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."
