Overview of Wacom Intuos 4 accessories

Airbrush 

Pressure and tilt sensitive – it′s the perfect tool for anyone involved in the digital creation, editing and retouching of images.

The unbelievably realistic simulation of ink application, spray distance and tilt angle brings it amazingly close to authentic airbrush performance on the screen. The easy-to-handle finger wheel allows 1,024 levels of fine graduations and when you release it, it stays in the position it was in last, as opposed to conventional airbrushes thus ensuring that the application of digital ink is kept constant.

Art-pen

Most designers know the classical felt marker – basically a high-value felt pen with an angled tip that enabled the designer to draw thick and fine strokes by simply turning the marker by 180° along its longitudinal axis.

With the new Art Pen, designers can enter the time capsule and get the good old marker feeling – with the advantages of the digital realm: This pen has – like its traditional counterpart – a broad, angled pen tip, which is made of either plastic or real felt. Additionally, the Art Pen is rotation-sensitive at 360°, so you can – if the software support rotation-sensitivity – change the width of your stroke by simply turning the pen′s barrel – like with a real felt marker. You also can substitute a calligraphic fountain-pen with your Art Pen…

Most people, including me will be happy enough with the included grip pen.

The M sized board that I bought came with this pen and a set of extra tips.

The extra tips makes the grip pen very versaile as they are several different
types of tips available.
