I was considering getting a cintiq, but usually when I draw stuff I haven't had much trouble just actually drawing on the screen with the normal tablet, I have the graphire4 joint...it works pretty good, I think there is a learning curve with anything, you just have to get used to it and realize how it works and then your good to go, only problem I have is getting my lines real clean I usually have to go back & do alot of touching up
