Painting with the DS

So, I finally got my DS, R4, micro SD, firmware update, and Colors. I painted my first painting in my bedroom. I'm pretty happy with it, since it took me awhile to get used to how to use it, but that didn't really take that long. Hopefully you'll be seeing many more painting from my DS to
come. Now, back to work I go.

How to make it work
1. by the DS light $129
2. get an R4 card $30 to $40 it comes with a usb/micro sd thumb drive to download and upload software to your computer from your DS or to your DS.
3. get a micro SD card $20 for 2 gigs or some R4 deals come with an SD card.
4. go to the R4 main page http://www.r4ds.com/r4.htm and download the firmware to your computer, unzip it (it's a rar), and then just save the data to the root of the micro sd. There will be a folder called system, just take everything from there and move it to root and you're done.
5. download COLORS from http://www.collectingsmiles.com/colors/ and unzip and place the whole folder in the root (you don't have to move files to root, just put the folder in root).

That's it!

The DS is pressure sensitive, so it’s just like a Wacom, but cheaper and you can take it just about anywhere. The best thing ever, for artists.
