To answer that questoin Bats. I think Bio told me it's the ] and [ keys.

Also, mr Bio's buggin me to post about tablets here since I just got a new one for my birfday.

This was the previous one I had. It is a 4x5 Wacom Graphire2.



This is the new one I just got. It's a 6x11 Wacom Intuos3.



Price wise, I got the graphire for xmas from a friend. He paid 35 dollars for it on ebay. My stepdad got me the Intuos for my birthday and he paid 358 dollars total. For those of you curious, I also saw some wacom tablets at my local best buy for around 75 dollars.

Beyond that, after playing with the Intuos for a couple minutes, I can already see differences. Mostly dealing with sensitivity. The Intuos makes the Graphire feel like drawing with a brick, to me at least.

As for use, one of the earlier posts I made about youtube photoshop drawing has a tutorial on setting your pen up to act the same as a pencil.

So there ya go. Have a ball.
