I sold it before Sintel.Ĭontext: I was needing a A5 tablet to do work while traveling and do conferences and demonstrations. Also, it was a paint to setup with Xorg on my first years of 100% GNU/Linux. The tablet took a scratch 1 year after getting it because of a solid dust in the air getting stuck between the stylus nib and screen during drawing. Used with: Second monitor, 1680x1024 16/10 monitor.Ĭon: Mini size, too dark to be color calibrated correctly, very pricey, big padding on the border, too hot and big cable and power unit. Specification: 1280x720px, same stylus and technology as Intuos3. The fashion of "wide" ratio screen started. Mainly because the tiny spring that manage pressure become tired with time and pressure become quickly flat.Ĭontext: First Cintiq, was a dream to try to "draw on screen". This tablet in intensive use required a new overlay sheet around every two years and a new stylus every 3 years maybe. Maybe only one: after 10 years Wacom eshop removed the overlay sheet and extra stylus part for this model. This is the tablet I painted the most on my life between 2006 to 2016 and I built all my personnal taste, standard and experience around this model.Ĭon: No con? Seriously. Pro: Super robust, super standard on every Linux (plug'n'play). Used with: 1280x1024 4/3 monitor, and discovering first Linux distro in 2007 with it. Perfect overlay sheet in my opinion ( a bit fragile, I changed it 3 times until expired in Wacom shop ) Specification: A4 large active area, 4:3 ratio.

As my previous tablet felt a bit too small for the first generation of LCD flat monitors, I decided to buy the professional model of Wacom of that time the Intuos 3 A4. I decided to switch to 100% digital-painting for my daily work. The time of scan and original painting sent was definitely over and the industry was changing. The thin stylus had the same diameter than a regular pen.Ĭon: The mouse was a bit useless, Plexiglas overlay sheet get easily visible scratches.Ĭontext: After the first years of practising digital painting (it was pretty new at that time) I saw all my publisher were requiring to work only with digital artist. Pro: Good precision, got a slot on the top of the tablet to clip the stylus when traveling. Used with: a 4/3 CRT monitor 1280x1080px, Photoshop Element 2.0 (bundled with the tablet). Specification: Medium sized A5, ultra smooth Plexiglas overlay sheet, 4/3 ratio. I made my first online portfolio of digital paintings and managed my first years as a digital painter freelance.
2002: Wacom Graphire 3Ĭontext: The small graphire was my first tablet, it took me time to get used to a tablet. At this time, I used Internet mostly as a communication tool to send scan of my artworks to publishers. Timeline: 2000 : No tabletĬontext: I started being a professional illustrator with traditional painting on canvas. Q: Why do you use Linux to use your tablets ?Ī: That's another topic, and you can read here about it. I received too many request, it looks like it is a common practice and I see many artist being corrupted by it. Also, I'm not promising to say only good things about it or to do a tutorial with it.

Q: I'm a tablet company, would you like to test our tablets? I can send you a device for free to appear on this page.Ī: Yes, but mind I rejected already four companies because I'll test your hardware only if you have an open-source driver on a GNU/Linux system. Same answer here :-)Ī: Another analogy to musicians here: tablets are not expensive compare to a piano, a saxophone or a good instrument. Avoid the A6 size (10x15cm), they are too small to draw or paint.Ī: Ask to a professional guitarist why he has so many guitars. Q: What is the best tablet to start digital-painting with?Ī: I think a A5 sized regular tablet (medium/A5). F.A.Q:Ī: By 2020, I'm using a Intuos4 XL oversized, you can see a photo of it at the end of this article. This article started a decade ago and receives constant updates and new paragraph along the years of practise (last update, June 2017). This article details my experience with all the graphic tablets I used since 2002. Photo: Krita beta-testing session two monitors, four Wacom tablets (2012).
