Inkling

Inkling bridges the gap between traditional, freehand sketching and digital development by capturing a digital likeness of a pen-on-paper sketch.

The Inkling digital sketch pen captures a digital likeness of your work while you sketch with its ballpoint tip on any sketchbook or standard piece of paper. Designed for rough concepting and creative brainstorming, Inkling is ideal for the front end of the creative process. Later, refine your work on your computer using an Intuos4 tablet or Cintiq interactive pen display.

In addition to capturing your sketch, stroke by stroke, Inkling allows you to create layers in digital files while you sketch on paper. Digital files are transferred to your computer using the Inkling Sketch Manager software, and later, exported to applications such as Adobe® Photoshop® and Illustrator®. Files can also be opened with the included Inkling Sketch Manager software to edit, delete, add layers or change file formats.

Coolest thing EVER! Hoping to find one in my Christmas stocking this year!

Very cool. The vector graphics aspect is amazing.

It seems like a great thing for a comic book artist.

Yep- would be great for doodling at conventions, restaurants, airports, meetings, or sitting on the couch in front of the TV. Get back to your computer and download them- no having to try to scan a sketchbook.
