I said something halfway intelligent and useful the other day and thought I might repeat it here in case it could be useful to someone else. My sister remarked that she had big difficulties in drawing with a Wacom tablet.

So I said that one thing that helps me is resizing as I draw. There's a certain gestural size where I can most naturally craft a straight line, or a circle, or a letter, and I adjust the size of the picture to take maximum advantage of that.

Of course, another thing that helps a lot is being able to isolate (by putting a new addition to the drawing onto a different layer and only merging when it's where I want) and to go back and do things over.

Hope this helps somebody.
