The power of digital ink
Humans have been using ink for thousands of years to express ourselves and preserve knowledge – from plant-based paintings on cave walls to writing and illustrating foundational cultural manuscripts. In the 20th and 21st centuries, digital ink has taken this uniquely human impulse to the next level, with Wacom at the forefront. Wacom created the electro-magnetic resonance (EMR) technology that powers our devices, and we’ve been perfecting it ever since. Today, creatives worldwide use Wacom technology to empower their work through the use of digital ink.

Wacom has a pen tablet for nearly every creative pursuit. One by Wacom is perfect for the beginner or student. Wacom Intuos bridges the gap between traditional and digital, empowering digital drawing, painting, and photo editing for creatives of all levels. The new Wacom One pen tablets are convenient and customizable. And Wacom Intuos Pro is trusted by creative professionals who need the ultimate in precision, performance, and productivity.
Wacom pen displays
With a Wacom pen display, you use our pressure-sensitive pens directly on the screen for ultimate control and accuracy. Available in a range of display sizes and feature sets – from the 13” display of Wacom One, portable and perfect for beginners, to the Wacom Cintiq Pro in sizes from 16” to 27”, with best-in-class color, gesture controls, and ExpressKeys for customization – there's a Wacom pen display to empower every creator’s wildest dreams.
My art SUCKED at 19. Now Marvel, MtG, Disney, Blizzard hire me.
I began my art journey when I was 19 years old. I wanted to go to art school in college, but the artwork in my portfolio got me rejected, so I had to learn on my own. Fast forward about 20 years and today I get hired by big studios like Wizards of the Coast, Disney, Marvel, and Blizzard. It’s even come to the point now where I’m turning jobs down.

Interview with illustrator and visual development artist Lynn Chen on the #WacomBlog
"I’m still in love with my Wacom Cintiq 22. I use it for the entire process, from sketching all the way to the finished product. Since I mostly use my keyboard for hotkeys, this simple design around the drawing surface is exactly what I need — it’s sleek and minimal."

Many artists start with traditional tools before they switch to digital, and transitioning can feel daunting and even scary - making them delay it.
But is it ever too late to start?
Our friend @apolloscelticswan has some words of wisdom for those starting "late" in digital art.
When did you make the transition to digital? Was it scary? What helped you?
