For Painter/Painter-derived softwares (e.g. Pixia, Artweaver), the pressure sensitivity comes in really handy - everything works out nicely and the nibs really do make a difference. In contrast, using Intuos on Photoshop is not my favorite choice - the hardware's too sensitive for Photoshop and the lines get way too jittery. One could always reduce jitters by making a huge canvas and drawing on a zoomed-out surface, but my computer couldn't handle such workload.

I'd suggest using Artweaver first, and if you like digital painting, buy Corel Painter.

Oh yeah, and using a tablet helps out on 3D modeling softwares a bunch (e.g. Maya, Blender).

Hm, didn't think it'd be jittery on Photoshop. Have you used Sai before?

I prefer using the freeware OpenCanvas version than using SAI (which I'll have to pirate.) If at all possible, I try not to pirate software. It leaves me a feeling of guilt when I use pirated software for commercial purposes...

It's not pirating when you're on the free trial

And cleaning your registry, then reinstalling the software again!

Then "accidentally" get caught in an infinite loop of doing this! >_>
