(light music) - Wa is Japanese for harmony and com is short for communication. So Wacom stands for harmonious communication.
A little mnemonic to remember this is, especially if you're a dog owner, what do you do with your dog every day? You Wacom. Hi, I'm John Derry and welcome to Wacom Essential Training. In the world of digital art and design, Wacom pressure sensitive tablets and displays are considered to be the gold standard. In the last few years, a lot has changed for Wacom tablets, for the better. Touch is now a key navigational attribute of the computing landscape, and in response, all of Wacom's products now offer touch capability.
Devices are getting smaller and smaller, and therefore, more mobile. The recently introduced MobileStudio Pro pen computer offers a high performance platform in a small package. Pressure sensitivity, the single most important attribute that contributes to expressive artwork, has increased four-fold. The Pro Pen 2 is capable of a whopping 8,192 levels of pressure. While this course focuses on the prosumer and professional end of the Wacom product line, we'll additionally touch on some of the consumer line, as well.
The Intuos Pro, MobileStudio Pro and Cintiq 22HD Touch will be used throughout this course. I'll be using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Silicon Benders Sketchable and Corel Painter to demonstrate the capabilities of these tablets. We'll discuss which tablet is best for your creations, show you how to set up your tablet and pen for optimal use, as well as instruct you through some eye-hand coordination exercises to help you improve your skill level.
Now, let's get started with Wacom Essential Training.
