I like 'em.

My prayers have been answered!!!

I'm not enthused about the "touch" of wet media on the canvas or paper anyway. But for the foundation of the piece, I find that I prefer putting real pencil to real paper for the touch factor, then scanning it in to be colored and tweaked in Photoshop. Pencil is a nice dry media and not as messy as something like chalk pastel(which I dislike). This of course is not as portable as doing everything on a laptop, so I may eventually need to get over it.Tom Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624247648988106639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-41724746376426809742007-11-07T19:45:00.000-08:002007-11-07T19:45:00.000-08:00Bah!

I will probably never give up drawing and painting on paper and canvas completely, but having it all conveniently at my fingertips in my trusty tablet can't be beat. <BR/><BR/>Like all media, it just takes some getting used to it. <BR/><BR/>Hey Dok, haven't you been using a cintiq for a while... what do you think?Rickarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730754739317666560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-91245692130946812032007-11-07T16:51:00.000-08:002007-11-07T16:51:00.000-08:00We need rumble pensWe need rumble pensMr Goodsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990879366082004882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-19532685381118272082007-11-07T08:02:00.000-08:002007-11-07T08:02:00.000-08:00I've never liked how the wacom pen feels on the ta...I've never liked how the wacom pen feels on the tablet surface. I wonder if any technician is working on that problem. We don't normally think about how the activity of drawing engages the sense of touch. Maybe there are people that miss that smell of turpentine when you paint on the screen. Or that sound of the crow quill scratching across the paper.Tom Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624247648988106639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-992102169694003252007-11-06T16:09:00.000-08:002007-11-06T16:09:00.000-08:00Heh... your bad Cintiq drawing would be one of my ...Heh... your bad Cintiq drawing would be one of my good ones!Rickarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730754739317666560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-14032099023551353352007-11-06T15:52:00.001-08:002007-11-06T15:52:00.001-08:00Don't sandpaper your cintiq!
