Cave Ruins

Well, my old pen tablet doesn't work the same on my new computer. It didn't work at all after the initial installation, so I performed an update for Windows 7 and downloaded the latest driver from my tablet's website. Then it worked, but was laggy. Plus, if I held the pen down on the tablet for more than a split second it would bring up a right-click menu. I don't even know why that would be an option unless you're using the pen as a mouse. (There's a specific button on the pen for right-clicking, which I rarely use.) So I fiddled with every option I could and got rid of that annoying feature, and also the lag. Not sure how I accomplished the latter. Now it's pretty good, except there's no pressure sensitivity (grrr!) but I can live with that. It just means every line will be of uniform thickness. If I were a super amazing artist working in an expensive program, it would be a major deal breaker. Also, in Photoshop when I draw quick, short lines it sometimes adds a connecting line in between them. No idea why, and I'm tired of reading forums. I shall draw slower and spam the undo command. The fingers of my right hand stay on ctrl+z the entire time anyway. ;)
