This is the only kind of drawing tablet I own. It's Wacom Intuos3, Medium size and I received this for my birthday gift five years ago and I have been using it ever since.
Back when I was a lot younger the only drawing surface I had access to was a piece of paper and traditional writing utensils such as pencils and pens. Of course, hundreds of sheets of papers were grinded to bring my visual fantasies about, with many completely forgettable creations as a result of my puny human brain.
Fast forward several years when my puny human brain evolved into less-puny human brain and my stick figures developed into slightly plausible human figure, I came across a drawing tutorial that made a mention of "Wacom Tablet." Curiously, I looked the unfamiliar term on the almighty Google in order to enhance my knowledge on this "Wacom Tablet."
Then a whole new world opened up to me. This mythical tool allowed the wielder to create art unlike any other. It felt like magic. I wanted it. My very soul craved for a taste of its magic as I anxiously chowed down on a bowl of instant noodles I had in my hand as I continued my research. One tablet to rule them all.
Again, fast forward few more years in 2005. I receive the fabled tool during late summer. I hook it up, open up Notepad, close Notepad, open up Paint, and began my reign of pure, unadulterated terror as I annihilated the blankness of canvas in favor of whatever the heck I was drawing back then. All I remember was that it was one of the third greatest moments of my life.
Wearing my first fancy hat has nothing compared to this.
