hey everyone it's Iggy here and today we have a special video sharing my experience with
the TourBox Elite and the XPPen Artist 15.6 Pro the TourBox Elite is something I really
didn't know I needed it's well thought out design makes all the shortcuts I need
efficient and accessible saving me lots of time and speeding up my workflow it's
a real game changer and really helps me draw faster stay tuned for the speed paint where
I could showcase its capabilities they're having a collaboration right now and they
were kind enough to send Winged Canvas their products I'm here to try it out
as someone who's never used them before the TourBox is so easy to get the hang of if a newbie
like me took full advantage of its convenience then I can only imagine when I've messed it
not to mention all the fun buttons you get the press and all the satisfying clicks and clacks
on the TourBox console you're able to customize your TourBox and what all the buttons do on the
top left you can see presets designed for certain softwares they've got official preset templates
for programs like Photoshop Clip Studio Paint paint tool aside and many more so TourBox pretty
much got all the mainstream programs covered if you don't see your software that you use on the
list then be sure to check out their site because there are lots of user created presets that
you're able to download and import to the window pretty cool what I recommend is to use a preset
as your base and then adjust it to your liking I started with a Clip Studio Paint preset that they
have and then I change the buttons as I went to create a more comfortable experience for myself
you could customize even further with features like the tour menu
with a tour menu allows me to open up this little menu that has quick commands
like making a new layer or merging them and these are all fully customizable you
can bind this to one of the buttons so that you can open up this menu anytime anywhere
and then there's a macro feature which lets you program in actions that will be performed
in order after a push of a button admittedly this is one of the more advanced features that I didn't
delved to leave into but this is what I made it'll hit T first which is the text tool and then it'll
click on to a certain coordinate onto my monitor and then it'll type in macro command activate
so all these actions will be performed in a single push of a button
you don't have to use all these features but it's nice that it's there
the TourBox Elite allows for a lot of freedom to make your drawing experience a lot smoother
and now for the part that I'm most excited for actually drawing with it
my idea for the speed paint was to draw the little wing canvas guy with the TourBox Elite
if I'm going to be completely honest I'm a really stubborn guy I like sticking to what I'm used to
and when the toolbox came in I was really nervous that the learning curve would be high
and it'll be awkward and I'm gonna dance around like a dinosaur on roller skates
and I did for a little bit in the beginning but I got used to it surprisingly quick
actually also this is actually my first time drawing on a tablet this big the XP Artist
15.6 Pro baby and the first thing I really noticed was how vibrant colors are very nice
talk a little bit about my process here I usually like to start off with a really loose sketch I
don't really like doing line art so I try to keep my sketch as concise and as clean as possible so
that I'm able to merge it all together and paint over it eventually I feel like it's
the best way to work then after that I like to put down the base colors and then I change the
values add in the shading and the lighting and then after that I like to paint over everything
because less layers less headache and I really love working that way I have a few artists I
look up to who do this method and I really want to get better at it someday even though I really love
working with digital and all the benefits it may bring I still love the feel of traditional art I
really love the imperfections and to me it gives off a lot of personality that's also why I really
like working this way I want to encourage you to do what you think is best for you there is
no be-all end-all process that'll work all the time just do what works for you man after all
that's what art is to me it's observing something you really really love noticing all the little
details about it and then putting your own twist to it so anyway I hope you enjoyed speed paint
I love the TourBox and I really didn't expect to I wasn't thinking it was gimmicky but it really
is surprising how it could fit all the hotkeys and tools that I use in Clip Studio Paint all
within the palm of my hand makes my life so much easier and really speeds up my process I
can't thank TourBox and XPPen enough for providing their products be sure to check out their collab
and see all the deals that they have packaging their stuff together it's two amazing products
bundle together so go check it out TourBox and XPPen also came up with this really fun test for
you to see your unique creative personality be sure to do this test as it only takes two
minutes to do and see if you match it with me what I got was Perfectionist Creator let me know what
you get that's all I have to share for today and thanks a lot for joining me on this video see ya
