My tablet is here...

[Mr.Reak]

And here begins long process of learning how to use it. Any good online places?

Well, the thing is with the tablet is that it accomodates to the way you draw. Holding it at a different angle or different pressure will differentiate the flow of the brush.

So all in all the tablet learns you, you don't learn the tablet.

If you haven't already, the first thing I suggest you do is customize the sensitivity to your personal liking..

Problem is, kind of hard to draw right now, pan jumps all over the place, need some practice I guess.

It needs a little time to get used to.. but its almost the same as drawing on paper.. only now you look at your monitor.

That’s true, right now I won’t even try to sketch, but only try to color/paint. I still am getting used to Corel Painter 8 different brushes, to get the oil feel like in any painting. Pretty hard actually, plus I don’t have a lot of training with oil-paintings in real life either.

I'm thinking of getting a tablet for my birthday.. any ideas?

who! your tablet has legs?!?11?!1

Seriously though, unlike a pen, you have to get used to keeping the pen at a reasonable distance to the tablet so it can detect it. It doesn't take long, but thats the part I found most annoying.
