cintiq for comics?

[Carl_Shinyama]

Cinitq is cool, but they still need a ton of stuff to make it better.

They need pinch zoom like on an Ipad, that shit is amazing.

Pinch zoom will pretty much change your life..

Only if that is on the side of the screen, and not on the screen. Can you imagine the amount of frustration that an artist would have if he was constantly pinch-zooming the screen accidentally?

do people really draw comics with this? any professionals???

I don't know of a professional who draws with a HP tablet, but lots of professionals do indeed draw digitally. Mark Brooks and Freddie Williams III are two who do, and they do an awesome job at it, though both vary it up from digital to traditional and vice versa every now and then.

cintiq and manga studio pro/photoshop. i like the tips that have little white rubber tips on them. Really like Manga Studio, but of course you have to have photoshop too.

If wacom came out with a wifi cintiq with a drawing size of something like 11" x 17" (something a bit bigger than current ipad display), it's not a bad feature. Sketching would be a breeze.

But if we're just talking about the giant hd cintiqs, ya' it can be a useless feature when apps like sketchbook pro & manga studio already come with hotkey triggered zoom & pan navigation tools.

It's impossible to pinch zoom the screen accidentally if it works like the ipad does.

You have to hold you 2 fingers together and either expand or contract for it to even work.

Also since it would have to be a dual surface to make the touch screen and pen work, it would have palm rejection.

Triggered zoom is pretty poor imo, pinch zoom lets you target a spot and go in and out immediately,and on the fly.

It really is the best thing ever.

You can do triggered zoom with the pen, no?

[50%grey]

You can and you use the underside of the cintiq to go in and out.

To me its just not as fluid or works as well as the ipad pinch zoom.

it also uses the application to do it versus the screen technology itself.

If you sometimes have two hands on the screen, it would happen more than you think. I've done that before with my friend's iPad.

But that said, I do see your point. It could work.

The Bamboo is little more than a child's toy. If you like drawing with a Bamboo, you may love the Cintiq as it's a Pro grade version of the Bamboo with a monitor built in.

this one is done with a normal wacom tablet, almost similar to my bamboo, as chris states in his website!

what cant i do with my bamboo that is really important? i do the line drawing on paper before scanning it in the computer, it takes about 30 seconds, really i cant see much difference. i have seen no speed paintings online that i could not do with my technik..

painting and hitting the lines right is really no problem at all...

what are the main advantages of the big wacom?

[Juggertha]

It's your call. I've used a Bamboo and found them less responsive than I'd like. But it really depends on what you want to do with it...and of course, your budget.

What sort of work are you doing?
