How to Work From Home When You’re Organized…Or Not

By Melissa Ashcraft |
March 20, 2020

Here at Wacom, we have a band of professional artists who come with us to events and tradeshows and offer their expert ideas and insights in using Wacom products for their art. TheOneWithBear (aka Sarajean) is one of our traveling crew and she’s an expert in many things: Clip Studio Paint, Wacom, gaming, and consuming gigantic burritos at midnight. (It’s this last quality we most admire.)

After 10 years as a professional artist, we knew she would have a lot to say about working from home. She kindly put together this video with her tips for working from home. And like a true pro, she offers tips for those who love to follow the rules…and a more realistic look at life when you’re working from home.

Tech she uses:

You can catch her streaming on Twitch and see her work on Instagram.

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.
