Drawing on my Cintiq 21ux - Part 3: Colors

[ermelljno]

Why did you erase the green globe to come out the drowning below instead of invert the order of levels???

[nakirush]

@ermelljno At the time I was very new to the tablet as well as digital painting. I chose to take care of my borders on a single layer so I could cheat and draw outside the lines on my other layers. It was a cheap trick.

[ermelljno]

@nakirush Ok. So you started digital drawing on a 21 Cintiq... that's what i would to do too, but i guess it's an expensive starting... I think i'll get an Intuos4... However i believe you can not have a Cintiq and do not how to use an Intuos... For example if you search for a grafic job you have to use a no-lcd tablet at work for sure... Is that mine only a poor consolation? :D

[nakirush]

@ermelljno I've done tablet work since then, it's just not my preference. Once in awhile I wish I had a regular tablet. I feel an Intuos is stronger for foundation work and the Cintiq is great for detail. My work is always a lot looser on an Intuos, where as the Cintiq is tighter. Think of an Intuos as a wet medium (loose, flowing) and the Cintiq as dry (hard-edged, controlled).

Love the music.. couldn't be better!

[rokeroheavy]

hello friend, a question, the cost you your Wacom Cintiq 21UX? I hope you tell me to buy 1, greetings colleague

[TheCosplayProfessor]

what music?

[1984nido]

You really don't deserve to have a cintiq. Your art is shit !

[xeno3d]

Awesome! getting my DTK2100 tomorrow.

Love the Final Fantasy VII music

[LDLivingDemon]

do u have a deviantART page?

[BenjieArt]

Are you able to put your reference on the other monitor and use the cintique individually? is it like using dual monitors? thanks for the vid by the way!

[nakirush]

@BenjieArt The Cintiq is a stand-alone monitor with a tablet built behind the screen. When I tried doing dual-monitors, the tablet would bug out and try to track across both screens; meaning no 1-1 drawing. This may have been corrected with Windows 7's tablet support, but I've yet to try it.

[raydarkwolf]

@nakirush Im not sure but when I tried the wacom Intuos to my dual screens you can set it to just tract one monitor.

Quite disappointing you cant run dual screen with it. >.<

[linglingturbo]

this tablet has been on backorder for like 8 months now!!! WTFFFFF!!!!!!!!!

[Bl4ckVV0lF]

You sure know what you are doing ... How many hours have you been on that thing ... It's nice seeing someone enjoying what they do ...

[SETHROGANesq]

this song is from final fantasy 7

[nickstoli]

Great work, dude!

[EruRouraito]

how do you change colors? do you use a short cut?

[IIandrokII]

Do you not see the color wheel at the bottom. . .

[Ambidextrous224]

Can you use the Cintiq21ux without connecting it to the computer? I have been wondering this for a while.

[sweetpriestesskagome]

hi, i have just purchased my first cintiq tablet and was wondering how you colour calibrated your cintiq tablet. My colour from my laptop and cintiq are completely different.

[m1ggyzzz]

TIFFFFA!!!!!

[bangbangbazooka]

OMG!!!

i just love your drawing

but the final fantasy music is just so lovely!!

[YoshiPower65]

I want one! damn! Im only 18,000 pesos away! :|

[the9thghost]

how are the colors on it? The lcd panel is actually quite old and there's lots of newer monitors with better colors. Do you notice any color lacking on it?

[Blacktini]

DOOOOD You have won me over. your a ff fan and not only that you can draw!!!! your amazing! keep up the good work hopefully I will get as good as you someday ^_^

[WooFMewMew]

You did a great job. I love your coloring skills.

[djcoco26]

Fan ff =) good job but u have to train ur drawing even if ur coloring is very well

[amaryllisjaune]

can you use it with photoshop?

[xabelincolnx]

yes

[SpectralViral]

does that program that you see on his tablet *look* any familiar

[Ravish261]

corel painter?

[SpectralViral]

yeah it is... but photoshop is the default in any comic book artists arsenal of work.

[randy106]

camera too far to enjoy the art

[befrey]

he is just showing his cintyq :P

what i should do the same if i ever get 2100 euro :/ wondering how he ever getted it on his age:/

[1982pisces]

[Provac1984]

Sold all my Nikon gear to get this screen, ordered it yesterday. Gonna be nice to unpack once it arrives!

[Gaia287]

u luky son of a bitch i envy u more then anywone else

i dont want a whole lot of things but i would love to pursue my carrea in graphic deisigner and i want a cintiq of some kind and i have 900 buks so a few hundred more and i can get a 12wx by the way u are a grat artist

[funkystyleG]

This piece of art is just beautiful!

You putted so much details and so nice work on highlights & shadows... that is really amazing!

Also... you have a nice cintiq... i believe, quite easier for you now...

I'm looking forward for buying one this month... i think the cintiq 12wx and i hope it will not be wasted money...

Again, great job!!!

[Karadjordje2]

Does it have to be connected to the computer?

[nakirush]

Yes. It's a tablet monitor, so it will plug into the USB and monitor ports on your computer.

[jrockpunk1]

lol. 21UX says it all

[czarlez]

wow! how big is that?!?!

[nakirush]

It's a 21 inch LCD

[Gaia287]

could u tell me how to get this because as an admirer of ure work i am thouroughly anticapting doing great computer gens

plz tell me how to get it

[luckyhat4]

I was hoping to get one, but I know that only Wacom makes these products, and the amount you have to pay is honestly an extortion. How can you charge 2500 USD when gearheads are MAKING THEIR OWN for 500 dollars or less?

[HippoKissez]

I myself think 1000 dollars for the 12inch is like 'omgosh'

I know its awesome and all but is the stuff used in it and all really that much?

But hey I want it bad and will probably have it in 2 months

[carlusdarienus]

I can do that if I have wacom cintiq!! but maybe sooner I will have that it still costs 4000NZD here!! and I need to buy a car first for my everyday use.

[moobie1010]

I wouldn't get another cintiq for anything. They are little more than a big assed intuos bolted onto a 21 inch monitor. Big LCDs cost $280 now. There is no reason for an intuos to cost $2500. It is worth $900 at the most. Hold off until wacom stops gouging. Better technology will replace these awkward and massive beasts in no time.

[diormija]

have you found any better ones yet, or cheaper ones yet. because i think that they are a very handy thing. especially if you are an Animator For ILM and it cuts your work time down by hours. if you do find any pleas tell me i would be greatly thankful.:)

[Raznorr]

Respect.

[tonihott]

Could you upload a clip, in closeup, of the drawing process in realtime on your cintiq? (I mean, not speeded up). That would help me get a better idea of the tablet. Also, have you tried Artrage? It has some of the best pencil tools I have ever seen, but the lack of a good smearing tool alas Photoshop prevent me from using it regularly, anyhow is an amazing piece of software and I'd love to watch you with it on your Cintiq.

[tonihott]

Fantastic, I enjoyed your picture as much as I enjoyed watching you painting it, and you music choice is beautiful, could you tell me who composed it?

I'm seriously thinking about buying a cintiq, I wanted to since many years ago, but prices in Spain are very high for wacoms, so now with the new 12wx I have seen the light, Have you tried it? maybe is too small? I actually have an Ultrapad a5 I bought in 1998.

I'd like to see more art sessions from you! ;)

[nakirush]

Thanks for the comment, tonihott!

The music was composed by Uematsu Nobuo for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

As for the Cintiq 12wx, I haven't personally used it. However, speaking from experience, I can say you won't be disappointed by the quality Wacom puts into their products. If it's in your price range, I'd say get it. Size wise it will be about the same as drawing on a piece of copy paper, or a small sketchpad.
