>>5996759just wrong, i spent 5+ years drawing on a screenless, lots of pain and suffering on my wrist/arm. spent a month drawing on a screen, got the hang of it quick. but here are the main reasons u want to avoid a screenless tablet if u plan on doing art for a really long time.
screenless tablets are bad for your wrist, it takes far more effort to get a line done right. it's even worse if you don't use stabilizer. these repeated motions will fuck up your wrist, you will have stabbing pains on your palm and wrist, even if you hold your pen gently.
the reason its harder to get a line just right is because you cant see your pen. most screenless fags like that though, and they will complain that seeing their pen is annoying. when in fact it helps with control of your pen because you can see where its going(and parallax helps with positioning).
apart from that, you will trade in slouching for hunching, the difference is, you are more inclined to move and change posture if you're hunching.
i have stopped using screenless tablets last month and im never going back to it.
