Video: Digital Drawing and Sketching of Cartoons and Comics on the Wacom Cintiq Tablet (YouTube)
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009Santa Claus and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Cartoon.
“Cheers Old Friend!”
Here is another video of me drawing a quick sketch and coloring it in Autodesk SketchBook Pro software. I am using a Wacom Cintiq digital tablet screen on this one.
A wonderful tool which I can wholeheartedly recommend to any professional illustrator, graphic designer or cartoonist.
I made occasional cuts to stay within the 10 minute length limit imposed by YouTube so the drawing jumps along miraculously a few times, but I hope the steps I took are still clear.
As always I am posting the finished drawing below. I hope you enjoy the video.
