Ok so I learned that it isn't discernibly more comfortable to do pixel art with my tablet compared to using the mouse. Tho I was doing a 64x64 sprite (large 4th gen style). It would probably feel a bit more natural if I was doing a 128x128 sprite (5th gen style)
Tho I mean, I still intend to practice non-pixel digital painting with my tablet now that its back in business.
