Some Old Kazinian

Mostly this was a tablet test at work, because I've been dubious about the thing since getting it. Like, there's always been just the faintest, tiniest bit of lag when I click with it. I didn't think it was THIS unresponsive, though. It was insistent that every line be either dead vertical, horizontal, or 45-degree angle. Any attempts at swishy lines were foiled at the pass, which is why her ears are square and her nose is weird and her cheek and chin are square and her freaking EYES are square. It's even more prominent in the sketch:



I mean what even is this. I don't draw square. Even if I was attempting a square, it wouldn't necessarily look all that square.

So it's a good thing I don't have to actually draw things at work all that often, except for a few rough initial sketches of logos and icons that get vectorised, or photo touchups like erasing the background or something. It wouldn't be the tablet itself, because it's the same generation Intuos as I have at home, just a size smaller and without the touch facilities. Potentially the drivers, which are outdated because the version of MacOS I have at work can't handle anything higher, but I can't change that so I'm stuck, I guess.

Definitely something screwy going on with your tablet. Have you seen if it works any better in a different program like Sai? Maybe its not the drivers but the settings in photoshop went a bit screwy?

- Oh wait, its the work drivers. IDK what to say to help :/ It is a strange thing indeed. So square....

It's so weird =/ I think it must be the drivers, but without upgrading the MacOS idk what to do. 'cept just put up with it. Like I say, very rarely do any freeform drawing as part of work so it's not too much of a hindrance, just weird.
