My Cintiq 12wx (Wacom tablet) is finally here!! This gadget has changed my life – I’ve never been this excited since I discovered the Japanese etch n’ sketch!

This amazing gadget took my cartooning/illustration to the next level. This is the first drawing I drew with my baby. It took me 3 minutes.

my first illustration with my baby - Cintiq 12wx Wacom tablet
This simple drawing would’ve taken me at least 30 minutes to 1. Draw in ink, 2. Scan, 3. Colour using photoshop etc before the arrival of Cintiq 12wx. Now, I just draw on the Cintiq. It is like having another monitor but you can actually draw on it.

My beautiful? hand and my baby!!! ~ i.e. Wacom Cintiq 12wx tablet
I give this tablet a 5 star !!! ?????
The only thing is, it’s not that portable (yet). I’m hoping they will make things wireless…because look at this CHAOS!!!

Plus the power hub is ginormous:

Power hub of cintiq 12wx. Man it's so not portable. Please work on it Wacom people!!!
That said, I am not going back to:

Poor pens and brushes, I must put you in storage now…

old intuos wacom tablet that i've been using before. Cost me $250 CDN.
Also, the Intuos (Wacom tablet) looks a bit sad too…but this is very portable so if I want to draw at Blenz coffee (in North Vancouver you can get free wireless connection) I will take thee!
