Yes, although, to be fair, I don’t think any of the tasks were drawing.

Still, I’d be very surprised if any of the pen-mice available feel at all like actually using a pen. They seem to all be designed to reduce the amount of wrist pronation, not to help artists, seeing as how artists already have perfectly reasonable tools available (i.e. tablets).

Be sure to let me know once you have some videos up. I’m always interested to see other artist’s processes.

There were some interesting conclusions in that link. Most preferred a mouse to pen-mice. Go figure.

Here’s an article about pen-shaped mouse designs. (The viewer interface is pretty wacky; it took me a while to figure out that you have to read it by drag-scrolling the document, for some bizarre reason.) I haven’t read it fully to see what their conclusions are but it does seem to link to several products you might want to look into.
