kriss Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 How quickly do the points for a Wacom wear down? I just got one today and it's awesome, but it seems like I slightly wore down the point already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the user but you shouldn't have already worn it down. You can get replacement nibs but if you take it out a flip it that usually will work too.

kriss Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 That looks great! Thanks for the tip on the point - I don't think I wore it down, definitely overstated that, I meant to say that it seems I visibly broke it in slightly. Granted, this was in the first half hour of use and after noticing the point, I spent the next several hours pressing much lighter with no problems. Last night, I dug out an old notebook sketch I did and put some color on it for practice. Working on a larger piece I finished last week with color today. I only spent around 45 minutes on it and it was literally my first shot using the Wacom so it's way rough but for a first time attempt, it was easier to acclimate to than I thought. It's definitely not as natural as holding a pen to paper, but I'm quickly getting comfortable with the pen to tablet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
