But not great taste in sandwiches . <| sep |> Charlie and the Chocolate Factory . Willy Wonka gave me a weird creepy vibe and that boat scene didn ' t help <| sep |> I ' ve been living under a rock , what ' s in 17 days ? <| sep |> Why didn ' t you buy an 85 X and then upgrade it to the Merchantman . This way you get LTI . <| sep |> You don ' t need a tablet to get the most out of illustrator . The only thing that you need a tablet for is drawing VERY complex shapes using brushes . I ' ve only used I tablet for 3 months to see if I really needed it , but it doesn ' t make a lot of difference . There is like a million ways of doing something in illustrator and I found out that I am better not using the brushes . The only thing I use brushes for is creating particles with some scatter brushes . Most tablets are cheap but the most expensive component is the pen . TDRL If you are not going to draw , don ' t buy one .
