The other day my fam-ends and I hung out. Ate, went shopping. East Tennessee has stores called Karm. This is what I found on-line about Karm. From KARM Stores; “KARM Stores is East Tennessee’s most popular thrift store, where every donation and purchase makes a real difference.

We support Knox Area Rescue Ministries with 100% of our profits, helping to break the cycle of homelessness in our community. Your support funds vital, life-changing programs that empower individuals to achieve sustainable living and experience a restored life in Christ.”
While shopping, I saw this thing but passed over it. Some electronic thing in a box. However, my bestie pulled it to my attention. It was an XP-Pen Deco 01 drawing tablet. When I decided, yeah I’ll get it. The check out line exploded and I almost didn’t buy it. My fam-ends were willing to wait, so I got it.
After getting it home, I discovered there were some things missing but nothing that would stop the end user (me) from using it. As I get more comfortable with it, I might order those missing items.
Right off the bat, I did have to purchase an adapter. However, I will use this adapter for more than the tablet.
Because I’m not ready to spend more money on this, I downloaded Krita. After I got everything synced, this is my attempt at drawing my initials.
I’m not going to be rocking digital art anytime soon.
Now I get to learn more thing.
Thanks bestie. 💕

Another freeware for Windows, Mac and Linux you might want to try is GIMP. It’s designed more as a Photoshop replacement, but some people prefer it. Good luck!

I forget. There was some reason I couldn’t download it.

Huh. Well have fun with your current setup. It never quite got the hand-eye coordination to work using a tablet and a second screen. I need to see what I am drawing relative to my hand position 😂

It could also have been user error. 🤭 not gonna discount that’s. Thanks. Yeah, that interesting. I kept saying to the line, “stop! I don’t want you to go that way.” 😂

Right! I know what you mean. Still, I’m glad to have it and I might turn it into a handwriting-to-text tool at some point (I found paid notetaking software for my iPad that does a fair job of deciphering my scrawl and they have a Windows-flavored bit of software that does the same).

Wow! I have never even heard of such a thing. Wonderful- maybe you can draw some illustrations for your writings.

That would be great. However, it’s a long way off.
