go and use it instead of making threads like this. play with whatever area you are comfortable with also.

play until you realise you've stopped being part of the mouse masterrace

actual advice can be found in the first word of the post

ALWAYS use a bigger area for your tablet. The bigger the better, many pro's using full tablet area. It gives more control and accuracy but requires a bit more effort.

Also, hover, never touch.

sometimes you inadvertently touch, especially in the beginning of using one, dont worry about it. it's better to do that than hold it too high and lose tracking.

That's only your opinion, I play with a relativity small area and find it much easier than a full area.

This is horrible advice.

Use the area you're most comfortable with, whether it's big or small. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, just use whatever you're good with.

OT, just play around with it and you'll get used to it.

And learn to use the search function on forums.

the best advice is to start drawing. Really, that is the point of the graphics tablet. After that you will get used to the tablet and will be able to play with it.

stop playing, start drawing :D

Why does that even matter?

How long does it take for people to understand that getting the same hardware and settings as the top players won't make you good. Years of continuous playing is the only way.
