In this Adobe Illustrator tutorial we will discuss how to configure the Graphic Tablet for easy operation and configuration of Illustrator’s standard vector drawing tools to create a variable width path for illustrations. I will also describe several practical exercises that allow you to quickly master the Graphic Tablet.

Hi Iaroslav, I could use a tip: I'm using Genius 8508XA in Illustrator. Up until yesterday everything was normal, but now I can only draw within existing shapes, not on empty areas: http://tinypic.com/r/15d5pb7/5
Do you have an idea what might be causing this?
TNX, Ivan

It seems to me that you draw the other part of the stylus. This is an eraser tool.
