260 Hand-painting an image with a Wacom Cintiq

…Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland. Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week I got a Cintiq.…Now if you're familiar with the Wacom Cintiq, then you're…probably thinking dude, you are so lucky, which is true.…This thing is fantastic.…If you're unfamiliar, what we have is a…flat panel display upon which you can draw directly.…So here I am armed with the standard issue, pressure sensitive stylus.…This is Photoshop by the way, it's just that the interface…is hidden.…And, I've already selected the brush tool in advance.…And so I'll just go ahead and start drawing and you…can see if I press lightly, I get a thin line.…

And if I press more firmly, I get a big thick line.…So it's just like drawing with any other drawing…tablet except that you can draw directly inside the image.…But rather than focus on the technology, because these are quite expensive.…This bad boy here, which is a 22 HD, costs about 2,000 bucks.…So I'm assuming most of us don't have that kind of money to throw around.…Which is why I'm going to expend my attention…
