Wacom Cintiq, my darling, I'm waiting for you:) Time for a new graphic tablet;)

My first graphic tablet was presented to me by my husband about four years ago. It was a classis wacom tablet like this:

I can't describe my feelings about the gift, it was a whole new world for me:) Of course, it took time to get used to it, but it totally worthed efforts. Really soon I understood how this everything works, and this dragon was my first digital art:

Some peole I know thought that digital art takes no effort at all, that "the computer makes everything for you". 

Ha-ha, fail!:)

They thought so only untill I gave them stylus to hadns, opened Photoshop and asked to draw something. Usually three minutes was enough for them to understand the fail. Yep, digital art takes effort as traditional does. Ability to try over and over again is an advantage, sure, but the graphic tablet doesn't draw instead of you.

Now years passed, and the line of wacom tablets grew wider. And some of my fellow illustrators now choose Wacom Cintiq for their work. And I want to get one for myself too.

Recently on Comoc Con I saw them in a show-room and completely fell in love. While wacom intuos is a mediated was to contact digital canvas (you makes strokes on the tablet, but you look on the computer screen to see what happens), cintiq is in opportunity for the direct contact. You draw right there, on the screen of a tablet.

I already used to mediated contact, but to have an opportunity to have a direct one seems really attractive. So I think I'll make myself this present as soon as I'll manage. 

In fact I already think about all the art I will create with the new tool:)

Thank you for watching:)

Love, Inber
