Wacom Pro Pen lineup

Wacom Pro Pen slim Comparison and Review

By Pamela Park |
March 12, 2019

Our favorite IT security manager and tech reviewer, John Ferry from the YouTube channel Create Now Sleep Later reviews the newest addition to the Wacom Pro Pen lineup – the Wacom Pro Pen slim and compares it to the Pro Pen 2 and Pro Pen 3D. See how this new pen stands up to John’s rigorous testing.

 

About John Ferry

John is currently a full-time IT Security manager who studied art as his first love. Over the years, John decided to focus on the things he loved most, and his YouTube channel has organically evolved to hardware reviews of creative products. John has created a unique niche with his reviews; with his extensive IT experience, he crafts his reviews as though he was an IT person tasked with supporting the device. By drawing on his artistic background, he deftly blends the technical specs of the device with what an artist would care about when using it.

John is a firm believer that if you do what you were meant to do, the universe will help you along. He is super responsive to folks that have questions on the devices he reviews and freely offers help and troubleshooting advice.

Along with growing his YouTube channel, John is  looking forward to dedicating more time to illustration, creating reviews and finishing his first manuscript which he hopes to self-publish soon.

Have you ever tried masking out a person using a mouse? 🫢 @ruthiesmagicalcamera did and it really sucked. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Ruthie likes to have full control over every single detail on her photo composites, and editing with a Wacom pen allows her to get really deep in the details, with razor sharp precision, as if she were painting over her photos 💃✍️📸🌾
Check her out trying out the new #WacomMovink!

PS. The Wacom Movink is now on sale!

Enjoy this stylized illustration created by @bonehaus inspired by his recent trip to Amsterdam. ⁣
⁣
He goes full circle, collecting inspiration and reference, sketching in #AdobePhotoshop, illustrating in #AdobeIllustrator, and then right back to #photoshop for finalizing color and texture 🔄✌️⁣
⁣
Once in Illustrator, Kirk outlines and traces the major shapes of his sketch, then removes the lines and focuses instead on shapes and shadows. ⁣
⁣
"I start building in more shadows and more details to help separate any of the shapes that are struggling without that outline. I like my art without a ton of outline, so I prefer the challenge of using some shadows and highlights and stuff to separate them.”⁣
- @bonehaus⁣

Head to the #WacomBlog to read the full interview!

How do you keep inspired during ordinary days?
@buttersketch shares a glimpse into her creative process, full of graphic novels, picture books, music, journaling and art materials.

"“I really love bribing myself with new materials,” she confesses with a smile. “I think it helps my brain bypass the anxiety of starting, because now I’m focused on just playing.”
