...well I just recently ordered a new piece of hardware that I have been dreaming about for the past several years. For the past two years or so I have been using the Wacom Intuos3 6x8 tablet for my work. It has been a fantastic help to my work flow especially in my photo editing and especially when I use Corel Painter. The problem is that in my brain there is a disconnect. By nature ( with pen and pencil) we look at our canvas as we draw, write, paint, etc... Well with the Intuos3 you look at the screen while your hand does its things on the flat surface below your eyes. That is were I have my problem, I am used to looking at the point of the pencil as it makes its mark on the canvas. This is the problem with the Intous3. Granted the Wacom Intuos3 is a lot easier on your pocketbook in comparison to say a Wacom Cintiq tablet which runs about $2000 for a 20" display.
Well just recently Wacom released something that was music to my ears, that same amazing Wacom Cintiq but in a smaller package. Same great product but more reasonably priced. Now I get to look at my hand again, I get to see the point of my pencil as it digitally makes an impression on the canvas. I get to reconnect the disconnect that I have struggled with for the past several years. I pre-ordered the Wacom Cintiq 12WX and found out today that is has been shipped. My excitement continues to grow as I await the arrival of my first Cintiq.
Just as in life we start small and build up, making sure that we are making wise investments along the way. It's is a process that reminds me that everything has its time, my pencil and paper to my Wacom Intuos and now my Wacom Cintiq.
Deo Gratias
