Cintiq Girl Manga Artwork

by Ben July 03, 2013 in Art 0 comments tags: anime girl, artwork, Ben Krefta, Character Design, cintiq, cintiq 13hd, graphics tablet, manga, photoshop, wacom

Work in Progress:

W.I.P. I'm 85% complete with this one. It’s been sitting on my hard drive in this state for weeks. Perhaps another 3 hours and I’ll be done with the colouring- just need to find the time.

 

Cintiq Girl finally finished :)

Wacom girl art

In May 2013 I worked at the Wacom stand at the MCM comic expo in London.

I created 'Cintiq girl' especially for the event and spent most of my time there demonstrating the new Cintiq 13HD graphics tablet screen combo, which was pretty cool!

On the Friday I tried out Manga Studio 4 (Now known as Clip Studio) to digital ink her. It seemed like an ok program, but not sure I’d use it again and I couldn’t figure out if there’s a way to create anti-aliased lines? I then spent the weekend working on the colours in Photoshop CS6 in between chatting to customers, but still needed a day to finish after I got back.

Also wanted to see how my new laptop handles large Photoshop files. This one is about 1.5GB! (this image is 6% actual size) and it seemed fine for everything other than smudge tool.

Thanks for checking it out!

 

About the Cintiq

 

Wacom Cintiq is a line of interactive pen displays by Wacom, catering to artists and designers. It integrates a high-quality display directly into the drawing surface, enabling users to draw, paint, and manipulate digital content directly on the screen.

The series offers various models with differences in size, resolution, and features. Notable among these features is the pressure-sensitive pen that provides precise control and simulates traditional artistic techniques. Some models also include multi-touch capabilities for gestures like zooming and rotating. Widely utilized in animation, illustration, and graphic design, the Cintiq series has become a favoured tool for professionals and enthusiasts seeking an intuitive and direct digital drawing experience. For the latest information, it's recommended to check Wacom's official sources for product updates and releases.

Working with Wacom now ended

by Ben May 26, 2013 in Art Talk 0 comments tags: artists on tumblr, mcm comic expo, wacom

Just a quick one- I’ve returned from my three day stint at the MCM Comic Expo in London.

The event took place on Friday 24th-Sunday 26th of May 2014. My job there was to perform graphics tablet art demos for Wacom.

 

It was my first time attending an MCM event. They're huge! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and being surrounded by so many people into he same kinds of stuff as me. As I was working there I didn’t have much chance to properly check everything out, but managed to chat with lots of cool people, fellow artists and play around with some new tech. I hope to attend with Wacom again or perhaps set myself up a stall in the artists alley? :)
