Technology is vastly improving, and we need to go along with it. Today, almost everything can be digitally done: from drawing and creating graphic works to posters and ads. Luckily, you can now conceptualize and digitize your sketches through a drawing tablet. Not to mention that it can positively make your work more appealing and…
After working with Magic Leap on the Spacebridge interactive workspace, Wacom is going back to what it does best: making kickass graphic tablets and the accessories that go with them. As we all know, 3D professionals have delicate emotions hands – not that they don’t know hard work, but it’s not quite the coal mines.…
It’s not even worth debating whether sketches created by “finger painting” on a tablet with your big stubby nubs are worth using or not. Unless you’re just laying out a few simple lines, a stylus is almost always necessary for achieving something with a finished sketch quality –– particularly one with pressure sensitivity.

We’ve seen two-in-one hybrids that pair a stylus tip with a pen in the…
The iPad stylus market has seen an interesting turn in recent months with the release of Wacom’s Intuos Creative Stylus and now this morning, the Pencil by 53. For anybody who has used the iPad app Paper by 53, you might be familiar with 53’s exceptional attention to detail in the user experience and their…
I declared a couple of months ago that Lenovo had marketed its ThinkPad Tablet to the wrong crowd. It’s 10″ screen and pressure sensitive stylus made it stick out as the first real contender for the title of Cintiq-on-the-cheap.
