Cleaning my Room and My Own Drawing Place!

I cleaned my writing desk in my room...and I finally made it into my own drawing ''corner'' office=D
I did know that the shelf had enough space for turning it into a drawing desk, but I didn't really wanted to bother with it because it usually ends up getting filled with papers, books and clothes, etc...(yes, I'm that kind of person, throwing all sorts of things on my desk, to lazy to put it properly away-.-) The other reason is because my dad's old stereo player occupied half of the desk. I thought that he didn't wanted to throw it away.He brought it all the way from Japan! But I guess I was wrong, because he said it was ok to get rid of it...


So now I have my own, private space for my creativity and school works^^ Hopefully, I will try to keep it neat>.< Here's how it looks like:
The only thing that seems lacking is a desk light, although I get most of the light from the sun coming from the window! I also want to hang up the clips that I bought from China-.- but I don't think mum will allow me to nail the wall...

Wacom Intuos 4 wireless w/ Lightroom 3!

I finally got my tablet yesterday after much waiting! I waited for almost 3 weeks for the tablet-.-
The tablet is much bigger than my Bamboo fun-tablet but it doesn't matter^^ 




I tested it out yesterday and at first I was disappointed because the pressure sensitivity didn't work with Paint Tool SAI=( After trying to solve it by erasing the tablet preference files and yet it didn't work, I almost considered returning the tablet because I bought it primarily for use with SAI, my favourite painting software...Fortunately, I managed to fix the pressure sensitivity issue in the end=D I was so happy^^
The pressure sensitivity works nicely with SAI now^^ 


Maybe I'll make a short review later...

New Inspirational Art book and scrapbook stuff

After a busy week I went shopping with my sister yesterday^^
I bought mostly ''art'' related things>.< Can't never get enough art tools, right;) Some pics and description of what I bought:


I bought some glue and pattern scissors because I need them for scrapbooking. It's time to put those photoes onto my scrap book, after abandoning the book for almost 1 year o.O 
I'm not good with those things, because I feel it takes time and concentration to make a good scrapbook..gluing those pictures actually takes time!  
And as you may see in the image, I also bought another black pen:P But it's a brush pen! I was surprised when I found it, and bought it because I wanted to try it out. Going to write a short review about it later:)


And I finally got the the book that I ordered one week ago: An Illustrated Life
I love inspiring artbooks, and I have heard good reviews about this book so I'm excited to begin reading it^^ (Yes, shame on me, I haven't read it yet, just looked quickly through-.-)


Do you have any favourite, inspiring artbooks=)?

Broken Wacom Bamboo Pen?!

Bad news=( I think my Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet/pen isn't working anymore. I wanted to draw some of my drawings in SAI today, and guess what, the pen just wouldn't cooperate>.< Instead it marked other elements that I had on my desktop o.O But when I set the pen to mouse mode, it worked fine.
Guess I have to buy a new one=(

For now, I'm considering one of these two:

The bamboo fun pen and touch
Pros:
- It's cheap.
- I don't draw much digitally because it sometimes takes too much time, and then this migh be an ok tablet to use for a hobbyist as me.

Cons:
- The quality of the product?
 To be honest, I was quite disappointed at my Bamboo Fun tablet because it had problems such as driver problems, pen don't respond, breaks easily if dropped, etc.

Wacom Intuous 4 Wireless medium or Large
Pros:
- A more better tablet than the Bamboo series?
- Includes Lightroom 3 =)
- Wireless
- Better pressure sensitivity

Cons:
- More expensive than Bamboo
 Well, I don't mind the price much as long it functions as it should! If we are talking about driver problems and all that, then I may serious reconsider...but for now I'm holding a hand on this tablet..keke..more because I'm tempted to get the Lightroom 3 =P
- The colour, I want a white tablet like my Bamboo Fun...
