Digital painting for splash page of apparel company’s website.
I purchased the Wacom Cintiq 24HD three months ago for $2600 from Wacom.com, and I am absolutely thrilled with it. Keep in mind though, that anyone who spends $2600 on ANYTHING will say just about anything to defend their purchase! But I truly believe it’s already paid for itself. Here is my detailed review: Read more
Here’s a digital painting I did recently using techniques I’m learning in Bobby Chiu’s digital painting class on Schoolism.com. I highly recommend it!
Here are 3 extremely useful pieces of software I use every day.
1. GoodSync
This is without a doubt the best software for syncing two hard drives. I use it to sync my portable hard drive with my computer. You can set it to sync as soon as you open the program. It’s so fast: it can sink gigs of data in just a couple of minutes – way faster than dragging all the files over. It will even tell you if there are conflicts, and lets you choose which direction to sync the files. I’ve used for over a year, daily, and it’s never caused any issues.
I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect invoicing program. Never found it! So I settled for the free one! This was the only free one I found that also allows you to send estimates. Very easy to use, and it’s fully integrated with PayPal, so when your client pays you with PayPal, it automatically maks the invoice as paid.
3. Toggl.com
This is a great free online time-tracking tool. It’s simple, and easy to use. It even has a desktop app.
I purchased the Cintiq 12WX in July 2011, and thought I should share my review. I beat my head against a wall for months trying to decide if the $1000 price tag was really worth it or not. The verdict: Oh yeah.
WHAT I USE IT FOR: Digital painting, comic book “inking,” sketching, graphic design, photo manipulation.
