# Do you trace on the tablet
and do you use the tablet to represent the screen or as a base (i.e, if you move your stylus halfway across the tablet and then back to the side and half way across again does it flick back to the side or add the second motion on)

I use the tablet to represent the screen and never use the tablet for tracing and I actually prefer to spend my money on smaller ones. For the same money a smaller one will respond much better. With larger tablets you're paying a lot for size and I don't feel the gain.

I like your image, btw.

# also, you need a bigger desk,
and a good desk doesn't come cheap, also requires more time spent on maintaining it.
these are things that are often overlooked.

# i knew it
no one ever thinks of this.
i have a little flip top school desk, and i had to get a new sawn-off keyboard, a rubber, tea proof, no numbers one, which incidentally is crap, because with tea, ashtray and other assorted crap, i had no room to move.

I'm mucking about with drawing stuff in Illustrator so I do find I'm doing quite long movements. Although it's hard to gauge as I'm not thinking about my hand movement as I do it.

# That makes sense and it is down to personal preference,
but I tried several and I bought a smaller tablet because I found it to be more useful.
