And on final bit of advice...

If you decide to get a stylus for an ipad/android, be careful of the cheap ones on ebay/amazon. You need to make sure it has 'palm suppression' - so that resting your hand on the tablet doesn't effect it.

Also, to make the most of it, you'll need to have something that is pressure sensitive - otherwise you can't differentiate between faint and heavy lines etc. Some are properly pressure sensitive, some rely on the angle of the stylus to impersonate pressure (and some don't have any sensitivity at all).

        That sounds like definite option to look at then (NCFC) - yarmouthyellow, Jan 20, 11:51:13
        
        Issue is without a screen the accuracy is only slightly better than a mouse (NCFC) - KetteringRyu, Jan 20, 11:31:59
        
        Does take quite a while to get use to them. But once you do it can feel pretty natural. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Jan 20, 11:35:27
        
        I suppose with more time it might be easier. I thought 2-3 months (NCFC) - KetteringRyu, Jan 20, 11:48:37
        
        Yes you should definitely be able to master it within 2-3 months. (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Jan 20, 11:55:49
        
        That makes sense. (NCFC) - yarmouthyellow, Jan 20, 11:35:02
