Hey Wacom! I really hate this bamboo fun that I bought now, thanks for not announcing that you were making a new one two weeks before I got the "old" one.
Smiles all around, btw how do they expect me to draw or even write like that? I hold a pen on top of my ring finger with my pointer, index, and thumb stabilizing the pen. Thanks again.
@FrostbitexP No I am not. Using no eraser while you are drawing is the first lesson of the first day at your first art school. Using an eraser later, for cleaning up what you did is fine, but really, you don't need it so much, and not at all with a tool like this, useful for sketches and doodling, not for finished works.
@Forlond Yeah, but you can also use this for linework. I know some people (including myself) who doesn't have a steady hand when inking in linework. That's when an eraser would be your friend.
As I noticed, a lot of buyers of new Wacom Inkling have the same problem as I have. We ordered and payed a product almost a month ago, but they are obviously incompetent to provide the promised product within the agreed time. Some customers were informed with emails about the delays, some not, but I think that this is a great shame and immaturity for Wacom!
When I first saw this it sounded amazing... but on further thought, I realised I would be able to just scan in my artwork anyway, and not worry about my lines coming out distorted, or there being transmission errors, or accidently moving the reciever. This is far too much trouble for what it is worth.
@LobsterPotsticker how very mature of you. Your inability to argue only makes my points seem more valid. And somehow, that sketches will look instantly finished. May I point out another frustrating problem with this product; if you make a mistake in your sketch, you can't go back and erase it. You have to wait until you've finished the ENTIRE drawing, plug it into the computer, and THEN correct it. I don't know about other artists but that would really frustrate and distract me.
@LobsterPotsticker and not only that, but the fact that it turns everything into vectors doesn't eliminate the potential problems I mentioned in my first post. I would rather vector all my lines on the computer anyway (hell, it's really easy to do in photoshop and paintoolsai) than lose data on a sketch I spent ages on due to drawing to close to the reciever, or my lines being distorted, or accidently forgetting not to hold the pen too close to the nib, etc.
@Hyogail The advantage that Inkling has over scanning is that you can creates layers of the same drawing. So one drawing would have a layer of just construction lines, then another layer of detail, and another layer of shading... scanning won't do that unless you scan the same drawing over and over again.
I'm not quite understanding how this "new layer" feature functions. It seems like you have to keep track of all the layers in your head, since there doesn't look to be a display to show you what layer you're currently working on if you forget.
@mrgogs infra red give you cancer? You must be joking. It's a low frequency wave which means that it's completely harmless. If it were a high frequency wave, like gamma radiation, you would have reason to be worried.
@Hyogail yeah a bit of cheek there but that's great to hear. I'm a designer / illustrator and the Inkling is of huge interest to me. Would love to give one a proper demo but I think it's already on my list to Santa this year...
It's awesome..but I need to hold the pen near the nib .. and it still need to be 2 cm away from the wacom thingy and btw, can we erase if we drew wrongly
life is the art of drawing without an eraser. I draw with that fact in mind. Besides there is always the option of pencil sketching it first then using a pen with the inkling to make a copy if you are that concerned about making a mistake.
@theotherhalfoftheang i have heard that it uses standard refills for ball point pens in which case you can get some in bulk from Staples for really cheap and run this device for next to no extra cost.
@theotherhalfoftheang I'm seeing you're american, so it will cost about 240 dollars, if it's the same price as in France :) But I think it will be less for you.
@MizMaxter eh, it's a pen, not a pencil... so it's like sketching with a pen! Someone suggested that you can just sketch first with a pencil before tracing it with pen. However, real artists sketching fast with pen tend not to erase much, to be honest =)
@sonya8 I'm aware it's a pen. Hence my question. And of course "real" artists wouldn't tend to erase much, it's a pen. I consider myself a "real" artist, especially since I've been drawing on an almost daily basis for the last 15 years, and I still don't use pens for any sort of professional use other than to ink my pencil sketches. Why would I buy something so expensive to just draw throwaway sketches?
@MizMaxter "real artists" never erase. that is a quality of a good aritst. look at any good artist. they never erase. one of the things that is also taught in art school. you just draw over it or modify it. unless you are doing some kind of a detailed architectural drawing plan or something.
@spiritsoulmail Actually, "real artists" often use mold-able erasers, and Fiber-Castell eraser sticks with brushes, so they don't smudge their drawings. A big myth is that erasers are "bad". Have a chat will Mark Crilley (popular manga artist on YouTube), Christopher Hart (well known "How to Draw Manga" book writer), or Sherm Cohen (creator of SpongeBob SquarePants) and they'll all tell you that one of you're main drawing instruments should be a good eraser.
@MizMaxter okay.. i'm not saying erasers are bad. they can be very useful and necessary when doing detailed drawings and anime sketches. no doubt. but we are talking about everyday sketches here and the wacom gadget being shown above is mainly just for that.. if you are doing some detailed drawings, then obviously one needs to go by whatever is right for that situation. but yeah.. on a general basis, one gets good practice and skill if one does not think about erasing too much.
@spiritsoulmail I understand what you're saying, but I still am having a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around the key downfalls of the this product. I can see several great points about it, but I do think that eventually, the creators of this tool should look at the consumers comments and create something that would be able to suit not just the professionals, but also those who are beginners.
@spiritsoulmail Obviously, you're not an artist, lol. The idea that erasers are "bad," and that "real artists" don't use them is a complete myth. Take ANY drawing or art class and a good eraser (even multiple kinds of erasers!) will be top of the list! Every art teacher I've ever had and every artist I've met has said the same thing. Some teachers even have their students spend an hour on a drawing, then erase it and start all over on top just to break them out of the "eraser is bad" mindset!
@hazardmuffin the art classes you are referring to is for beginners and maybe you are one of them but once one gets more skilled you will eventually realize that one does not find the need for an eraser coz whatever he/she does is a skilled master stroke. surely as i have stated before erasers are required and necessary for detailed drawings or anything of that sort. but on a general basis one gets good practice and skill if one does not think about erasing too much. it's just common sense.
@spiritsoulmail Of course, in sketching, an artist won't be focused on erasing or perfecting detail, especially if they are more advanced artists. I totally agree with that. (I've been drawing every day for over seven years.) What I was responding to was your comment "real artists never erase." It's a rather presumptuous and broad statement.
Great idea but way to many things to be careful of so that it works properly and expensive. Wouldn't it be better for the pen to have an optical lens that detects the same path that was drawn on paper. That way you can draw in any way you want without worrying of having a good line of sight or not. Or a tablet that you can clip a paper on and have the tablet detect your sketch or drawing trough the paper and also works as a normal Wacom tablet. It would be much more cost effective than this.
@KPOPMV020HD First one describes an optical mouse. Second one would defeat the purpose of making it portable and you'll have a form of size restrain.
While we're still on topic, optical coordination tools are actually quite inefficient. What if I take the pen off the paper and place it on another location? Try that with your mouse and you'll see that the tracing on the computer is not ideal. Also the electronics are bulky.
What would be a nice feature is a "recording" option, this to make sketching videos :) I am sure engineers from Wacom already figured it out but I don't know if it is available with inkling :)
I think it's a great idea if only for the advantage of being able to put something on paper when you suddenly have a idea and you are on the go. But I'm wondering if Wacom will make you buy proprietary inks for the pen which could be expensive if you use it often. It doesn't seem practical in that sense.
I don't understand why people are asking for an eraser... IT'S A PEN! I know some ink pens can erase, but Wacom just made this product. They can have every feature possible on the first version of this...
How dumb are people here? Stop asking for an eraser! Inkling hasn't even come out yet and people are already complaining. Instead of complaining about an eraser, use your head! How about you do this... draw in pencil first, erase if you need to, then use Inkling and go over your pencil drawing with the ink... DONE! Or better yet... try it out before you start asking about a new feature when the product hasn't been released yet.
@cafecitojcv I think the bigger problem with the eraser question is that people are failing to realize that this is, for all intents and purposes, a pen. A special pen, no doubt, but a permanent, inking pen that marks like a normal pen on paper. How people are complaining that there's no eraser on this pen is beyond my understanding.
@cafecitojcv actually that people expose posible problems before the product is out, is good for the designers of the product. So they can consider them, and if posible solve them before the final product is made. That saves a lot of time and money.
@cafecitojcv with the eraser issue it's obvious you can just create a new layer and then delete the old sketch that you didn't like once it's on the computer.
ok this looks sweet, but like its been said before, will there be an eraser. you cant rub out ink. maybe a lead pen would be better and cheaper, also what about colouring in. the page will just be a huge puddle of ink, also what about having different coloured ink cartridges. its almost like buying a printer, haha :) , anyways looking forward to this :D
i have a couple of concerns and possible even suggestions. it would be nice to see it have a couple real time features from paper to mac. For instance what i need to erase on the paper can be manipulated by different setting on say photoshop. also i wold love to see it's compatibility and ease of use with the adobe suite. lastly does anyone know what the pressure to paper ratio is going to be like for shading?
I'm looking forward to someone demonstrating their recently purchased inkling and getting their opinion of how effective and easy it is to use before I rush out and spend £150 on one. As only an 'amateur' artist it would be good to know how this product compares to the tablets. So if you are an owner of one of these it would be good to hear from you.
Come on guys, this is something innovating so it may have some ergonomic issues but it's a wonderfull idea!! You can draw your sketch with pencil (so you can erase) and then do the final inking on paper. The paper feel is what i asked all the time. I will continue using my intuos4 but this I can take it with me to the college!! Well done Wacom !!
@candy, when you flip the paper you'd be flipping the sensor at the top. So shouldn't be a problem...
For 200 bucks it's gotta be worth trying out! :) (though I'd rather have a pressure sensitive ipadPRO?) 10 years of rumors of a mac tablet, and then they just made a big toy instead of a design tool... :(
Something some of you are overlooking is this isn't a demo, it is part of the instruction manual. This is a wonderful product! While I do have tablet, I have problems with the fact that what I draw is on the screen not on where I am drawing. I can't wait to see a demo :D
im not so sure about this...i naturally drag my hand on the paper when i draw, and the way i hold my pen and pencils would block the tip...plus I like to take up the entire page, and erasing would be nice (i understand that you can erase on the computer but unless you can erase what is in front of you it can get messy and confusing)
@funky3ddy It's for people who prefer the feel of working with pen and paper. You get instant feedback and it's far more accurate than a tablet, no matter how good it is. It's also cheaper than a higher end tablet like the Intuos and Cintiq range.
@funky3ddy You've obviously entirely missed the super crazed buzz among professionals. Being able to draw on any piece of paper, anywhere, with a tool small enough to put in your back pocket, and import the results digitally, and in VECTOR, is huge. Absolutely huge. I have a $2000 cintiq and I am stuck at it. Hard enough to even tilt the angle, and it feels like drawing on glass (which it is). $200 is a steal if it works as promised. And most pen tablets are clumsy, low res, expensive.
I suppose as a lefty, I'd need to put the Wacom receiver along the bottom of the page since my hand would completely block the transmissions. Looks cool though.
I think this is a pretty awesome idea! I would think most artists would want to do the actual sketching, paneling,in pencil and then do your actual line work with the wacom pen. I can already imagine all my line work looking a LOT better with this!
the 2cm distance between the receiver and the sketch is something I could live with, but the line of sight thing is gonna a be an issue, meaning that any other tool whether it be my hand or a ruler have to forcely be placed below the drawing zone, it's like drawing with handcuffs
@Aegis159 Using a receiver at all makes this a fail, but requiring line of sight and minimum distance? Livescribe pens don't require a receiver, and can record drawings as well. I want to like Wacom products but the experience of drawing on them is substandard (I have a Bamboo Pen and Touch). This product is obviously trying to bridge that gap by letting you draw on real paper but it needs to be simplified, $200 dollars for multiple devices that must remain charged and synced is too much.
@rikowal I have used an Intuos 4 and the feel of the nibs is very similar to the Bamboo, very slippery and not very paper like. My only point was needing line of sight to and second device that also needs to be charged is too much to worry about. And also what about using other media besides an inkpen? Anyway just stating my opinion, I have the utmost respect for Wacom and everything they do, as other companies don't support artists in the same way. I could be wrong and this is awesome.. maybe.

@cafecitojcv actually that people expose posible problems before the product is out, is good for the designers of the product. So they can consider them, and if posible solve them before the final product is made. That saves a lot of time and money.

@cafecitojcv That's what I always do! :D Except when I'm pensketching and that's just basic doodling.

@cafecitojcv with the eraser issue it's obvious you can just create a new layer and then delete the old sketch that you didn't like once it's on the computer.

ok this looks sweet, but like its been said before, will there be an eraser. you cant rub out ink. maybe a lead pen would be better and cheaper, also what about colouring in. the page will just be a huge puddle of ink, also what about having different coloured ink cartridges. its almost like buying a printer, haha :) , anyways looking forward to this :D

i have a couple of concerns and possible even suggestions. it would be nice to see it have a couple real time features from paper to mac. For instance what i need to erase on the paper can be manipulated by different setting on say photoshop. also i wold love to see it's compatibility and ease of use with the adobe suite. lastly does anyone know what the pressure to paper ratio is going to be like for shading?

This would be perfect for me if it was £30. maybe in ten years until then my sketchbook and scanner will have to do.

I'm looking forward to someone demonstrating their recently purchased inkling and getting their opinion of how effective and easy it is to use before I rush out and spend £150 on one. As only an 'amateur' artist it would be good to know how this product compares to the tablets. So if you are an owner of one of these it would be good to hear from you.

Come on guys, this is something innovating so it may have some ergonomic issues but it's a wonderfull idea!! You can draw your sketch with pencil (so you can erase) and then do the final inking on paper. The paper feel is what i asked all the time. I will continue using my intuos4 but this I can take it with me to the college!! Well done Wacom !!

So... what does having extra layers mean? Since you're drawing on paper, how can you tell and how does it improve use?

For example the difference in sketch and final drawing on top of that.

@candy, when you flip the paper you'd be flipping the sensor at the top. So shouldn't be a problem...
For 200 bucks it's gotta be worth trying out! :) (though I'd rather have a pressure sensitive ipadPRO?) 10 years of rumors of a mac tablet, and then they just made a big toy instead of a design tool... :(
stiingya 6 months ago
the thing is when i draw something i flip the paper in multiple different angles so its not going to be very accurate if i get one -.-
candylandftw 6 months ago
Something some of you are overlooking is this isn't a demo, it is part of the instruction manual. This is a wonderful product! While I do have tablet, I have problems with the fact that what I draw is on the screen not on where I am drawing. I can't wait to see a demo :D
Jordan71495 6 months ago
:/
im not so sure about this...i naturally drag my hand on the paper when i draw, and the way i hold my pen and pencils would block the tip...plus I like to take up the entire page, and erasing would be nice (i understand that you can erase on the computer but unless you can erase what is in front of you it can get messy and confusing)

If only this was cheaper, $250 is way too much for this thing. I don't really see what audience this product targets with that price.
Students will probably not bother wasting money and just get a pen tablet.
Professionals already have enough tools, from pen tablets to tablets PCs with active digitizer pens.
Hobbyists would just draw on a plain sheet of paper.
funky3ddy 6 months ago 5
@funky3ddy It's for people who prefer the feel of working with pen and paper. You get instant feedback and it's far more accurate than a tablet, no matter how good it is. It's also cheaper than a higher end tablet like the Intuos and Cintiq range.

munchlax0pwns 6 months ago
@funky3ddy You've obviously entirely missed the super crazed buzz among professionals. Being able to draw on any piece of paper, anywhere, with a tool small enough to put in your back pocket, and import the results digitally, and in VECTOR, is huge. Absolutely huge. I have a $2000 cintiq and I am stuck at it. Hard enough to even tilt the angle, and it feels like drawing on glass (which it is). $200 is a steal if it works as promised. And most pen tablets are clumsy, low res, expensive.

@funky3ddy It doesn't cost $250, fool
it's $199. Also everybody is going to but this. It's cheaper and much faster then a tablet.

I think if you are confident in your art you are not going mind using this device on the go!!!
great, thnx WACOM...you made me have so much fun with awesome stuff you come up with ...
Looking forward to try this one :D

I suppose as a lefty, I'd need to put the Wacom receiver along the bottom of the page since my hand would completely block the transmissions. Looks cool though.
let5ch 6 months ago
I think this is a pretty awesome idea! I would think most artists would want to do the actual sketching, paneling,in pencil and then do your actual line work with the wacom pen. I can already imagine all my line work looking a LOT better with this!

konohasappy 6 months ago 5
the 2cm distance between the receiver and the sketch is something I could live with, but the line of sight thing is gonna a be an issue, meaning that any other tool whether it be my hand or a ruler have to forcely be placed below the drawing zone, it's like drawing with handcuffs

Aegis159 6 months ago
@Aegis159 Using a receiver at all makes this a fail, but requiring line of sight and minimum distance? Livescribe pens don't require a receiver, and can record drawings as well. I want to like Wacom products but the experience of drawing on them is substandard (I have a Bamboo Pen and Touch). This product is obviously trying to bridge that gap by letting you draw on real paper but it needs to be simplified, $200 dollars for multiple devices that must remain charged and synced is too much.
jailbreaksnake 6 months ago
@jailbreaksnake Well to be fair, Livescribe pens require a special notebook and paper. I would consider that another type of receiver.

@jailbreaksnake Bamboo Pen and Touch? Man, that is babby's first tablet. Get an Intuos 4 and you will see that you get what you pay for...:D
rikowal 6 months ago
@rikowal I have used an Intuos 4 and the feel of the nibs is very similar to the Bamboo, very slippery and not very paper like. My only point was needing line of sight to and second device that also needs to be charged is too much to worry about. And also what about using other media besides an inkpen? Anyway just stating my opinion, I have the utmost respect for Wacom and everything they do, as other companies don't support artists in the same way. I could be wrong and this is awesome.. maybe.
