HI, Minasang, Kaka, last time agreed that the CTL-690 urine to inflate the digital tablet wacom Intuos is now on schedule.
Start with guessing which animation this is? Tips, singing in the outer space to sing fighter away! Hahaha, guess please reply to the comment, Kaka will open the answer 哟
First talk about the motivation to buy this board, have to say, Kaka is an impulse shopping classmates, vulnerable to the influence of the outside world, this time tempt me is a book.
Oriental project
The introductory introduction to Intuo's board is simply a fat in front of the fox and there is no reason to eat it. In fact, before I was greedy and cheap, I also bought a painted king board. It was really cheap, but it was only 300+. However, the effect was particularly poor. Sensitive and insensitive, and it was not smooth, it was often difficult to draw a coherent one. Disconnected N times without drawing a pen, now almost thrown away. So basically, more than 300 of these people have gone for a fight. Here you are encouraged to say one thing. The money on the board is still spent. Do not smash the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.

My sister-in-law says that this book will surely receive Amway fee from wacom, and Kaka agrees.
The models introduced in the book, I have long grass on the CTH680. In fact, the tablet is dominated by two major manufacturers, one is wacom and the other is friend base. Friends of the base is a domestic brand, founded in 1998, the price is economic, 300 + ~ 700 + have transactions. However, from the point of view of the users who have purchased, the quality of Friends of the basic base, many students are first to buy Friends of the base, and finally could not stand to embrace wacom arms. It's a bit like beginning to buy a big Android, and finally included Joe's helpers. (Ha, I'm half a fake fruit powder too)
Wacom is a Japanese brand with 33 years of experience. It specializes in the development of digital tablets. Walt's board is also used in Disney animation production. The wacom rivers and lakes enjoy a high status and are not respectable. Indeed, wacom's qualifications are here.
Going back to my decision process, first of all I think that the introductory child is good enough to buy Intuos. The highest resolution of the intuos series is up to 0.01mm, and the intuos pro series is up to 0.005mm. The introductory classmates are unfamiliar with the control of the board. The resolution of the board is not so important, as long as the board is not delayed, smooth sensing action is OK. So, I'm pretty sure that I don't need to use pro, so the first one is the intuos series; the other board size is very important, because the digital painting is on such a board, if the board is small, there is a feeling of overstretched, not A few strokes went to the edge, stuck, and all kinds of bad mood. CTH 680 size is Medium. So the question is, how big is Medium? Probably so big
Wacom medium size tablet reference
In fact, the size of a magazine is about 21.6×13.5cm. The size of Medium is just fine.
The Pidianpidian went to the big Taobao Kanban, and made some comments. It said that the CTH 680 (1000+RMB) and the CTL 690 (800+RMB) are just a function of an eraser, which is about 200 points worse. +RMB, as an entry level, I chose CTL 690 without much struggle. Just at the time this T-mall was engaged in 8.18 activities, activity price of 829, and then reduced the full coupon by 30 yuan, to the price of 799, and can spend 3 interest-free season. Happy underground single!
PS: In the shop, there are some packages for the wireless module on the board, but I also looked at the evaluation and said that this wireless module is very tasteless, so I didn't buy it, and my classmates don’t have to pay for it. (But what I want most is the wacom number screen, which is the combination of the board and the screen, but these are really expensive, about 1w+, definitely a professional touch level, and other students who hold the psychology of playing tickets. If you don't stick to your heart, you don't want to buy it. When you eat the ash at home, you are full of heartache. Of course, except for local tyrants, it's just money!
Dongdong has arrived, and it is here! Take 180 days!

Caressing my board first. At the top of the board are four shortcut keys that can be used to set the most common functions.

The back of the board is also hidden, open the back cover, where you can place the wireless module, but also equipped with a cartridge, replace the cartridge, which is very intimate.

The upper left corner of the board is the USB interface, hidden in it, there is a protective effect, and the line is inserted deeper, not easy to loose, the accidental release of the general data line due to collision, here will not release pinching!

USB interface is a mini interface, try to see if the non-wacom comes with the data line is universal, there is no hand-free USB port.

There are two upper and lower buttons on the side of the tactile pen, the upper button is used to adjust the diameter of the brush tool, and the lower button is to call the hand tool. It's quite convenient, but there's a bad thing. When pressing the key, this button is easy to incarnate. It won't bounce. Most of the time, I'll use my fingers to make it look. When I was writing, I felt that the pen was too thin, and there was no anti-slip glue on the pen. As a small hand, I said that it was difficult for me to grip the pen.
Wacom stylus
From the opening to the use of the board, an important step is to install the drive. Windows classmates are very easy to use, with the CD-ROM attached to the board will be able to get. I wouldn't hurt it because I love to use MBPR (macbook pro). It is this product. It was a long time before I fell in love with it. It also accumulated a lot of skills to play MBPR. share it
The computer does not have an optical drive. You need to download the driver from the official website of wacom.

According to the model and system query, remember to check the mac operating system. In the result, select the "influence series Mac version driver 6.3.15-3 2016-01-03 view details" the latest column, click into the local download point will get to a download url, copy this to the Thunder It's better to go inside because using the browser's own download tool is very slow. (This is all experience)

Can try it out! First copy one to pressure stunned!
Silently open my PS, I use photoshop cs6 (cracked version: attach a crack tutorial, → poke this, physical verification is feasible). If you do not want to spend a lot of money to crack, in fact, spend a little money to big Taobao, buy a serial number is also possible, but also very cheap, about 5-10 RMB there is a transaction, and the serial number is your update can also be used, It's me and my colleague Amway. (Visual AI, SAI and other software, Taobao can buy the serial number, here is not to express support for cracked version, huh, huh!)
Feel free to find a photo of the jellyfish flower and copy it. Adjust the brush parameters, you can start copying. (The most important thing in digital painting is the adjustment of the brush. The material of ps can be downloaded. I paid attention to a micro-blog called "Photoshop Resource Bank" and "SAI Resource Bank". We often share, ps tutorials and materials. The children who need them can go to Weibo to start writing with a pencil tool. The board is really good. There is no delay in the strokes. Basically, it is drawn and produced. The big-name tablet is good, it will not record the movement of the hand as a brush, casually play, the effect is as follows

During the painting, the touch pen stroked back and forth on the board. I felt distressed and affixed the attached protective film. The protective film was a matte hard card. Only the top column was sticky. So, the film can be set off at any time! If you are concerned about the tactile effects of the film, then I can be spoiled. After the film does not have any effect on the induction of the board, the operation is still smooth, please rest assured.

The manuscript is almost the same, and then use the brush tool to trim the manuscript. I feel really like painting on paper. I am particularly excited to use it. The effect is as follows:

Here is the coloring! But I have to share it when it's done, So, there is no finished picture, but this can share some small tips.
Digital tablet copy
1. When drawing a linework, it's best to make the lines closed so that when you paint, fill it with the paint bucket tool and you can quickly draw a full, full layer. If the lines are not closed and there is no closed constituency, the entire layer will be filled!
2. The order of coloring is generally from the order of light color → secondary shadow → shadow, and the last is high light.
3, At the bottom of the layer, fill (atl+delete) and the entire color contrast color, so that where the color beyond the border, where uneven color can be seen at a glance.
4. When you have assigned different layers to apply color, click the "Lock transparent image" button beforehand. The transparent pixels are locked so that when you apply a sliver, the color will not exceed the background color.
Why do digital painting my entry choice is photoshop, not SAI, in fact, SAI is the love of animation touch?
Well, in fact, the sauce is purple, because Kaka usually more work is in contact with the PS, confidence in the use of PS is more adequate (at least familiar with shortcut keys, processing speed will increase), SAI is relatively new to me, so digital Getting started is also about starting with familiar software. From the perspective of a layman, SAI is better used for coloring (you can use a large block of rough colors), but the overall adjustment of the screen is better than ps (shortcut win: ctrl+m, mac:cmd +m adjustment curve trimming). Of course, there are Lr (lightingroom) palette tools, but the choice of what software is not the most important, because these are the only means, as long as it is easy to use. Set a small target first, hey!
In general, I think that the Intuos CTL 690 is an entry-level tablet and the quality is still good. Read operation without delay, the recognition of the action is smooth, more than 90% of paper-like drawing feeling, the price is also acceptable range of silk, buy not eat soil, is a better choice for entry.
One thing to note is that when the tablet driver is installed, the wireless mouse is not sensitive when it is powered on. It is doubtful whether there is any incompatibility between the drivers of the two devices. The Mouse uses ViewSonic's wireless mouse. The experience of other students on the Internet has reflected this issue and it may be a common problem. In addition, the feel of the touch pen and the workmanship of the button feel there is room for improvement.
There is also a paper dregs coloring technique to share? But this time is slightly longer, or put it to the next time again! At the end of the text, we have some benefits, hahaha, the temptation of bikinis!
