Just changed my @wacom pen nib after years of using it. Maybe the change will help my drawing. Aaand I forgot I had these… pic.twitter.com/Gi8LVJlJhz

Just in case you didn’t know, the nib is that thing at the end of the pen which you use to draw or write.
Oh boy, I immediately noticed the difference! Everything’s so smooooth… too smooth now actually since I’ve gotten used to the old nib (I’ll get over it). And I don’t know why, but drawing is now more fun, quicker, and accurate. Huge time saver definitely; looking back, I had to redraw a lot (draw a line, erase/undo, draw line again until I get it right, etc.) because the sharper point of the older Wacom pen nib makes my strokes a little wobbly. Now I don’t have to do that often anymore!
I kinda feel stupid that it took all this time. I mean, obviously, if your pencil’s starting to become too short to be useful it’s time to replace it, but whatever! I’ll certainly stock up on the nibs (some Amazon links below) and change them from now on whenever it becomes too dull, and you should too! I think a year or so is a good time to replace it.
Now, if I can only do something about Adobe Flash’s long saving times then everything would be peachy. I save often cause it crashes often. Hmm, perhaps getting an SSD will help but those things are kind of expensive. Of course, there’s a way to help out with that wiiiink.
Finally, here’s a quick guide to purchasing nibs and some links to Amazon if you want to shop for them. Always remember to check first if they’re compatible with your drawing tablet before buying! And I’m an Amazon associate, so if you buy any stuff through these links, I’ll also earn money without any additional cost to you, so thank you!
A lot of hobbies can be done for free, but does that include making webcomics? Excluding expenses like electricity and internet access, I’d say the bare minimum is a computer, but of course, even that can be free in a way. For most people, here’s what you can expect to spend on if you’re planning to start a webcomic. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
