It\u2019s a veritable sea of people, colors and activities. Here, people watching isn\u2019t just a casual pastime. It\u2019s pretty much a requirement. If you are going to spend a full day at Comic-Con, be prepared to bump into Pikachu, not the same one, at least 500 times. \u201cHey! Didn\u2019t I just see\u2026never mind.\u201d The show can be overwhelming at times. Don't fret. There is a cure.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1879 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/07\/sdcc-pikachu-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/07\/sdcc-pikachu-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/07\/sdcc-pikachu-480x640.jpg 480w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/07\/sdcc-pikachu.jpg 686w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>\n\nThe Wacom booth, Hall G, booth #5336, is a mini-oasis where you can come draw on our latest pen tablets and creative pen displays. It\u2019s a fabulous place to escape and to learn more about, not only your own drawing skills, but the whole digital process that goes into creating today\u2019s comics, toys and collectibles. This year, Wacom has assembled another great group of digital artists to inspire Comic-Con attendees with their amazing drawing talents and share stories on such things as life in the studio, character development, tips and tricks, etc. Questions are encouraged, so feel free to ask our presenters anything about their career in the comics industry. Artists will be drawing on a Wacom wide-format Cintiq creative pen display and their work will be projected on a large screen for all to see. It\u2019s always a treat to see what these talented artists produce in such a short period of time. Additionally, it\u2019s a great way to see the role Wacom products play in the life of a comic artist.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1881\" src=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/07\/SDCC-mikeatniel890x400.jpg\" alt=\"Mike Atniel\" width=\"890\" height=\"400\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/07\/SDCC-mikeatniel890x400.jpg 890w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/07\/SDCC-mikeatniel890x400-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/07\/SDCC-mikeatniel890x400-768x345.jpg 768w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/07\/SDCC-mikeatniel890x400-480x216.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/>\n\nSome of the artists presenting this year are: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dccomics.com\/talent\/alex-sinclair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alex Sinclair<\/a>, DC Comics colorist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/idrawhomer\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Atniel<\/a> of <em>The Simpsons<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dankatcher.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dan Katcher<\/a> from <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shoptuesday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuesday Bassen<\/a>, illustrator and apparel designer, <a href=\"https:\/\/lukemcgarry.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Luke McGarry<\/a>, creator of <em>Sad Chewie<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/peterhanstyle\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peter Han<\/a>, instructor at Art Center College of Design, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sanfordgreene\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanford Greene<\/a>, Marvel, Image Comics, Dark Horse and DC, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/themaddhattr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joel Santana<\/a>, renowned freelance illustrator.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1882\" src=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2019\/07\/SDCC-Twashington-890x400.jpg\" alt=\"Tony Washington at SDCC\" width=\"890\" height=\"400\" title=\"\">\n\nComic-Con runs from July 17 \u2013 21.
