Recently picked up a Cintiq.

Before now, I've been sketching on paper and then scanning and inking afterwards. Would it be better to just try and make the leap of drawing straight to the tablet from the beginning? Seems like it would save a lot of time in the long run but would take a while to get used to.

>he fell for the Cintiq meme

With that said, yes of course you draw on the screen. If you weren't planning on doing that you shouldn't have gotten it to begin with (also, you shouldn't have gotten it to begin with).

The only Cintiqs that are even remotely worth it are the massive ones, simply because they're bigger than any monitor a regular tablet could function properly on.

Draw on whatever you want. Digital doesn't replace traditional just because you bought an expensive tablet. I have an Intuos 3 and an iPad Pro and still do most of my sketching and studies on paper, digital is convenient but it's still a compromise when it comes to tactile sensitivity and control.

I wish I could use my mouse like this so it obscured half the screen.

It'll take some time getting used to the slippery glass, but once you do, it's pretty easy. Also, get a screen protector asap, to increase friction and avoid wear.
