Calvin,

I did the same thing for years including putting together all three of my books on my powerbook and a Wacom Graphire. Needless to say it was tedious and I had to get used to drawing on the tablet while looking at the screen.

Having the digitizer screens (Cintiq and Modbook) simply works like magic.

Robert,

Thanks for visiting. I like the moleskin sketches in your blog.

Impressive as usual. I once used my powerbook with my tablet, but it seems like modbook is the way to go.
The revolution begins, no more messy conte.

Bobby,

Thanks! Yes the simulation on Sketchbook Pro is top notch. However I don't think digital will ever completely replicate the look and feel of traditional media.

Celeste,

You certainly don't need any kind of magic bean because your work is already quite exquisite.

But the portability of the Modbook, or any tablet for that matter does make things like drawing classes somewhat easier in terms of not having to scan the sketches afterwards. Great hearing from you!!

green weaver,

I apologize but it's my fault for not completely clarifying this in my original post. Basically the Modbook and Mac OS 10.4 will only display in Landscape format. If you wish to draw in Portrait mode, you will have to physically tilt the tablet upright. The screen orientation however will remain in Landscape mode.

I added a clarification to my post in the Modbook Junction blog post. Thanks for your comments!

Amelia,

Thanks! Keep that pencil (or whatever drawning implement you are currently using) moving!! One can never attend too many drawing classes in my opinion.

These are great! All of these cowboys have such distinct personalities. Makes me want to go to figure drawing again.

Can you explain what you mean by tilting the modbook up? My understanding was that it would only work in landscape (long-rectangle) mode and not in portrait (tall-rectangle) mode. So, if you've been using it in portrait, how did you get that to work? I had read that screen rotation was somehow disabled in the operating system.

I've been checking in on modbook junction a bit because I'm considering becoming a modbook owner.

You're using a modbook! I remember quizzing you about tablets etc. a while back... I gave up and just settled on a stationary cintiq, but now I'm jealous, cause gesture drawing has become a staple of my week, and looking at you great work, I foolishly think, maybe the mod book would be just the magic bean to make my drawings the way I want, ha ha!

Wow these are impressive! You seemed to have nailed every one on that top page. And it really does look like traditional media.
