when i was 5th grade i dream of a having one of those drawing tabs with screens but after getting my first tablet (which was a genius tab) in my 1st year in college then getting a bamboo tab 2 years later, i dont seem to crave for those cintiq tabs anymore, i mean, you draw on the screen and your hand and arm is on the way of what you're drawing?????

well i guess i'll be able to draw more precisely but im already used to my pen and touch so why should i want more?

unless theres some spooky magical effect cintiqs are blessed with and makes the owners hella pro

but then again, skill depends on the person, not the tool

so why should i get hyped about it?

ps. the reason why i brought this up because today, one of the professors of the higher classmen has her cintiq with her and we came in the room because we were to occupy it next, and a bunch of our boys gathered around in awe at the prof's table as they drool in the sight of the cintiq tab while i just sat on my seat not having even a pinch of excitement nor envy nor craving over it

Well, I previously used to wok on a Bamboo Manga and recently made the switch over to a Cintiq 13HD. While the work quality doesn't magically get better I do think a Cintiq is indeed better because:

1. I'm looking at a screen that has significantly reduced glare compared to my laptop screen which makes drawing for extended hours far more comfortable.
2. You can turn the tablet like you would a sketchbook to draw lines at angles your hand might feel awkward in when the tablet is straight, which is a problem I found in the Bamboo that bothered me greatly because I was twisting my hand all over.

I suppose that's why I really enjoy using a Cintiq over a Bamboo and I don't regret spending that money to make a switch. It feels a lot more natural as well and my inking seems a lot smoother than with a Bamboo.
