  • And btw, I noticed your Hi-Fi Color for COmics book. Great choice mate !

  • @LegolasManowarMJ

    Love that book.

  • Bro, what is the response time for it ? Cuz I heard pretty mixed opinions about it and most of the negative ones were about the response time of the screen during drawing.

  • Sir did you create that back ground yourself it looks awesome you have some skills do you have a deviantart page?

  • @Gravesyte No way thats Adam Hughes.

  • @brandonrobinson5150 oh ok I see why you sold your stuff that tablets hella expensive

  • Cool review

  • Nice studio

  • i like your little studio and that red skull guy. what do you call your studios. i call mine (Destiny Arts Studios) I,m thinking about putting some kind of label logo plate outside the main door that says (Destiny Arts Studios). it would be hand crafted by me to make it unique and give it a cool look.

    :)

  • @T2469

    they are truly great aren't they.

  • hi Brandon,

    thanks for the Wacom Cintiq 12WX review. So the Cintiq always has to be connected to your imac? There is no wireleass connection? you mentioned the foam nibs. are those called flex nibs (black and white rubber nibs) cheers

  • @ecofugal Yes no wireleass

  • does any airbrushes work with this you know of?? i really need to before june 26

  • @Artificationarize

    what do you mean?

  • @brandonrobinson5150 my bad i need the airbrush pen for this which one would it be i think i found one last night int3 airbrush pen...

  • @Artificationarize

    You don't need to the airbrush pen but it cant hurt.

  • You can do that thing with the monitors on a Windows O:)

  • @Maartimer But with all other suckness too :)

  • Awsome review im supossed to get mine really soon (cant wait) i hope its worth it. Well i subbed and hope to see more videos.

  • When I update my drivers, do I do it before or after I load it into my computer. I'm moving it to my windows 7, computer so, should I download the drivers then hook up my cintiq?

  • @rushaa123

    Update drivers hook up cintiq then restart

  • @rushaa123 Be aware, if you use Win7 64, there are known issues with drivers not registering properly and connection randomly dropping when waking your computer from sleep/hibernation. I've had to reinstall drivers once due to this issue, but only once in the last year of ownership.

  • que asoombroso que exista algo como wacom :D es realmente perfecto, mi proxima inversion sera una wacom 12wx pensaba una wacom cintiq 21ux pero creo que el tamaño no importa, y realmente con esta me conformo, hey unapregunta, por ahi vi que tienes una MAC,¿son realmente buenas las MAC que una WINDOWS?, espero que puedas contestar te lo agradeceré mucho :D, saludos y que maravilloso que tengas una wacom :D

  • I see you are a user of this product im wondering if i can get your thoughts on the prouduct? Sence i see you video when you did the review is a couple years old. Which means you spend some time with the product. Thank you for your time. Keith My email is kweldon@email.itt-tech.edu you can reach me there as well

  • @Nuttfair

    It's just a personal thing if you have a good PC, your fine just keep it virus free.

  • god damn dude, what do you do?lol you got bread to have that expensive art work, let me in on your secrets to getting that kinda paper.lol

  • @Gum2Gum

    Obama bucks. LOL

  • @Gum2Gum lol nice, I got play on my obama bucks, so I gotta get It the poor man's way sell sell sell.lol

  • would u recommend me to buy the invisible shield to protect the screen?

  • @srOLDSKULL

    No it would void your warranty. The screen is made to be used and during normal use, if it scratches you are covered for two years.

  • I have bought the bamboo fun, but JESUS it totally impossible to use. I am thinking about buying this one (in denmark it cost around 2000 $) but, isent this starting to be an old model, i mean, your video is from 2008. Thats 3 years ago, when will there come a new model? best regards from Denmark

  • @Learncountriescom there is its the cintiq 21 ux waaaay more expensive but u should only get it if ur a pro or really desperatly need one or in my case get it cause u really want it >.< but i wanna be a pro mangaka so im gnna wait a year or two to get mine

  • @aaazafina What if I buy it only to decorate my desk? LOL!

  • @PirateKing1256 LOLZ! hi five ^-^ Its so pretty...

  • @aaazafina

    thanks

  • @Learncountriescom

    21 ux is mew for 2010

  • @brandonrobinson5150 Thank you i dont know much about this stuff, do you own one yourself?

  • getting myne tommarrow via UPS mail. will upgrade to a 21UX 2nd Gen in 2 yrs to 3.

  • AH WHAT! DAMN IT! Now you tell me that you have a two year warranty on scratches on the screen!!!! I put two big scratches into my 21ux (plus a thousand smaller insignificant ones). Plus it came with a dead pixel that I forget about and go to wipe it off the screen! I'm 3-4 days away from having 2 years, not enough time to get contact with wacom im sure!

  • @thepryest

    :(

  • Wacom is probably making big bucks and they want a easy way out from a hard customer like you , LOL .XD

  • this is one of the better reviews of the 12wx i've seen so far. you even mentioned how to avoid voiding the warrenty, thats great.

  • Hi i've got an imac 21ins with a core 2 duo processor and 4g ram, its gotta go back to work as it was on loan for me to do some work for them. I have a quad core PC with 6gigs of ram and a GTS 250 graphics card. ideally i'd like to keep the mac (lol) but are my pc specs good enough to adequately run a cintiq 21ux. i'm a real noob at this stuff and have only been usin computers for a couple of years for artwork. I've saved for ages to get the cintiq but is my pc good enuff? thanx in advance :)

  • @CoolG777

    As long as you have a Dual DVI you should be fine.

  • @brandonrobinson5150 Dual DVI? is that a port that enables me to have a second monitor on my PC?

  • @CoolG777 yes

  • @brandonrobinson5150 Dual DVI? is that a port that enables me to have a second monitor on my PC?

  • Nice vid, waitin for my 21ux n cant wait!

  • Great review. The only one that explains everything about the 12wx i've seen so far.

    Im getting mine end of the week, :D

    And yes. PC's do in fact, suck.

  • @lukedash123

    they Do don't they.

  • awesome, tx for the review. I'm getting mine tomorrow :D can't wait !!!!

  • @LinusDamm

    Cool.

  • Great video. Just wanted to chime in about the end of your video where you posed the question about the toolbars and working with an extended desktop. I'm a PC user personally and have the same exact pain in the butt problem. Could be because I'm new to all this Wacom stuff and the Cintiq, but I have the same issue.

  • can you use any hd resolution on your computer and mirror that to the cintiq ?

  • @JSprayaEntertainment

    I dont know

  • danm i want that !!!!!lol

  • rich and lucky dude thumbs up if you agree

  • can i get the address for the store you went to in new york?

  • @AbleKenivile

    420 9th Ave

    New York, NY 10001

  • how is it, or the 21wx when operating with scaners?

  • @wolf07837

    The 12 wx is great!

  • I have been waiting for my cintiq 21UX for over 5 months and its still not available. Keep your 12wx for now.

  • Do you have to buy extra programs like paint or photoshop ? And is the screen's size too small ? And finally, do you have to plug it on a computer to make it work or you can use it everywhere ?

  • @nickierainbow

    Yes you need a computer and a program, but you can al ways use a older version of photoshop.

  • I have a bamboo tablet hoping to try digital art but I just never seem to get use the thing. Its really different from paper in terms of feeling and just the whole experience. Your review was great but I was wondering does the cintiq help make the experience more well paper orientated in terms of drawing. Since I dont want to get the thing and learn that I still cant draw like I do on paper and tablets are expensive so ya. It be great if you let me know your opinion, thx.

  • Respond to this video...

    It can help a lot to have a cintiq

    but just keep practicing on the bamboo it will

    improve.

  • hey which one would you buy, 12 wx or the 21wx if had the money

  • @houndoom2002

    21 wx if you have the money

  • I need to get something (else) for my desk (bookshelves or something) because I hate the way it gets covered in crap so quickly.

    Get the smudgeguard with the 2 fingers it feels a lot better for me personally. I have a pc, so I can't really help you out with your problem there, I just go into my options and select my Cintiq as the only screen to be in use, after my pc recognized that it was a pen tablet it worked.

    You might like the 21ux, but try one out first, 12wx is more versatile (to me).

  • This review is really really great!

    Such a friendly guy! Though I'm not geting a Cintiq 12WX it was great review and I thought it was very interesting; the bit about costumer service gave me enough info that Wacom doesn't mess around and that's great. Awesome review mate, you squeezed so much info into those ten minutes! :)

  • @Yumega200

    thanks

  • i just got the bamboo pen and its great,might get this someday when i get better.nice vid

  • Cool Rewiev Dude :D

    Im gonna order one Tomorrow and it will be hard to wait till Monday <3

  • @alsfeld2008

    Good for you I hope you enjoy it!

  • Cintiq is racist man...

  • Maybe I misunderstood, but could you not just save a preset workspace the way you want it for the tablet, and one for your monitor? I know you'd have to alternate workspaces as you move from tablet to monitor and vice versa, but it could save some time.

  • i had two smudge guarsd, but then added the protective screen from strong engineering and was awesome, because the glue its only on the sides, my cintiq 21ux feels now like an intuos 3 i recomend it.

  • @eelsevilla Soon i plan to move up to a 21ux i may give that a try.

    Also I look at your coloring demo nice, can you give me a some pointers?

  • Waaaaiiiiit, so.. You got one for free? :D

  • So I'm to understand that Wacom doesn't fuck around?

  • @MarkArandjus

    they sure don't.

  • @MarkArandjus

    Any company that will be upfront about offering free warranty is almost guaranteed to have quality products.

  • I like your word "2Year Warranty!" 

  • Hey Brandon, nice review, i wasent sure weather to buy a cintiq 12wx but after this review,, you deff helped, .. thanks alot man, another thing I have a Power PC G5 running Leopard on it, can I use this tablet with it?

  • I envy you for having that awesome tablet XD. I hope to get either the 12WX or 21UX with intuos 4 tech

  • Hi, I've never used a tablet b4 and am cosidering getting either the 12wx or 21ux. I draw in 2 sizes in the old fashioned way A3 or A4 paper. Can you reach these sizes on the 12wx? Can the work be printed with no loss of quality? May sound a silly question to you, really sorry if it is. Excellent review, by the way.

  • @sbcaricatures using photoshop sure and the 12 wx will work no mater what your fill size.

  • haha, love the comment; Wich, if you could afford a mac pro, (pause) you know, good for you.

    Great review, I want this tablet, and will probably buy it some day.

  • So is that thing on your right hand something that keeps your hand from messing up the screen on the wacom drawing tablet?

  • @Darbcoproductions It helps your hand slide across without leaving oil on the screen.

  • hmm, i dunno how old this vid is :).. cintiq 12wx i hear ya, i love it, if i could afford it id get the 21 hehe.. been a few years iv had this.. guessing by foam tip you mean felt tip ? also latest photoshops are self conatianed so no more annoyances with boxes going onto wrong screen etc,, wasnt just a imac problem.. end of the day, cintiqs are fun, worth the extortionate money :)

  • Nice review man, I just ordered a 21UX. Took a long time to decide which one I wanted to get, but...I'm going big baby. Gotta have the real estate!!

    Also, you look a bit like Eric Sermon.

  • @LastEmperor7

    I get that a lot LOL.

  • most helpful review ever.

    you the daddy. you the guru.

  • What is your profession?!...I'f you don't mind me asking, nice video

  • You have absolutely NO clue how helpful this was to me..! I plan on getting myeslf a Cintiq 12wx (I would get the bigger one if I wanted to wait for that many paychecks) within the next few weeks and I've already done a lot of reading up on it but this video was WAAYYY more helpful. XD I had no idea it had a TWO year warranty on it(my friend owes me ten bucks now) But anyway; Thank you SOOO much for this vid. 8D

  • Adam Hughes FTW

  • DUde!!!!!!!!!!! you have the perfect workspace.... i just have my lap.... damn.... what about the Cintiq 21UX? Are they good too? i

  • @Constantdoodle

    Soon i will be moving up to a 21UX.

  • @brandonrobinson5150

    Why didn't you start with the 21UX in that case? You obviously had the 1K to buy the 12, just save a bit more for the 21.

  • @Constantdoodle I thought i was the only one!!! I literrally sat on the floor with my tablet! lol

  • Amazing video!!! thanks great review!

  • Why the fuck do you waste our time showing your stupid toys if supposedly this video is a review?

    What the hell do you mean PC's suck??? Maybe the sorry ass PC's you in New York suck!

  • Good tip, don't buy Cintiq in New York

  • thanks for sharing, i want to buy one to, but i'm still not sure if i should buy a big one or if a small one is enough. do you think the big one (it's really big ö__Ö) would be better?

  • @ManicPanicX

    I sold mine to get the bigger one, so go big.

  • could you get me a good one used tablet cintiq, ill send you $

  • as soon as you said pc's suck, I stopped paying attention.. : /

  • @darula033 i dunno

    lol my 5th grade teacher modled for red scull

  • funny

  • HA MAN..........Thanks for keeping it real. Good info.

  • This is great! I'm about to get one of these, so everything you said was really helpful. I'll probably get that anti-smuge thing too.

  • can you use one of these as a stand alone. If I want to travel can I just draw and paint on it without it being connected to my PC?

  • No must have PC.

  • I lost my usb cable, and my computer wont recognize the drivers without it. What should I do?

  • Call wacom for a new one.

  • i wanna get this one but on monthly fee or after if i get a summer jobb :P

  • Thanks for the advice, will look around.

  • how much is it?

  • Hi Dude, I'm a professional illustrator and have been using wacom tablets for years. But I really want a Cintiq 21 but its over FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS here in New Zealand!!! So what I want to know is, is the Cintiq 12WX large enough in your opinion? I would be using it with my Mac Pro with 23 inch display as my main screen. Looks good and a nice size to rotate etc. Is it much faster to use than a standard tablet? Cheers, Scott

  • @Scopie33 i do not know how much the shipping will cost to new zealand but if you look at sale sites you can find much cheaper than 5k dollars Oo in sweden if i order one of those it will cost me only about 2 thousand dollars and that is 3k less. i am also trying to get me one and the 21ux looks so damn nice to have but abit to expensive for me the 12wx i think is A4 or A5 kind of enough imo.. but my point was to look around if you can buy from the states at amazon or somthing.. gl :D

  • I Just sold my 12wx for an Intous4 large, after using the 12wx for the past 20 months i found that it's to small for all of my work. For many things it's just right. but for things like 3d work an doing large final pieces you need a large intous or the 21.

    And for that pricing try ebay and have it ship to you.

  • Why? Don't you like working on screen? What kind of work do you do?

  • I like the screen but I'm doing a side job. Making a game for the iPad. I need more space.

  • The Ipad doesn't seem too impressive, but I would be interested in seeing how that game turns out. If your buying electronics like these, you are truly dedicated.

  • Nice video ... I just got my wacom cintiq 12wx yesterday .. and it's been several hours non stop experimenting. I am primarily a cartoonist ... I've been drawing on it .. however need to figure out from keeping the screen jumping from 0% to 100% to like 1000% ... still on a learnin' curve with this ... hoping that i just won't be scanning everything in and touching it up with the wacom ... still stoked, still experimenting ... I've been conventional (ol' school) for sooo long

  • This guy is cool. Best video response i've seen for the Cintiq 12wx. So excited to get my own!

  • nice man!!

    but

    PC rules..hehe

  • have you painter?

    thats my tool for just drawing or painting, i leave photoshop for the fancy stuff.

  • So you must have spoken to a really nice person there....i have a cintiq 21ux and there were several problems with it...so i called them...and i had to pay 71.00 to ship mine back, and now i am without a cintiq for a couple of weeks...

  • Shit really

  • yeah man....you got really lucky....and now i am out 71.00 dollars and no cintiq, but hopefully i will get it soon....by the way nice video....

  • omg u kinda saved my life :D i was going to buy a screen protector for my (not yet bought) cintiq 12, thanks for the advices.

    (does the warranty cover scratches o.O?)

  • is this equally as good as the cintiq 21 ux or should one save money and wait to aford one? Please answer, (tryin to make it as a grafic designer!)..please

  • 21 ux bigger is better

  • 21ux ..yes is bigger and probably better..with pressure sensitivity and all..

    but for mobility..12wx is just fine..

    you choose..

  • 16' bucks for a pinkie glove, wow, when and if i decide to get one I will just buy a full silk pool glove and cut of the thumb and three fingers and rock it, ghetto but it works. Also I heard that it's best to get a bigger size 12WX because some feel that the smaller ones are to tight. I don't know but when the universal bless me with that tool I will kick ass on it with a Mac or PC. But I will always stay with the traditional way of paper, pen and ink. SUN, have fun and do good in art.

  • I see Akira! :D

  • nice review dude and especiallly the smudgeguard!! ah u helped me to find out how its called xD u know I recently watched that vid "clintiq 21ux in action" and i saw that glove but i had no idea how i cud call it to find it somewhere to buy xDD

    also nice tips! too bad i cant afford one of clintiqs yet QQ

    thanks ;)

  • cintiq* -.-

  • I love those MAC lovers: "I have an IMAC, cause PCSs suck" - ROFL

    I use my mac book pro 17 too, but hey....I still miss lots of functions windows gives my (especially that good file explorer)

    Nice review btw....

  • @Nilz4FR It always those who have a Mac say that PC sucks. But I found out that It's the Artist that makes is work. To it doesn't matter, if your good your good. But it's good to focus on the skill and not the tool. have fun with your Mac.

  • I can't wait, I'm getting mine in about a month!!!! ^.^ Sooooo Happy!!!

  • Thanks, that was very informative. =)

  • kewl stuff. I dunno about the issue you have with the photoshop tool bar (if you haven't fixed it yet). I just got a Mac laptop because I'm a graphic design student (or was..just graduated).  I love my wacom tablet as well. Don't got a fancy one like that you one got tho. Mine doesn't display the screen on the tablet.

  • Thx a lot man, I will remember all your advices

    best regards from Bulgaria :)
