Cintiq... where have you been all my life...

Okay... I've just confessed to my girlfriend... that I love the Cintiq more. The Cintiq is to the Intuos, as the Intuos is to the mouse. My fellow artists, if you haven't yet tried it, let me try to free your mind with my exact words when I first used it: "dude..." (draw, draw...) "DUDE..." (draw, undo, draw...)

Here's my first sketch(which now means a totally different thing when using the Cintiq) :

Okay, the sketch isn't that great... but I had a lot of fun doing it! Isn't that what drawing's all about???

*Edit: Okay, I corrected my misspelling of "Cintque". No one bothered to tell me?

That feeling you have with the Cintiq is EXACTLY the feeling I got when I started drawing on my tablet laptop! Now regular Intuos tablets feel like shackles. Drawings are meant to be at the tip of your pen!

Well, my wife would mind telling her I love my Intuos more than her, less than spending those 2000$ in a Cintiq *drool*

Awesome girlie there. And the Cintiq does rock, If only i didn't just buy my new computer for 2/3rds the cost i would get one to, (when well i turn the other check and buy it, No one ever regrets it.!)
