have been doing a fair amount of vector drawing the last year and now i have my beefy new pc I've been doing some blender 3d tutorials so I can learn 3d modelling to make rendered art and also design stuff to print on my 3d printer but drawing with the mouse is a pain as i'm a lefty when i use a pen but i use a mouse with my right. stumbled into some cash this week thanks to an unexpected late-christmas bonus so I've picked up a 24" xp-pen display tablet which arrives sometime today.
rearranged my desk last night to make room for it so should be ready to plug in out of the box and go.
annoyingly while researching before the money came in I found it with a double discount on amazon that would have saved me an extra £100 as they'd knocked nearly £200 off the usual price and also had a voucher for £100 to apply but it expired about an hour after I saw it. I emailed their customer support to beg to get the voucher as well when buying but I had managed to stumble onto it at the overlap of the two promotions and it wasn't intended to be sold that cheap.
other option was buy for £190 less than I just paid on their store on aliexpress and have it shipped from france in about 3 weeks but for a few obvious reasons I didn't think that would end up being the money saving deal it appeared to be by the time I had it in hand.
still I'm am very excited. feels like christmas all over again.
