I have an Intuos4 tablet, and i am just starting to use it finally. Never used a tablet before, and curious if anyone has some tips or a site they'd recommend to get accustomed to it? Im going to be illustrating a booklet Im doing for class, ~10 spreads.

Thanks

Are you familiar with a pencil and paper? Because that's basically what it is.

If you are good with traditional pencil and paper, you are good with a tablet.

There are so many brush settings in photoshop alone that in order to gain good and clean results you should really go trough some tutorials.

Such as these:

http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=tablet+tutorial#/dgu3ro

DevianArt in general is good place to search for art related tutorials.

Thanks DumboDii, Ill check those links out.

And I was looking for what Dumbo posted or possibly shortcuts and such that would make my life easier while using the tablet to work. I am familiar with pencil and paper, and I get how to draw. I just was seeing if anyone possibly had some beginner shortcuts that would make things quicker for me.

my settings.
I have the small so I only have 6 express keys.
size really doesn't matter that much anyways. Pressure levels and starting pressure are what matters and the intuos4 is amazing.
