Thanks guys for noticing the flat-ness 0: I wasn't thinking about that, since I was mainly focused on style. My hair has like no highlights LOL..... Will have to remember dimension

@ Talon - I dont think its necessarily finding the best area to draw on, although I mainly use middle/top middle. One of the hardest parts about using a tablet vs. using paper is that you don't know where **** is on your tablet at first. Like "I want to detail her eye but its taking me 10-15 entire seconds to position myself there." That takes awhile to adjust to; you really have to get used to the proportions in which your tablet interprets your screen. So, sketch a LOT, on a big canvas so you dont feel as restricted by the borders. Practice is the only way. After you get that, 1) it feels natural 2) your style will adjust way better and may even evolve in the process.

I will note one thing that is different now from when I started... I hardly used zoom because, I mean, it's not like you could do that on paper. But now, I zoom in and zoom out a lot; its both a curse and a gift of digital painting. If you're not already, try getting used to your zoom; it is essential to find comfortable sketching distances.
