Wacom’s new tablet/screen extension tool is a remarkable piece of technology that will thrill your budding artist, photographer, illustrator, or everyday doodler. Wacom has been producing pen technology for years. Artists have been able to use their pen on an accompanying solid tablet instead of a mouse to draw with a more familiar tool. Now let’s jump into the future, as Wacom clearly has. During this testing cycle, our testers were blown away by something no one had seen or even thought could be done. This new tablet becomes an extension of your laptop or desktop screen. Now, when you grab the included touch pen, you use tools like pens, paintbrushes, palette knives, and more to draw directly onto the digital image or just a blank page. You can use an existing image that you open up or just start with a blank slate. You can prop it up on a nice angle using the feet extensions, or take it on your lap and let the creativity flow. When paired with powerful products from companies like Adobe (there are free trials offered with the purchase of each unit), the ability to create and express yourself jumps to an entirely new level. Our testers were wide-eyed and in disbelief both at what they could do and how much fun they were having. Being handed an opportunity to access so many drawing options and the entire spectrum of colors and shapes to work with was a bit overwhelming at first. But the Wacom One tablet is so easy and intuitive to use that that quickly melts away. Those first tentative steps are quickly replaced with open-ended creativity that begins to flow easily.
