Just trying to get to grips with my graphics tablet...
Trouble is, I'm used to sketching on paper, and I tend to rotate the paper around so that I get a good angle for each pen stroke - how do you do that with a tablet? It's a bit cumbersome to rotate....
You learn eventually which direction to the strokes in. Takes time mind. Also, a rough plan helps even more with a tablet than on paper.

this my friend
is why you want corel painter. It is the artists dream, you can rotate the canvas just like you would paper so your tablet remains as is but you can have your strokes going in the direction you want. Corel Painter X is the single best graphics package I ever bought. And I bought most of them.
That's cracking btw. You inking it or are you done at that?

that it's as close to traditional art work as can be. I love it. You can produce stunning oils and watercolours ( well you can, I just make reasonable ones ;)) with it, it's a million miles from photoshop but worth the effort.

do it on paper,
then put the paper on the tablet and trace over the lines :)

I had that problem. I started spinning my tablet on my lap, but because my screen was still in the same place it completely screwed my brain. I've just developed a new sketchy-er style that doesnt require rotating the canvas :¬)
