Sorted out the delivery. Thankfully this time when I said no to the chat service I got a human. A few items were out of stock which was a pain.
Still been trying at digital because pencils and paper require me to sit up for too long. It’s frustrating though. While I picked the controls up quickly and have been managing to ‘paint’, sketching smoothly or with any precision is near impossible and kind of forcing me to relearn bad habits (pressing too hard just so the stylus will register, and chicken scratching).
It’s probably the limitations of the basic program and small equipment (it’s an on the go visual note taker for phones with fewer features than the standard version) plus my posture. But it’s really hard not to take poor results personally.
Edit: I went into the settings of the pencil and turned ‘streamlining’ up to 100 which helped a lot. Much closer to a real pencil. But yeah. That control has to be manually trained for a real pencil so it feels like a skill issue :(
