: As a new tablet user, how can I bring the quality of my writing on a tablet closer to what it is on physical paper? I recently bought a Wacom Intuos art, I'm absolutely terrible at it,

@Marchetta832

Sometimes the difference in friction can be annoying. I have some students who are more comfortable when they put a piece of paper over the tablet as it recreates the feeling of physical paper without compromising what you are doing with the tablet. Might be worth a shot, along with other posters' answers!

It often takes a week or so to adapt to a tablet and truly be comfortable with it. The disconnect between where you write and where you look takes some adjustment above and beyond mouse use.

Wacom tablets are rarely "buggy", but that's not impossible. Any issues with the tablet are generally due to the driver, not the hardware. Ensure you have the newest driver, which will almost never be the driver you got on a CD, always check the web site ---> WACOM.

Some programs do not sample the movement of the mouse with a high enough frequency. Try using a software that is meant for tablet drawing you can try:


Krita (free)
Autodesk Sketchbook
