Well this has convinced me to approach using my tablet MORE... and to treat it as a skill i need to perfect.
Thank you for the reply's... there is SO MUCH to learn on my tech venture that i have a VERY tough time deciding where i need to put my efforts.
I do use mostly 2d projects so far... but have dabbled in trying to put what i "can" on paper into its digital counterpart. It is certainly a unique feel comparatively.
I also feel my knowledge of digital software is part of my issue*.
I use paint.net, Krita, blender, AND gimp... with paint.net my go to simply due to its simplicity. Krita is amazing, but like blender, it feels like such a steep learning curve to make work flow... flow.
@MikeCL you have a pretty interesting resume! i have done a fair bit of drafting (in the trades my entire life), and i find that drafting anything with paper/rulers is far more accurate in the long than the software counterparts, however sincerely slower. it was very rare to find architects who's prints (software) didn't put point loads in between joists (non load bearing points). sure it "works" but to me that was always the difference from building a house vs a home.
