Cintiq Envy?

(1/4) > >>

BoutASouffle:
So it looks like somebody got a new Cintiq (*coughJephcough*)  and I for one am really envious. I work on a wacom tablet at home, but I had the opportunity to use Cintiqs for my myriad animation classes this semester.

I was wondering if anyone else on here has used one. If so, how do you feel they compare to regular tablets?

For me, they definitely were more intuitive than a regular Wacom since it's closer to drawing on paper, but I actually found that using the tablet has its advantages. Since maneuvering the cursor is a little more difficult, I found myself thinking out shapes more before I drew them. I also used broader, more solid lines because it is difficult to do something thin and sketchy on a tablet (especially on my dinky 4x6" one that is clearly marketed for children). So while I really like sketching on a Cintiq, I find inking on a tablet really rewarding.

Granted, when you suck at drawing as much as I do, no amount of fancy equipment is going to make things better.

Any other thoughts?

Emaline:
I'm fairly certain that this thread might do better in the Comics and Drawing forum.

BoutASouffle:
Ack... You're right. Sorry! Is there a way to move it? I can't find one in the "Help" section.

I'm going to go hide my face in shame now.

Ballard:
Just ask a mod to. Most likely one of them will catch it and do it eventually.

Cam:
I just use a tablet PC.  So, my experience is more like a Cintiq then a standard tablet.  I have no desire to use just a tablet ever again.  Seeing what you are drawing while drawing it is just the way to go.  To do so digitally, can be much more expensive, but is worth it if you have the cash.
