It is for a real feel of pen to paper, that slightly rough texture, rather than a super smooth tablet surface. That smooth surface does take some getting used to. The pen that comes with it for the paper is really nice. I'm a traditionalist and love the feel of pen to paper but the electronic tech of today makes things quicker and easier. Here you can have both, and a hard copy of your creation. There is also different surface texture covers for the tablet you can purchase separately that have the feel of pen to paper. Might be cheaper than buying this item with paper option. It is definitely not necessary to get this item with paper option but if you love what you love then yes, it is a must have. Hope this helps =)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Its so that if you prefer drawing on paper, with a pencil or pen, then you can sketch it out on the pad, and then upload it to the computer. Then, using the pad you can finalize, or color it. For instance, I've tried drawing on a pad, while staring at the computer screen, and I can't do it. Its too disconnected for me. I am old school, I want to draw with a pencil on paper, look down at what I'm drawing, better hand/eye coordination. Then, the pad picks up my drawing from the pen used, and I can finalize it, clean it up, and color it in on the computer. Much better result than drawing and scanning it in because a scanner doesn't translate a solid line like this does.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Brandon, I bought it because I am used to Sketching, Pastel drawing, etc. on paper. Drawing on paper is more appealing to me than having to look at the computer, then look at the tablet, etc. Just my opinion! Mary24
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The paper is there to sketch onto which then translate to the tablet digitally for refinement.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have a paper sketch or want to convert your hand drawn pictures to digital, making them editable in editing applications you just use the included pen and draw over your sketch while it is on the tablet.
