A Device that Converts Hand-Drawn Sketches to Vector Images
I’ve been searching for something like this for a while and now it’s here..
Inkling is a device by Wacom a digital sketch pen that captures a digital likeness of your work while you sketch with its ballpoint tip on any sketchbook or standard piece of paper.
The device consists of two parts: a stylus with a pressure-sensitive ballpoint and a receiver that stores and converts the sketches.
To start using Inkling, users affix the receiver to a piece of paper, turn it on and start drawing with the stylus, ensuring the line of sight between pen and receiver isn’t broken.
Inklink allows you to create layers in digital files while you sketch on paper, in addition to capturing your sketch, stroke by stroke. Digital files are transferred to your computer using the Inkling Sketch Manager software, and later, exported to applications such as Adobe® Photoshop® and Illustrator®.
Inkling for Fashion Designers
In fashion design, sketching is an essential part to visualise ideas and inspirations. Fashion designers love to try out new clothing and accessories in drawing, but only a fraction of those sketches come into being.
With Inkling, dozens of sketches can be done independently from the computer and only the ones worthwhile to be developed further can be refined in the computer.
Inkling for Fashion Illustrators
If you are into illustration, Inkling is perfect for preparatory art. You simply start off with a simple sketch wherever you are and turn it into a clean illustration using Photoshop, Illustrator or Sketchbook Pro. Files can also be saved in JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, SVG and PDF formats.
Due to Inkling’s ability to separate drawings into layers, you can easily separate the first rough strokes from the subsequent outline and possible shadings.
Inkling is available in Wacom Store for a price of $241.
