Well I used the wacom cintiq thus far, and I have to admit that I am really loving it! I really feel I can accomplish more and grow more with this tool than the tablets. The tablets are fun and maybe cheaper but this tablet is very handy indeed! The fish one is my 2nd illustration done, whereas the person was my first.
I hope to learn more and be productive!

Also I think I should probably sketch out the final illustration maybe next time.
