I´ve spent the last few hours getting the "hang" of it - after about 1 hour installing Bluetooth Drivers, Wacom Drivers, and Corel Software.
The pen is quite intuitive, and I managed to get some presentable drawings done pretty quick :)
I produced some test pieces - but wasn´t quite happy with some colours I did, so I´ll post a black & white drawing I did to test the precision of the Wacom Graphire. I was quite happy with the result :) I can identify my free-hand technique much better than with the ones I did previously with the mouse... of course. :)
I do Miniature Wargaming, and for inspiration I had some 15mm Teppô (that´s rifle) Ashigaru (that´s the lowest ranks of Samurai armies in the "Sengoku Jidai Period" - AKA "The Warring States Period" - Circa 1400´s). Follow the links if you´re in to that sort of thing ;).
So it´s a Teppô Ashigaru -but with a twist - I gave him a futuristic sci-fi rifle :D.
The symbols on his banner mark him as a member of the Takeda Clan. Click the picture to get a full-resolution version. Blogspot´s compression blurs it up more than a little.
I can´t begin to say how lucky I am that I am now a proud owner of this pen tablet. I feel like a kid drawing in the math class all over again! :D

now we are in for a show! :)
this piece is, like you said, closer to the pen and paper drawings you used to do. it's a great different when you loose the mouse and start drawing with a pen, right? ;)
Yup - very different. Main difference immediatly being that using the pen is much more spontaneous. Gotta set up a schedule to use it though - yesterday I was testing stuff with the pen till about... till about early today :D
