Advantages of using a graphics tablet to sculpt

A drawing tablet offers us a variety of advantages while sculpting and/or drawing on a computer.

A regular mouse was made for precision and sharper movements, but generally, sculpting doesn’t require that amount of precision, since most of the time, we’re trying to make things look natural and organic. That’s where a drawing tablet comes in handy.

It offers a great amount of control for our strokes by allowing us to use a paper-like surface to “draw” on and most importantly, emulates actual drawing motions, as they come with a pen as well. Along with the more natural motion, we also get control over the strength of the brushes by adding physical pressure to the pen, which adds a whole other level of detail to our sculptures that would be much harder to achieve using a mouse.

Fortunately, most of the 3D modeling/sculpting software today offers support for drawing tablets, and Blender is no exception...
