I just want to share my experience as an artist and show you some of the things I’ve done with it since I got my hands on it. I won’t give you a super detailed description of all the amazing specs and how many UBS ports is has or how much space is in the hard drive because there are plenty of excellent reviews out there. I recorded and photographed as much as I could and I end up with over 10 hours of RAW video that I have summed up into this short video conveniently called Companion in The Wild.īefore I tell you about my experience with the Wacom Cintiq Companion, I want to make a couple of things clear: I have been using Wacom tablets for 7 or more years, however during my trip, was the very first time that I had actually worked with a Cintiq for an extended period of time. I felt an urge to create… Everything I saw was worth noting, and with every new location I visited, a new set of ideas were effortlessly formed in my head. In other words, there is another dimension to what you are creating when you can smell, hear and touch the object you are depicting… You can begin to understand their space simply because you are in it. Suddenly, everything has a personality and all the variables in your surroundings make an imprint on what you are doing… The dry leaf that fell in the spot you were drawing, the little bug that sat on your hand as the pen glid in a straight line or the moving clouds that cast a long shadow changing the contrast and colour of everything around.



You learn a lot about yourself as an artist when the subject you choose to draw or paint is constantly moving and the light is constantly changing, or when you can hear the sound that your scene makes.
