Doesn’t always reproduce sketches accurately
Ballpoint pen isn’t the most fun to sketch with.

Abstract: When I first saw the Wacom Inkling my reaction was “Wow!” I also thought it was too good to be true. Well, I am happy to report, after being sent a review unit by Wacom, that it is not too good to be true and the device is awesome! As an illustrator ...
