I once bought my little sister a WACOM tablet for her birthday. Unlike me, she knew very well that she wanted to go into graphic design (she’s studying computational media at Georgia Tech), so I figured this would make a great present. Now that she has her school’s fabulous facilities, I was allowed to snag this baby back for myself.

Above is a quick doodle I whipped up to learn a little more of its capabilities. I drew it in Photoshop, from a photograph. I do realize the details toward the bottom of the painting could be much better, but by the time I got down there I just couldn’t care anymore. But a WACOM tablet is indeed a toy every art-inclined person should have (now only if they weren’t so darn expensive).
