However... I have come to wonder if I need a Tablet. Those things are expensive, and none of my friends has one (friends in the same city as I am, though), so I've not been able to see the tablet at work or how people use it, or what specific advantages it has over freehand inking. When I am REALLY willing to spend hours inking, I resort to French Curves, rulers and stencils to guide the pen while inking. I am an Architect, and I learned how to use these in University, but as a foreign student (Graduate school), I do not have all my equipment here. I don't even have a drawing table e.e;. So I thought, maybe a tablet would work for me! But the work surface seems to be like... tiny .___.; unless you trade an eye for A4 work surface, and I need both my eyes.

@.@; I don't even have precision ink pens here. All I have are felt-pens (Copic and Staedler) but they do nicely. I love working by hand; it's more human or so to speak, despite I do color on Photoshop. However, I can only do so because I learned how to color by hand (mainly, pencils, watercolor, ink, acrylic - oil paint gives me nausea). So I imitate Life with Photoshop tools. I am though... intrigued by drawing tablets. Are they really worth paying an eye for them, and would I get a difference from hand-made drawings by using a tablet? I wish I could know .__.;.
