I haven't had a chance to play around with the new Wacom Bamboo tablets, but here's the official advertisement for the new line. I especially like how you can add a wireless input option to all three for an extra charge.

New Pen from Wacom: Chromopen
The new Wacom Chromopen is a great digitizer for choosing colors in your art design.
Point & Shoot Tablet Pen
As digi-painting application technology expands, so does the need for digital artistry tools. The Chromopen concept makes choosing colors for matte-painting a cinch. The user simply points and shoots the Chromopen’s built-in camera to catch colors directly from the scene they’re painting, simultaneously broadening their understanding of color tones. Genius!

Design Inspiration Tuesdays!
This site is focused on Wacom tablets, but as a graphic designer, I'm interested in art as well of course. I'm constantly looking for inspiration online and in life so I thought it would be nice to show art that can be created using Wacom or other tablets. Hopefully you'll be inspired too!
The theme today, which was unintentional, is "romantic"? Er, that's the best I can think of to describe it.

Online Digital Design Tutorials for Beginners
Even though I've been a graphic deisgner and illustrator for quite a while, I still look to free tutorials for inspiration and sometimes for things that I forgot how to do. There are so many different sites and I've spent a lot of time going through them over the years to find the good ones.
I thought I could save you some time by giving you my list here. For the next week or so, I will be posting different design tutorial sites and demonstration videos.
Here are a few beginner tutorial sites to start you off!
Ctrl+Paint is one of my favorite sites for digital painting tutorials. Includes a well written Digital Painting 101 guide.
veerle-v2.duoh.com - I really like the design of this site. These tutorials are good basics to know. She has an updated version of her site at veerle.duoh.com where the tutorials seem to be a little more intermediate.
Ideabook.com - Offers some free tutorials mostly for newbies.
