So plunked down the $2000 I barely had to make that leap into true professional hardware, and I’m so glad I did.
STORYBOARD QUICK STUDIO 6 UPGRADE
But 10 years ago, I was in a place where I was all of a sudden drawing very regularly for more than 8 hours a day on an original 6×9 Intuos tablet (another device that served me so well in it’s time) and it became clear that I would need to upgrade my hardware for the sake of my neck and back, if nothing else. Drawing on a Wacom display screen, whether 10 years ago or today, apparently isn’t for everyone. Thus I want to take a moment to honor these great tools, which technically are still with us, and great testimonials for the usefulness and longevity of Wacom devices, though now formally decommissioned and placed into storage.

Additionally, I’d STILL been using my old stable workhorse, my trusty Cintiq 20WSX, as a ‘home’ setup (with my 2008 Mac Pro) – I loved this thing and can’t imagine where I’d be in my career without it. A couple of years ago, I posted about my ‘new’ Cintiq companion – new, at least, when I got it, and worked well for onsite work – now, though still functioning, feeling a bit left behind, since nowadays too many colleagues are sporting newer Cintiq Companion 2’s and leaving me feeling ancient and crusty. This is a post about my new digital studio, but to put the excitement I have for this setup in context, I think it’s a great idea to backtrack a bit.

My New Mobile Studio: Wacom MobileStudio Pro and MacBook Pro My New Mobile Studio Pro and Macbook Pro Setup To provide some context for the boards, the spots involve a “mystery” to be solved, when a friend comes over, and helps her forgetful buddy remember what chore/product she was using moments before. You get what you pay for! But in general, I nearly never recycle drawings 🙂 Not that it’s unreasonable to recycle art when the client puts an unreasonable deadline in front of you. Oh, you didn’t notice? Neither did the client.
When your job is only 4 hours long, every minute counts. You might also notice- I recycled some of the poses! I had to, to save time. Saved a ton of time this way, and still looks good! Of course, the humorous, non-serious nature of the spots was compatible with this approach- but I wouldn’t be able to use this technique on just any project. If you look at the frames, I’ve managed to color them without coloring the whole image- leaving lots of white space in reserve as “highlights” and then as just negative space, worked out really well in this context. In this job, you really have to be able to use every trick in book, and then some. I knew that my normal approach wouldn’t work, so, what kind of approach could? Since the nature of the spot didn’t require perfect color, that meant I could take a risk and try something new- and while I don’t really disclose techniques in this blog, i believe the frames speak for themselves when I say, this different approach turned out great. That’s mostly BS but there is some truth to the notion that when you are challenged with something that seems impossible, you start to think outside the box. Of course, being a great storyboard artist is all about adapting and turning weaknesses into strengths, and of course, being the total zen master, it’s all just flow anyway. This is a quick job that needed 3 spots boarded, with COLOR, in half a day! Of course, I’m used to needing to draw quickly, but color usually really slows things down.
