Intuos Delivers Smooth Strokes for Car Design
Intuos Delivers Smooth Strokes for Car Design

Damian revolutionizes Coventry University with Intuos
For industrial design rendering, the beauty of each stroke is extremely important. If you were doing it on paper, then one mistake, one bad stroke means you’d have to throw away the entire drawing. On the computer you can simply undo those strokes, but before the pen tablet, rendering was very difficult. So when Damian discovered the Intuos1 and Corel Painter 5 at an Apple Center in London, he bought it immediately.
In 1997 neither students nor professors at Britain’s Coventry University had heard of pen tablets nor Corel Painter. Damian’s drawings amazed his professors because the combination of an Intuos stylus and Corel Painter allowed him to do line-drawing and color-rendering digitally, but amazingly looks natural. He taught his professors the rendering technique he developed using the pen tablet, and they began teaching the other students at Coventry. After becoming head of design at Malaysian automaker Proton, he became a freelance designer.
