Bamboo Art: Part II

Aah, yes part two. Last post was about digital art. Now I will focus on Bamboo. No, not the plant that panda's eat bamboo. Wacom Bamboo Tablets. They are fantastic.

Please explain.
Well aren't you excited today.
I am interested.
Yes, well I'm about to tell you. I'm always looking for new art methods. I love drawing and painting and am open to trying anything. So when I discovered the world of digital art, you know I had to try it. I already own Photoshop Elements, as my mother is a big photographer. In digital art you can scan a sketch and color it in, or do it completely from scratch. I, as the newbie digital artist, just colored in a sketch. It looked fine, but nothing like I wish it would. I figured it was because I had a mouse instead of a tablet. I've always wanted a tablet. They're pretty much a flat... tablet, with an attached pen that you can use instead of a mouse. You can sketch straight onto the computer, and it has much more control than a mouse.
So I Googled it (I love Google!) and found Wacom Bamboo tablets. Wacom is a very good and trustable tablet maker and Bamboo tablets are one of their most recent projects. There are a few varieties including Bamboo Fun, Bamboo Touch, and Bamboo Craft. After delving into research I discovered the best option for me: Bamboo Pen. Bamboo Pen is a simple tablet using just a pen like tool that you touch to the tablet surface, being able to navigate, ink documents, and draw in programs like PhotoShop.
One of the coolest things about Bamboo Pen is that is comes with Corel Painter Essentials 4. In this cool program you can use over 90 different brushes to do many cool tasks. You can turn your photos into paintings, or do your own digital art on a blank canvas. This is exactly what I need, and apparently it has even more options than my Photoshop Elements. Lovely.
You're right, it totally does sound like an ad now.
: P The absolute best thing about this product is the price. I was looking through other tablets and they were coming up at around 500 dollars or more! And the Bamboo pen is only $69! I can totally afford that. An amazing deal for an amazing product. Plus the site had cool videos : )
There is a very big chance that I will be purchasing this product. I will update you on the news if/when I do!
This time I'm not ending it with "Ain't that dandy?"
But you just did! ROOOAAAR!!!!
