Wacom One first impressions - Day 2

16 Mar 2022

This morning has been a little more productive than yesterday’s - I made a few quick sketches at school, just to make sure this wouldn’t have been another of those annoying days where I appear to have forgotten how to draw. When I came back home, I haven’t immediately picked up the drawing tablet as planned, and have only begun making stuff around the late afternoon, just like yesterday.

This is the second entry in my Wacom One first impressions journal. You can read the first post here.


To start things off nice and easy, I’ve made a quick sketch as kind of a warmup. Nothing too insane, yet.

Next up, I’ve decided to pick up again a bad sketch from yesterday night, aiming to just tweak it just enough to make it look decent. A few minutes later, here I am, making a new sketch from scratch and slowly beginning to make this into a higher effort drawing.

It has taken me about an hour to get very close to finishing up the lineart, plus a little over another hour to clean things up and add a grand total of… two colors. Considering gray as a color, that is.

The end result is currently my most accurate Atlas sketch to atlaszoidac’s own artwork. I am really proud of this. By the way, you can read more of my thoughts on this drawing here.


So far so good, huh? I can’t believe this is just my second day of using a drawing tablet - guess my friends were right when they said having one can pull off miracles. I am starting to think buying a Wacom One myself would be far from a bad idea, considering the unexpectedly short amount of time I needed to get used to the one I borrowed from my friend.

I’m just so happy with this that I don’t want to go to sleep and just keep drawing stuff, but I guess I do - sadly - need some sleep, after all. Well, I can’t wait for tomorrow. See you then, with the 3rd entry of this journal!
