Wacom Cintiq 24HD Tablet Demonstrations

Since we all can't or don't need to buy the top of the line Cintiq 24HD by Wacom, the next best thing is to play with one at a store. If that's still not possible, then I recommend watching some demonstrations!

This demo and review is a little over 9 minutes, but is very helpful. He demos the stylus as well as the scroll wheel and buttons. Skip to 7:50 for his opinions of the cons. Cintiq 24HD Review and Demo.

This video shows the Cintiq 24hd in action! I'm not a fan of the music, but I liked watching his progress. Drawing on the Cintiq 24HD.

Not the best video, but gives you a good idea of the size of the 24HD. Quick review and demonstration of the Wacom Cintiq 24HD.

Jaja Stylus Uses Sound Waves to Detect Pressure

The Jaja is intended to be a more precise stylus for the Apple iPad.

The company is trying to raise money on Kickstarter. If you like being the first to buy new gadgets, then you might want to help them out since the first 500 people will be able to buy the Jaja for $40.
If you like to sketch on your iPad, you know there are a bunch of styluses on the market and coming out which try to improve upon the drawing and painting experience in apps like ArtRage.

Wacom Intuos With Meet the Masters DVD Bundle

Meet-the-masters-wacom-graphics-tablet

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.

Wacom Bamboo Create Pen Tablet Rebate

Great deal on Wacom Bamboo Create graphics tablet!

The discount is major so I had to post this even though I don't get any money from the link. ;-)
Dell Small Business offers the Wacom Bamboo Create Pen Tablet, model no. CTH670, for $199.99. Coupon code “BZRB2NTGK?M73V” cuts it to $139.99. With $8.99 for shipping, that’s the lowest total price we could find by $16. Sales tax is added where applicable.
I can't vouch for Dell's online customer service since I've never bought anything from them, but I bet they aren't bad. Hrm, even if they have poor customer service, I'd still recommend buying this Bamboo pen tablet. It's too great of a discount to pass up!
