Reviews for Wacom Inkling are in

Submitted by on

Reviews are in for the Wacom Inkling on Amazon.

They are mixed, with some pretty bad. There's one with a video comparing a scan with the Inkling's rendition and it doesn't make the Inkling look good.

Skottie Young bought it, tried it and will be returning it.

Below's a video review that shows the positive side of Inkling. Looks like it's not bad for sketching. You can check out the guy's review and pictures on his blog.

Review: Winsor & Newton Watercolour Field Box Set

Submitted by on

The Watercolour Field Box is one of the many 12 half pan sets from Winsor & Newton.

This field box can be sold with either student grade Cotman or the Artists' Watercolour grade. The packaging are different for both, of course, as with the price.

The 12 colours included are

  • Winsor Lemon
  • Winsor Yellow
  • Winsor Red
  • Permanent Alizarin Crimson
  • French Ultramarine
  • Winsor Blue (Green Shade)
  • Winsor Green (Yellow Shade)
  • Yellow Ochre
  • Burnt Sienna
  • Raw Umber
  • Titanium White
  • Ivory Black

Titanium White is pretty useless so you can swap it out with any of your preferred colour. Maybe Ivory Black can go as well.

Wacom Inkling

Submitted by on

Wacom has just introduced a rather interesting product called Inkling. Kudos for coming up a product that mimics the tactile feeling of drawing.

It consist of a receiver that you clip to your drawing surface such as a notebook, and a Wacom ballpoint pen. While you're drawing, the receiver will record your lines — your drawing — and allow you to open them digitally after you transfer to your computer via USB.

The retail price is set to be US$199. I hope they don't charge ridiculous prices for their ink cartridge.

Would you buy it?
