I bought the Wacom Graphire3 3.6" X 5" one. =/ And I have a few questions in my head...
What was the difference between the Graphire2 and Graphire3 series? Should I have bought the Graphire2 5" x 7" instead?
What's your preferred pressure settings?
Any tips and tricks for me to get used to the drawing area faster?

Haven't we had a thread like this before? :)
I use the smallest tablet at home and a monster one at home. It's like drawing on a landing strip. Either will do fine and I actually prefer the smaller one better.
As for settings, just draw over the sample area in the Tablet's program settings as natural as you can and that should do just fine, or maybe a bit lighter just so you have to apply a bit of pressure to get good lines. Most of all just experiment with the tablet. Have fun with it :)

I have a 9x12 Intuos myself... really just experiment until you find what's comfortable for you. It takes a while to get used to moving your hand without looking at the tablet.... but with practice it comes natural.

Hehe, I'm actually practicing to use the tablet in place of a mouse in everything.
JJJ: Really? Graphire3 just has the fancier look? o_O

Question #1- Like JJJ said, all I've heard is that they have a different look. I've got the smallest Graphire2, and it works great.
Question #2- I'm not sure... I'd have to check. I'm pretty sure mine are on default, and it works pretty well. I'm thinking about upping the sensitivity so I can get thinner lines with less pressure (or would that be lowering the sensitivity?).
Question #3- Just get drawing. Make sure your pad is set to the drawing area corresponds to the screen... it should be set to tablet mode or whatever anyway. Just make sure it's not on mouse mode and start doodling.

Ooh, I got the same one, last Sunday! :o It was a great bargain, too. S$40. :D
All I can say is...practise a lot. I've done a lot of doodling, but on my second try I was able to produce a pretty neat Sonic pic on par with my pencil art.

Anyone who's got a tablet should check this out:
http://www.ambientdesign.com/artrage.html
It's a new, free program that emulates physical media (paint, charcoal, graphite, marker, crayon etc) on the computer. It actually works surprisingly well, letting you blend media fairly realistically on the canvas.
In fact, anyone interested in art should check it out.
