Hey guys, I bought myself a wacom tab a few weeks ago and I'm loving it's functionality. It's great and really easy to use with plenty of easily accessible customisation options that make life easy for my doodling. The problem with it is that I'm finding it really hard to enjoy actually drawing with it. I've looked up a few videos that show you how to custom map functions and figured out how to portion off sections so I'm not zooming all around the tablet all the time, like a mouse.

The problem is, anytime I go to start drawing something, it doesn't (and this is going to sound silly, because it's not) feel like pen and paper. I draw coastlines and they feel robotic. I'm used to using a 0.05 Micron pen and on paper, I love making detailed coastlines that crumble in and out and turn into bays and headlands. I just find on Photoshop that any coastline I try to draw looks clinical. Like I'm trying to make it look organic and natural, but either the program, the tablet or my hand isn't working properly and I'm coming out with something that has far too many straight looking edges and doesn't have the 'natural' look I manage to get with paper and pen.

So the question is, have you guys experienced this? What did you do to get over it? Did you get over it? Or do some people just end up not enjoying drawing with a tablet and use PS for things like painting and shading? If I'm honest, if I can't get the right feel for drawing a coastline, I've no idea how I'm gonna draw single trees and tiny details.

For the sake of accuracy, I'm using Photoshop CS6 with a Wacom Intuos tablet on Windows 8.
