I would say the vast majority of artists do not travel and do not need to draw mid-meeting. Certainly there are exceptions but they are just that, exceptions.
- crazygringo 3y agoCentiqs may be great, but I've seen 100 artists using an iPad for every 1 artist I've seen using a Centiq. I would say the vast majority of artists do have client meetings, whether they're employed full-time or freelance. And artists need to work on the go just like the rest of us. Whether it's a dad trying to do 30 min of video editing in his car while he waits for daycare to get out, or somebody in the city doing an hour of website design in a cafe while they wait for their next meeting. I'm baffled by your assertion that artists don't use iPads or shouldn't need them. It's just not the case, if you work with professional artists.
- jayd16 3y agoInteresting, I've worked in large game studios with many 2d and 3d digital artists and they just don't use iPads. It could be a specific industry thing or a regional thing but even during the early hybrid work days I would see artists haul in and pack up their Centiqs. IPads were not in the conversation. I will say that it's a major disconnect in our experience that you would say the majority of artists are directly client facing. What company/industry is buying their artists iPads?
