Drawing With the Wacom Inkling with Jon Burgerman

For a couple of days earlier last week, the Wacom INKLING video demo essentially filled up the 'news update'-page of my Facebook, as well garnered a slew of positive comments about wanting, nay - NEEDING the contraption on every artist and illustrator's lives - hell, even I (who dates not claim to be an artist) longed to own it! The video is self-explanatory, I reckon.

UK-artist Jon Burgerman drew from the Wacom Inkling and posted his images and responses on his Facebook - for which I shall shamelessly publish here to share with folks wondering if all that was offered, worked. (All quotes are reposts without edits and are of the opinion of Jon himself).

"My first drawing made with the new Wacom Inkling." ~Jon.

"i made this vector piece very quickly using the Wacom Inkling. Whilst I think it's a great tool it's not convinced me to replace up my current process of working. I see it as an additional tool to my traditional method of drawing on paper and then scanning it in." ~ Jon

"I drew Garfield from memory using the Wacom Inkling. As you can see part of his face was mis-allined when I uploaded the drawing." ~Jon

"it's fun, it's good for traveling doodlers, it's well made etc but i don't think at the moment it will change my current work process. for quick sketches and layouts and explaining ideas to people i think it'll be really handy. to generate busy, detailed art pieces that need to be 100% accurate it's not going to replace my pen, paper and scanner. yet." ~adds Jon Burgerman.
