I bought a drawing tablet no screen

[peak tangle]

I just bought the xp pen tablet xs i have no idea how to use it properly and im asking for tips how to use this thing

[winged fiber]

It’s a huge trial and error thing, the only tip I have is to use it consistently. That way you’ll get used to it quicker

It’s much easier than you think

What are you having trouble with specifically?

Do you mean like setting it up or just using it in general.

Also what software are you using with it to draw?

[peak tangle]

No problem with set up but in general use is hard there's a button on the pen idk for and it's hard to understand how to draw (ive only used screens before)

I use krita btw

[clear tundra]

Those buttons are shortcuts can be customized .for example the erase brush and pen brush .To change it normally its in the tablet software

I personally turned off because I keep pressing them on accident

Does it feel weird to draw and make lines ?

You can tape some printer paper on top and draw to make it have some friction

[dapper blaze]

The button is for quickly switching tools for a second. Like say you want to switch tools eyedropper of eraser for a second. You click on that button and it switches

[peak tangle]

Yeah not the friction part but the position of holding the brush

[clear tundra]

oh I usually hold it like you would hold a regular pen or pencil If you do plan to use the side buttons then you hold it at an angle where your thumb can press them

uh... is that what you mean ? I hope that made sense

[dapper blaze]

I push the buttons with my pointing finger
