I bought a Wacom tablet today (tax free!) and played around a bit. blue and green is a drawing on top of a 50% gradient photo, purple is a sketch. This thing is cool. :naughty: I don't like "green" as much as the other two, but i think it's because I had a crappy picture to start with and all the midtones killed the contrast. Just thought I'd share.
Oh yeah!! I completely forgot about the tax-free holiday on office and school goods. The contrast in the first base image is a lot better for sure. I'm sure the tablet's got to be better than meese for graphics work. Hehe.. I'll trade you an early 1980's Koala pad for it!!! (loved that thing as a kid)
