New Drawing Tablet

I am using a drawing tablet for the first time. It is so cool, but I have so much to figure out. I am using Gimp for the first time too. I found out that I love the airbrushing and soft lighten options. Using a tablet to draw is so much easier than using a mouse and my computer seems to put up with these programs a lot more easily.
P.S. Here is my first tablet drawing ever and it is a very very creepy green eye.
