): I'm in no rush, though.

Choice Three: Save and buy a cheap laptop (around USD$700)
I get bored when I come to Suppi's place and he's on the computer and I'm just lying there doing nothing... Well, he got a PSP the other day, so now I can snatch it >D
Anyway, the idea is to get a low-specs laptop so I can watch anime, browse internet and draw in SAI (I mostly draw on SAI now and just tweak stuff with Photoshop).
This would mean this month's payment, game artwork and a little more money I could get from things I do on January. If I buy the small Intuos4, maybe I could buy a small laptop later and carry the two things around with me :D Though I'm concerned since it'd be a low-specs laptop, it'll get obsolete and useless fast when I want to do other things...? Maybe I should just wait until I have a decent income and just get a MacBook D:


So what should I do?
Any feedback/advice helps!

Thank you :3
