First Painting Attempt with the Wacom Intuos4

Erik Jun 09, 2009 — 122 comments

Hawk Dream

Yesterday I bought myself a new toy, a Wacom Intuos4 Tablet.

Essentially it’s a pen that acts like a mouse; whatever motion you make with it, either above the pad or touching the pad, it will follow on the screen. The pen tip reacts to how hard you push, sensing 2,048 different levels of pressure. I fooled around with it last night, trying to get the feel for it, this is the first digital painting.

This thing is amazing. You can really control it for some good detail, and it’s incredible how natural it feels, especially since it seems like something from another planet. Once I get the hang of it, I think I will be able to make some pretty cool stuff.

By the way, this image was based on a ‘vision’ I had during a session in a sensory deprivation tank.

Indeed it is. Hand drawn in Photoshop with the Intuos4.
