JackPittman's blog

..time for me to update my way-out-of-date website and make it more cohesive. Over the years I had simply added to it in the old center-everything approach.

Digitally, you can just start drawing on the screen and keep adding to your "canvas" as needed. The fact that the Cintiq tilts like a drawing table and swivels like an animation board makes for the nearest thing to drawing on a sheet of paper and rotating the sheet as you draw to take advantage of your optimal swing of the wrist.

and 3) it will be critical for business of freelancers in the 21st century.
