Digital Day - Working with a Wacom Tablet


If you were in a creative profession before you got bitten with the cake decorating bug, you probably already know about or own a wacom in one form or another.  The wacom is a device that you attach to your desktop which allows you to draw and "paint" as easily as with a pen or art bush on paper.  A wacom  laptop tablet is a functional laptop. You draw directly on the screen and you have at your fingertips an amazing array of colors and textures.  The wacom tablet is portable like any laptop, so you can draw your amazing cake design before or at your client meeting and then file or email the sketch; write notes (just like you would with pen and paper) and also download a number of multimedia software--so you can carry your digital/video portfolio with you.  The downside is that it's heavier and more expensive than an iPad but if you already have access to one--you can definitely use it to enhance your cake decorating business.
