Any suggestions? I searched the forums but couldn't find anything. Please let me know if I missed something.

I'm doing Scott Robertson's perspective line and ellipse exercises on paper, but have noticed that I have significantly less control using my 6x8 tablet. Not only am I not properly aware of the orientation of my tablet drawing surface (unless positioned in one spot on a table) to the screen doc but I have no idea which point the stylus on the tablet has with the corresponding point on the screen doc.

This seems pretty basic but I've been ignoring it and just hoping that I would just find some workaround. It seems like such a shame though to not be able to use certain eye-hand coordination abilities that have been built up through using traditional media

How have other people made the transition?
