I was meaning to ask about that, is it expected that we do extra art? Because I don't know if I will find time to do it. I mean obviously it would be great but I hope it isn't a requirement.

Hmm, mine is an Intuos A5, but I's used a Bamboo, too. It did feel a bit different to me, it's hard to describe in what way, somehow like the surface of the tablet was different and that made for a different feel while drawing. Probably drawing digitally is just not everyone, idk. Ive gone over almost entirely to drawing with my tablet, I only draw with pen and pencil when I'm sketching.

Wacoms are expensive but to be fair they are pretty awesome :D
