The power of digital ink

Humans have been using ink for thousands of years to express ourselves and preserve knowledge – from plant-based paintings on cave walls to writing and illustrating foundational cultural manuscripts. In the 20th and 21st centuries, digital ink has taken this uniquely human impulse to the next level, with Wacom at the forefront. Wacom created the electro-magnetic resonance (EMR) technology that powers our devices, and we’ve been perfecting it ever since. Today, creatives worldwide use Wacom technology to empower their work through the use of digital ink.

Every artist has their own creative ritual, whether it’s the perfect cup of tea, a morning walk to clear the mind, or that burst of inspiration that hits at just the right moment. 🫖🕯️🎧

Maybe it's lighting the perfect candle to set the mood, or sketching out ideas on an old notebook. Whatever it is, these little essentials set the stage for our best work.

For me, it's all about my Wacom tablet.

Wacom has teamed up with my club, @wearethedesignkids, to make sure students have the right tools from day one. With the right gear in hand, we can build our own creative rituals and refine our craft.

So, what’s a must-have in your creative ritual? Maybe a special sketchbook, a cozy corner, or the perfect playlist?

🎨✨ Navigating license agreements as an artist can feel like a maze. Too often, we’re faced with contracts that lean heavily in favor of clients, leaving us with little protection.

For artists like Zeynep Alpay, finding a way to make these agreements fair and transparent has been a true game changer. Now she can focus on what she does best, creating art, while the details are handled with Yuify.
