  • ehmm not offence but. this guy draws really bad... he bought that wacom because he got the money or he actually use it as artist or professional and here he just joke around???

  • @bluaaahhhh

    I'm not offended by your statement... I'll admit I'm not a great digital artist. But I take issue with your ignorant question, did I just buy a $5000 Wacom Cintiq to doodle?

    NO! READ THE DESCRIPTION!!!

    I. BUILT. IT. MYSELF. FOR LESS THAN $300

    Many months of design and fabrication went into this project.

  • i want to start using tablet, i saw Wacom pen touch, its cheap and have good reputation, but i think it too small O_o or its just my impression?

  • @xato909 I've just got one, it's a bit cramped if you go near the edges of the picture/tablet but seems pretty decent for just starting out

  • Glove. K, Thx, Bye.

  • I hope that tablet has higher quality than this video :P

  • cool, watch how i draw^^

  • Correction... Not all computers have a USB port. Generally after 2001 all computers do.

  • I give this video a +1 because you sing and make happy noises while you draw!

  • For those who are not greedy enough to take a shit load of their hard earned cash and aimlessly throw it at these massive corporations. I recommend you learn how to build your own tablet, plenty of video tutorials out there, just type in what you want, seek and deeeestroy! who knows maybe you'll create the next digital revolution with your adapted invention! if this inspired you then i'm entitled to a 99.9% share!

  • and a mustache .. :3

  • why are lcd tablets so expensive whereas the components are ultra common and cheap ?!

    an ipad costs 500$ yet it is a full computer, with cpu, graphic card ect... not just a screen. and it's still cheaper than a monitor and a graphic tablet bought together !

    a full hd monitor 150$

    a graphic tablet 200$ max

    why can't we excpect a tablet monitor for less than 500 $ ?

  • @zecle

    The short answer: Market economics.

    Companies will charge as MUCH as people are willing to pay...

    Professionals in any trade will pay big money for a high grade tool.

  • @Metapharsical convenience too

    and also most people have no idea how much it costs them to make the things.

    or how cheap it would be to make their own

  • @Metapharsical the problem with that right there is i am a technology person and so is my mom but we dont have enough darn money grrrrr lol i need to win the lottery lol my mom is getting me the bamboo pen and touch tablet for very cheap(thank god to ebay) lol how much was that thing you were useing

  • @zecle becuase you have to think about creating it and these are SPECIALLY DESIGNED you can just take apart a graphics tablet and put it on top of a lcd screen, there is much different technology going into these than you think,

  • @RhodderzX i know i cannot. of course they are specially designed. i'm not talking about putting 2 complete finished products together... but... really ? is using a lcd glass whose surface matches EXACTLY the Active surface of a graphic tablet really a different technology ??

  • @RhodderzX i will rather go with an argument someone gave me on another video: there are not enough customers for this kind of stuff so they have to balance in order to not lose money...

    in other words , it's OUR fault lol.. if we purchased tablet monitors instead of trivial graphic tablets, the prices may go down...

  • @zecle If you can find the parts used then a graphic tablet can be made for less than $500. Not all tablets are created equally. If you just want to doodle then a tablet with 512 levels of sensitivity can be found relatively cheap. If you want 1024 levels expect to pay more. Also, the size of the tablet make the price fluctuate. You also have to consider paying for the labor of making one. Remember this is custom piece of equipment and not mass manufactured.

  • @zecle Ipads don't have pressure and angle sensitivity. But yeah ut's too expensive and the tablet is like 4years old now if not older...

  • how much does it cost?

  • i want a tablet!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What tablet is this one? I enjoy it very much. 0.0

    How much was it?

    I MUST HAVE IT. :l

  • are there any small tablets that allow you to see the computer screen on them?

  • @XxLightNTheDarknessX

    None smaller than the Cintiq 12"... You could make one, but bear in mind that a small screen is going to be aggravating to do any real work on. Though the resolution of the Wacom pads is VERY high in comparison to the screen.

  • @Metapharsical how expensive is that?i really shouldn't get that much of an expensive one since at the moment it would just be for personal use.

  • @XxLightNTheDarknessX ouch...i checked the price...that definitely would lighten the wallet. maybe i need to look at other options.

  • @XxLightNTheDarknessX You are not the only one, >_> If you run into anything plz let me know, I will love you forever!! @_@ not to sound creepy or anything. XD

  • @lolvely1 sorry to dissapoint but i sorta just settled for a wacom bamboo pen tablet. doesn't work the same as this one but i like it so far(yeah for like the two days i've had it XP lol)

  • @XxLightNTheDarknessX Sigh Unfortunetly I'm not ready to fork out 1000 $_$ for a graphic tablet just yet, but I was thinking of settling for the bamboo for right now. I'm not giving up!! there has to be one Graphic tablet in this big god greeen world that has a screen on it!!! There HAS TO BE!!! O_O

  • do you have to have photoshop or can you use other painting softwares like the simple windows paint or gimp 2.6?

  • The Wacom software interfaces with Windows and Mac operating systems. So it works as a mouse as well as having pressure-sensitive abilities in software that specifically supports the Wacom tablets. For example photoshop... As for Gimp, I'm not sure, but it might have pressure-sensitivity.

  • @horizonwolf1 Use Corel Painter 11. Cheap and just kicks Adobe Photoshop out of competition :)

  • you should give up on drawing and give that tablet to us.

  • hey man great video, where can i get one?

  • how did you combine a LCD with a wacom tablet?

  • Damn that shit is big !

  • do-doo-doooo-doo do do dodooo...

  • Great! How much is that?

  • "but she plucks her eyebrows too much" hahahaha

  • could you tell us what monitor (exact model)you used? and also do you get any jitter? Thanks very nice Job.

  • Comment removed

  • Oh sweet okay, So how is the jitter? I got a cintiq 12wx, but im thinking of making one like this. I really dig your case. Do you have a detailed write up on materials and stuff anywhere?

  • Hey Metapharsical, I was curious, does your DIY cintiq have the whole screen as the working area? I thought that it would only work as big as the tablet was, rather it be 4x6 or A4 size or whatever. How did you make it use the entire 22inch LCD? What tablet did you use?

  • The screen is backed by a 12x18 Intuos3 which is almost exactly the dimensions of a 22" 16:10 ratio monitor. Just a few mm's of sensor left beyond the screen.

    I really gotta put new videos up now that I have painted and chromed the stand. I'll do a better job showing off the drawing surface as well.

  • wish i had that tablet, how much was it?

  • oh, I didn't buy it. I built it myself, combining an LCD and a Wacom drawing tablet.

    Google DIY Cintiq and Bongofish and you'll find the forum that got me started. They're very helpful.

    If you're lucky, you can find the parts for cheap and make your own [smaller] one for less than $200, maybe alot less if you're lucky.
