This is fascinating.

It's 15 minutes long but well worth the effort. Vin talks us through the process of working with a Wacom Cintiq tablet.

There are also insights into recent Batman comics, and I love that Thunder Agents image!

Slightly OT, BUT as Frank is using a Cintiq, I thought this might be warranted:

I bought a second-hand Cintiq which I've just unpacked. The screen is a bit mucky, but unscratched. I understand the official Wacom line is to clean the monitor with a microfibre cloth then to apply water to tricky marks, which they say will do the job. Not exactly. The screen still has smudges. I wondered if other Cintiq users have adopted more effective cleaning techniques?
