My first few paying jobs were done the ‘old fashioned’ way by drawing a pencil draft, inking with a marker pen, colouring, mounting and delivering the work by hand or post.

I do know that some of the cartooning organisations that are sponsored by Wacom have them available for play at conferences though. I'll ask around and see if any one I know uses one regularly... A question: Why do you use Painter to ink and not Photoshop? Thanks for your comments. G’day Karbo,

I’ve never seen the Cintiq on display in a shop anywhere, so have never had a chance to play with one myself. I do know that some of the cartooning organisations that are sponsored by Wacom have them available for play at conferences though.

I’ll ask around and see if any one I know uses one regularly…

A question: Why do you use Painter to ink and not Photoshop?

Thanks for your comments.

It's very annoying to work with Photoshop, using a lot of layes... So if you want to build real fast machine... Buy 2 GB of RAM 2) Also it's hard for me to draw digitally... Now i draw in paper, then do inking in Corel Painter, and colors in Photoshop - in my opinion the best product for coloring... But it's much easier to correct some perspective and proportions bugs digitally, so i wanna try Cintiq 21... Unforunately, here in Russia it costs a lot... over $3800... and there's no place to try it first... Could you help me to find overveiw from professionl painter or cartoonist? Anyway... The Tablet is necessary... WACOM is the best choise i think... If you want to draw... not just use it for presentations or photo adjust... You better buy Wacom A5 Graphire 3... I think it's the best choise for this money... 3) About monitor... I use CRT Iiyama Diamondtron; '19... I just like colors on it... Very juicy! :) So, I think CRT is very good if you have a lot of work with color. I use standard PC based on Athlon 3200 , 1Gb, with Wacom Intuos 3 A4… and i’ve got some thinkings:
