I have some new-to-me art tools...Corel Painter, a small Wacom tablet, and a computer that can handle both. I enjoy doing pixel art with it, or adapting screenshots with it to make animated GIFs, but I just can't color with it. I am more comfortable with a piece of paper and physical tools -- colored pencils, paints, feltpens, even crayons -- I want to use the Wacom but the tablet is just too slow!

Does anyone else have Wacom color woes?

Yeah, and using a paintbrush tool.

You just have to use the color pallet, and you can increase the colors bit by bit, and then shade using the thinggummerdoddad, know what I'm saying? XD

It all turns out rather kickbutt, actually! It takes me just as long to color something in GIMP, so I don't see the point of it XD

:random slave-boy done for my friend, don't judge me XD:. colored on Paint

Yes, you do an excellent job with the limited tool that is MSPaint. Amazing, how a thing essentially unchanged for 20+ years can have evolution of its users, and not of it.

The....thingummerdoodad? Vhat you mean?

Sometimes it is better to paint pixel by pixel it depends on the look the artist is going for.......

xd don't tell me you don't liiiikke it.

Yeah, no kidding. I've done more recent works on paint, but whatever. The point is, that's how it turned out.

The thingamagummerdoodad or whatever I called it would be the paint brush tool thing, and then use the color pallete to chose acurate shades.

pixel by pixel = one dot by one dot. Doing a decent-sized pic that way would take ages and more.

hmm.. I havent used Coral but I hear its an okay program.

I use a wacom tablet as well, and it isnt slow. o.O It's only ever slow if the computer itself is slow. XD

Wacom does pretty decent though. At least for me. Coloring example with it:

But for the most part (was for me anyway) coloring with the computer can seem awkward at first. But after a while you get used to it, and can come up with great results.
