Everything that happened at New York Comic-Con 2022

November 9, 2022

When it comes to comics and animation, professionals and amateurs alike know that Wacom products are an essential tool for creativity. That’s why we’ve always reserved space at cons like NYCC, and 2022 was no different!

We partnered with Graphixly to showcase the powerful combo of Clip Studio Paint and Wacom, especially with the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 27! Here’s everything that went down at New York Comic-Con 2022.

Did you know? Every purchase of a One by Wacom, Wacom Intuos, or Wacom One comes with a free trial of Clip Studio Paint Pro, and every purchase of a Wacom Cintiq or Cintiq Pro 27 comes with a free trial of Clip Studio Paint EX!

Incredible demos of Clip Studio Paint + Wacom Cintiq Pro 27

Graphixly artists CJ Han and Kiron Fan stopped by the booth to demonstrate the power of the Cintiq Pro 27 when used with Clip Studio Paint. Check out some of the incredible work they created below!

Change is scary sometimes. It also requires time. 🫠
For @adam_theillustrator, it took some time to switch the mouse over a stylus, but he never looked back. 💪
Do you remember what it was like for you? How many tries did it take you to master drawing with a tablet? What advice do you have for new users?

Time flies when you're absorbed in the details, hyper focusing on every stroke and thinking about every line. 👀🤓🧐🔍🐲
Love seeing @andrezgalviz_art taking advantage of his beautiful Cintiq Pro 24 canvas to sculpt for hours.

How many strokes to draw Rengoku? 🗡️💥❤️‍🔥
@caleo_real did this challenge and the results were..... Interesting 🤯😂
Do you count your strokes? An artist may choose to paint with as few brush strokes as possible for many reasons, including aesthetic effect, style, technique or emotional impact.

One of the most important steps in animation is BLOCKING! 
We asked @fabgioffre to walk us through his process to show you how easy it can be, especially if you're using the right tools like @toonboomanimation and a Wacom tablet (Fabio is using the Movink on this video). 
Head to Fabio's YouTube channel for the full tutorial or head to our stories to get there.
