Some quick sketches I've done with it (including some from a very jolty train!): The rubber tip is soft, so gives when you hold it against the surface and you don't have to push down very hard (trying hard not to throw in a "that's what she said" right here). For that price I would have a liked a little case for it or something!Ĭomparison of the tip with a Wacom pen. £6 for A PEN, are you serious right now). When you're using it, you kind of forget that it's just an overpriced stick to poke at the screen with because it feels like a proper pen! Talking of price, it's $29.99 in the US, but of course in the UK I had to pay £35.90 (which included £6 for shipping from Wacom's EU location. It's weighty and solid, so it feels nice to hold in your hand. I did find it a lot more accurate than using my hand and drawing with it much more natural. There is no pressure sensitivity and the larger rubber tip takes a little getting used to. I've been playing with it obsessively for a few days and I'm really pleased! Let me say first of all that this is no graphics tablet substitute. Wacom know what they're doing in the digital drawing arena, right? I looked in to the Pogo stylus, but when Wacom announced their offering I thought I'd wait it out. If I was going to work that hard at something I would just do it on my desktop with a proper graphics tablet! I wanted something that I could make quick sketches on when I'm out, so that I could occasionally lose the sketchbook and lighten my handbag load (I can't seem to leave the house without camera/ipad/kindle/sketchbook combo which gets HEAVY). I've seen people make finger painted masterpieces, but that sure does seem like a lot of work. It feels weird, my hand gets in the way, it just doesn't work. I'd been looking into styluses for a while, because while I find the idea of drawing on the ipad really appealing, in reality I can't draw with my finger. A couple of days ago I bought the Wacom Bamboo Stylus for my ipad.
