Ever since we released the Wacom Movink creative pen display in 2024, we’ve been getting rave reviews. Creatives across all industries appreciate its OLED display, portability, and the Wacom Pro Pen 3.
One artist whose opinion we sought was Daniel Ibanez, a fine artist and illustrator who works both traditionally and digitally. His digital technique has been heavily informed by his approach to traditional painting. Light, both literal and symbolic, is the core driver of his work (alla prima or direct painting) and his favorite subject matter. He recently participated in a workshop we did with Escape Motions about their incredible digital painting software, Rebelle 7.
While the above workshop was primarily about using the Wacom Movink with Rebelle 7 software, we’re excited that he decided to do a video specifically focused on a review of the pen display itself. Here’s what he had to say.
“I’ve been testing this wonderful device out for the last 10 days,” he begins, “and I’m a huge fan! This review covers both hardware and software and gives my subjective take of the painting experience.”
Some of Daniel’s favorite features:
- The color accuracy of the display. “One of my favorite things about this device. Even though the resolution is only 1080p, the screen is OLED. This means that the color reproduction and the brightness and the inky blacks all come together to make a very handsome display. The screen looks fantastic.”
- How lightweight and portable it is. “The other big asset is how portable and lightweight this product is. Itβs genuinely shocking how thin and feather light Wacom have managed to make this tablet.”
- Wacom Pro Pen 3. “It’s got one of the best pens I’ve ever usedβ¦ and the drawing experience is second to none.”
