Wacom Intuos With Meet the Masters DVD Bundle
For those living in Europe, you are fortunate because Wacom is including Meet the Masters on DVD with an Intuos4 purchase (excluding the XL). This DVD provides great tutorials from internationally known designers
The DVD includes:
- Digital drawing and painting in Photoshop – Learn to create an entire illustration from scratch, from setting up a workspace to sketching, drawing and colouring techniques.
- Photo Illustration – Follow digital artist Uli Staiger as he uses Photoshop to create a breath taking composition. Through the process, learn about everything from 3D tools and blend modes to masking and layer adjustments.
- Drawing in Illustrator – Find out about the different brushes in Illustrator that create a wide variety of effects in images.
- Painter crash course – Explore Corel Painter’s artist’s tools and use them to create a piece of artwork from start to finish.
There is picture-in-picture video of the teachers using the Intuos4 pen tablet. There is also a mode called watch & work that displays the tutorial in a small window on screen allowing you to practice along with the video.
If you are only interested in the DVDs, they can be purchased separately or together on the Wacom estore.
I'm a bit jealous that we don't get this same deal in the U.S. I have no idea why they don't make it available here, but it's a very good deal for anyone in Europe who is interested in buying an Intuos4 right now.

Samsung Highlights the Galaxy Note’s Wacom Digitizer
I'm glad to see that we will be able to use Photoshop Touch and possibly other drawing apps on more than just the iPad.
Galaxy Note is the first device that incorporates their pen input experience into a smartphone form factor. Samsung is taking advantage of the tech with modifications to its TouchWiz interface, plus custom note, writing and art apps that allow for true graphics tablet functions on the five-inch device. Imagine using something like Photoshop Touch on that sensitive screen. Samsung’s SDK will allow third-party developers to take advantage of the hardware as well.

Art Inspiration Wednesday!
My husband is in the hospital with a collapsed lung. He's okay and will hopefully get to go home soon. Needless to say, it has kept me away from working on this site.
Since this has been the third week where I've needed to post "Art Inspiration Tuesday" on Wednesday, I'm officially moving it to Wednesday. Maybe it's a sign. ;-)
I thought it would be fitting to have today's theme inspired by lungs. I tried not to be too literal, but it was hard since it's constantly on my mind.
Photo-realistic pencil drawings bu Paul Lung. I hope you like cats!

New Wacom Bamboo Tablets Ad/Demo
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.
