That happens with every signature I make. I don't think any of my smudges have seen the light of day.

Lost my tablet pen. I think I threw it out while cleaning my desk yesterday. Won't be making sigs til I get my new tablet.

Just get a new pen.
Unless you want to buy a whole new tablet.

its an old tablet that you cant get a pen for and ordered a tablet a few days ago anyway

how old? its 7 years old or more. 2005

I got it during the end of my freshman year of highschool

Ordering the wacom intuos5?

Intous4

Tanner said it was better and it was on sale on amazon 130 with shipping 46% off

Lies, intuos5 is better, why do you think I have one? ^^

Cause it looks prettier but anything looks prettier than my Wacom CTE 430 I use for pen tooling on illustrator

The CTE looks like a signature tablet at a store.

both of those sigs are rather flat. and very basic.. no depth, source of lighting, very dark...

It would help i think if you were to look at your lighting points on the renders in which you are using, and start from there. Also add more detail to the foreground, and background. because currenty right now, it looks like you took a black background, put a white line through the niddle, or the blue through the middle, and then used the smudge tool, did an artistic render, sharpened it, and then added text to it
