CINTIQ COMPANION 2 VS. 1st Gen - Review/Comparison!

[@indeimaus]

Wacom if you want to send me one, that'd be fabulous I still have the same $50 tablet I got 7 years ago :')

[@md.shefaurrahmanshakil5679]

+Indeimaus I still have my pen and papers. :'V

[@Funkynature]

@GGR Makes You can ask for a iPad Air for Christmas or your birthday (if you celebrate Christmas, if not, you can ask for it at Eid if you’re Muslim and at any other gift-changing party in any other religion :)) It’s not expensive and it’s great :)

[@crochetdogtrainer]

My Cintiq Companion 2 just arrived today and I am blown away! I've never had any kind of professional digital art equipment before, I've been using a rinky dink pen pad tablet that lags and wasn't very great but THIS CINTIQ IS INSANE. I am in LOVE 😍😍😍

[@icyink967]

Did you get it during their sale? I've heard some really bad things about the cintiq companion 2 and with the release of the new Wacom Mobile Studio, its really not worth it to get it at full price.

[@jikookiest]

IcyInk I guess it depends on the person's perspective For mine, I have been using the Cintiq Companion 2 for almost a year now and it really didn't cause any major problems

[@nadiaterezon]

Can I borrow that cintiq for...ever?

[@user-xt7zs7tn1c]

+Minty “Candy” Candy Arts no me

[@moriahmars1462]

Can I borrow that when you don't use it?

[@Falcryx]

*scrolls through amazon to check cintiq prices* Jazza: Having better tools, does not make you a better artist. *closes amazon*

[@sarahreese516]

ROFL!!!!!!!

[@nerukessa]

[@Retrorstyles]

Now this is a sponsored video done right! Love the presentation mate, keep up the good work. Might look into one of the Companion line after this.

[@Jazza]

+Retrorstyles thanks mate!

[@punnu5997]

you cannot imagine how much it makes me happy when I see you keeping busy. I just want all artists to be overloaded with work. Can you someday make a video on how to get more work ? networking, promotion, connections, building contacts, applying for gigs ? Please

[@kijiart2813]

This made me really excited to get my WCC2! I've had either a Bamboo or an off-brand tablet like Monoprice and Ugee (which I totally recommend to anyone looking to start out with tablets, btw!) for the past 13 years, finally upgraded to an Intuos Pro medium about 6 months ago, and now I'm also getting the Cintiq Companion 2. I couldn't be happier!! :)

[@shoocharu]

Oh how I wish I could get this beauty... I've been wanting it and working to get it ever since it came out... You don't suppose you might one day have a contest or something where you could win it..?

[@Roseilles]

I'm thinking in buy the Cintiq Companion 2 in a couple of months. And this video helped me a lot! Your videos are awesome btw! :D

[@SpeedBoost]

I always love your hardware reviews, they're very concise and the important information is always at the forefront of the videos.

[@CAMERABOI]

Got my Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 today! This is my first touch screen Wacom tablet and it feels so unnatural resting my hand on a machine this beautiful (even though I know it's perfectly okay to) I was watching this video weeks ago thinking it was about the regular Cintiqs and got confused when you started mentioning RAM, storage etc as though it were a computer. Because that seemed like only something dreams were made of. And by god what a dream machine it is!!!

[@CAMERABOI]

It's been great! Still using it. Haven't had any issues with it so far, it did have a moment where it didn't charge which froke me out but I think that might have been the power socket that as playing up, haven't had it happen again.

[@ThisMythicVortex]

if you are an animator, does the device cope with animation software? for an example krita(free software)

[@ryancooper7113]

My digital art has improved tremendously, thanks to your tutorials Jazza :)

[@zongi700]

I just got mine yay! Thanks very much for all the videos and tutorials. They help(ed) me very much!

[@ReeceKelley]

I've been waiting for this since the companion 2 was released! Excellent review!

[@SarahGraveschannel]

Yay! I was here early. (That thumbnail is frickin awesome by the way)

[@Jazza]

+DayLee Vids Aha thanks :D

[@molss4673]

+Draw with Jazza you're pretty chill bro. Stay awesome. I can really see you getting far in the future

[@SarahGraveschannel]

Mollie Bray he is already far, but yeah he can go even farther than he is now!

[@renko3442]

Yep...

[@jbflaco3662]

Continue your AWSOME work jazza

[@DanielSanLIVE]

I only just got a Cintiq 22HD a couple months ago, absolutely love it, but now I want a companion even though I don't travel all that often xD It would have been handy if I had it for college perhaps.

[@phantomdraw352]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Happy birthday from Russia, Jazza ^___^

[@anab0lic]

how can you do a review of this product and not discuss the battery life...

[@ellespoonies]

anab0lic I have this, depending what you're doing and how intensive it is it can last you a good 10ish hours. Maybe a bit more depending on how much is open and if bluetooth is on and all that nonesense.

[@ellespoonies]

(for a 13", by the way, so I'm sure the larger ones last much longer)

[@Fugnu]

as a fellow companion 2 owner, i can attest to it's excellence as a professional-grade portable workspace, you get what you pay for, that's for sure

[@jennygholson33]

I love your tablet reviews!:)

[@Matthimeo]

I know people who take their cintiq companion to life drawing classes, and it works well for them in that

[@Leontinevanvliet]

I want a cintiq companion 2 so bad. It would make my work so much easier! Yep, i am going to save up for this:D

[@thebloodstorm916]

I subscribed to you

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Gideon Kirsch oh thank you!:)

[@RynRynRyn]

A friend let me try her companion 2 out at a convention we were selling our work at. OMFG I really need one. I am so fed up with bamboo tablets! Sadly money be the issue.... I wish I wasn't still in the startup phase of mah business! These are just so amazing. I have a decent pc and a laptop but I don't have a desk so I have to sit with the bamboo on my lap, my keyboard in an open drawer of my clothes chest of drawers and the mouse has to be put ontop the dresser.... and it's just... not a great system. A companion would mean I could go off and sit on my bed or downstairs and not be an artist hermit. Ah one day... ONE DAY! The review really helped dude. Cheers.

[@greendraws1414]

In Norway, we have something called "konfirmasjon" were its like we step into adult-hood. Point is, we get a lot of gifts. That means money. So im planning to buy a companion2. Im so excited!!

[@apprenticeblacksmith7847]

Been using Companion 2 for over 5 months and I must say it's worth of the price. Only thing that is kinda fustrating is calibrating. You have to get used to the cursor not always following the pen tip 100%. When going sides of the screen the cursor is quite off from the pentip position.

[@noisackda2564]

Thank you!!!! You answered my question perfectly! I feel exactly the same about photoshop. The companion 1 just doesn't do it for me. It's about 80% there but it was clearly not ready. Looks like the tech has finally caught up.

[@liriking11]

Happy birthday Jazza!!!

[@WrightGottlen]

I really would like to upgrade to something like this in the future, but sadly I am on a tight budget, working several jobs just to keep afloat and not starve to death, so an Intel Core i5 M520 laptop with Intel HD graphics card and a Wacom Intous Small tablet (and of course pen and paper) are my friends for the next several years, haha. May be one day... Love watching your reviews anyway, I am not a very techie person (I am more of a technophobe to be completely honest, never trust computers more than simple pen and paper), so I seek as much advice as possible when buying computers and tablets so I can get the most out of it - your reviews totally help me decide which device is better and the benefits they have and / or lack in comparison. :)

[@MsLuckyLucario]

I've started with digital artworks in 2010. At first I used only my mouse, but after a few months I saved up enough money to effort my first drawing tablet. This was the "Odys Grafik Board", it costed me 50€. I choosed it because it had a large surface (about a A4 size) and I absolutely disliked the small ones like Wacom Bamboo. This cheap device work great for me and so I used it for around 7 years. It has never let me down, but the fact that I always had to use it with a computer bothered me. Especially when I visited my boyfriend for a week or a weekend. So I finally decided to look for another option... I got lucky and found a Cintiq Companion 2 on ebay. Labeled as used but nearly new (the previous owner didn't liked it as much as he hoped for, because of its weight). I bought it and now that I'm using it for around 3 years I still love it sooo much x3 But I totally agree with the fact that your device doesn't make your art good. It's the amount of effort you put in it!

[@quoabell]

great comparison, i liked your insight in your everyday usage of the device. it seems it really IS a companion to you ^^

[@cvanims]

Good review - thanks, Jazza!

[@Metal-Spark]

I love the idea of the companion but I have a pretty decent gaming PC that can run photoshop very well and I think the companion simply wouldn't measure up to what I'm used to. It would have been nice to see you using brushes that put a bigger strain on the hardware and at a high resolution - for example it looked like you were drawing and colouring with the hard round brush which is incredibly easy to render - compare that to, let's say one of Kyle's watercolour brushes, and the results could be much different - this can be made even more dramatic by sizing the brushes up to say 300-500 pixels which is a little extreme but it's not unheard of. Not trying to be negative about the review, I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was great to hear your thoughts, I just wish I could try one out for myself and see how it handles more complex brushes and textures.

[@SamGreen]

Dang it... now I'll probably need to upgrade... I totally get you with the 'sticky' feel. Any idea when the companion 3 comes out? hehe Might be worth the short wait... :P

[@moriahmars1462]

You actually saw this video! Hi dude! I'm a big fan!

[@StarWarsAddict527]

The Mobile Studio Pro seems to function as the Cintiq Companion 3.

[@jupiterishere8288]

Happy birthday, Jazza

[@locococopanda6535]

Omg Hey Jazza! I saw you were at green island! I was there in March! I wish I saw you, it would be an absolute honour. I live in Australia too. I love your work. You're so inspiring. Xx

Hi Jazza, I just want to let you know that you make me proud to be an Aussie, you're so great and awesome and I hope one day I can be as good of an artist like you are.

[@Philbrush]

Great review! I plan on getting a Companion 2, but I have a few other things I need to budget towards first, till then I have an iPad Pro which is a great tablet to draw on, but it doesn't have Photoshop (it does have some great drawing apps though), which is what I ultimately want in a portable drawing tablet!

[@kaelikat4179]

I love how you draw, its great

[@Jazza]

+kaeli patterson Why thank you!

[@jodyangel]

Cintiq Companion looks like a product I would look into purchasing in the future. I have tried drawing on an iPad, even the iPad Pro and its Pencil. As much as I like Apple products, some how I feel limited by the apps you can use on them, especially when it comes to Photoshop. I like that with Cintiq Companion you can use a full Photoshop program. I know with iPad Pro with the Pencil I did have larger screen, more control, and nice flow, I just don't know if I would want to invest into it. How would the Cintiq Companion compare to the iPad Pro with the Pencil?

[@ArtistChibi]

I use the Wacom Bamboo. It may not be one of the fancier kinds of graphics tablets out there, but it sure is a damn good one. Though, I do wonder how the Cintiq would work with Manga Studio. I use Manga studio over Adobe because of price and how much less memory it takes up by comparison. I still use Photoshop for certain brushes, mainly for backgrounds, but when it comes to drawing, itself, I use Manga Studio.

[@RustyParadox]

Cool, the reviews of the companion 2 have been a bit lacking since it was released over a year ago. I would recommend the base model (or the one just above, its worth it just for the case and stand) for anyone that wants a drawing tablet and doesn't have a dedicated 22" (or 27") cintiq at home. Then just plug it into a more beasty computer when you get home. Great for sketching on the go.

[@Kiarasgonzalez]

Thank you for this, Jazza!

[@Jazza]

+Kiara Gonzalez My pleasure

[@4554squishey]

Jazza you should make that cartoon in the thumbnail your new profile pic! It looks nice!

[@shourimajo]

Excellent review and very informative! Thank you! :)

[@OfelieArt]

Watching this on my cintiq companion 1! Needless to say this video is pretty interesting to me :D

[@limelightmoon]

Awesome video as always! Few Questions: - So, I understand it does not need a computer to work which is great! But can it still connect to a more powerful desktop? How is it compared to the 13HD, is it the same thing but the companion has the advantage of being an independent computer. -How is it in terms of rendering when using software like Maya, Zbrush or Premiere? -I believe it comes with windows 8.1, have you upgraded to windows 10 yet? and did you experience any noticeable issues with the drivers? I'm deciding between either getting the companion or getting the 13HD and upgrading my computer.

You can connect it with your apple or windows device and it will work like a regular Cintiq 13HD :)

[@ronildoshi5998]

happy birthday jazza

[@DarkusRIDER]

HI JAZZA!!! AWESOME VIDEO

[@mostafaofficial5062]

Damn Jazza You are too good at marketing .Great Video .Maybe i will save some money up to buy one

[@gerbie42]

Interesting comparison. Naturally the companion 2 (especially with the specs you have) will outperform the first. What I wonder about - and maybe you can somehow get your hands on results - is how the high end version of the Companion 2 compares to the low end version. As in, would the companion 2 'budget' version be good enough already? On a sidenote - for someone aiming to purchase a Cintiq product - with enough budget to get 1 product - would you suggest a 'regular' Cintiq or the Cintiq Companion?

[@Krusher115]

gerbillgrubb im not Jazza, but personally, having the desktop cintiq display tablets are far better quality. There are amazing benefits of both tablets with portability and being able to use it everywhere. The desktop tablet not only has a nicer screen and HD display. Plus the desktop tablets run off the power of your desktop computer. So if you have a strong computer your tablet will run amazingly.

[@imyth2210]

jazza is a great inspiration

[@alidan]

with the drawing benchmark, draw the same thing twice on the companion 1 and see what the difference is, then that difference takein into account would tell you what the real difference between 1 and 2 is.

[@DrLoco]

+Jazza Since you've given me more advice on improving my drawing then I can ever return, I'll bestow you with some very valuable advice on garment. Drop the "wemon-beaters"...use them as rags...burn them...but never ever ever wear them again. :) keep up the content...its more often then not yaw-breaking.

[@TheJalapeno100]

Oh my god, you have a Bag of Holding. I've had one for about 4 years and it's great.

[@Jazza]

+Casey Main Damn straight!

[@ellis20022]

Okay, before I start anything, I'm not exactly a developed artist and my style is uh, all over the place. Okay so, for the past several months I have been using the Huion H610. I don't exactly have a lot of money so it was the best I could get at the time. Problems that I have come across - I have to restart my PC with the tablet plugged in everytime I wish to draw due to the fact my pen pressure quits working. I don't exactly have a fast PC, so this process takes about 5 minutes. - The pen is awfully fragile, and I press hard on the screen. I've cracked 2 of the replaceable tips already, oops... This isn't really a problem with the tablet, this is just something I would like to be considered in suggesting a tablet. - I've had to reinstall my drivers a couple of times because occasionally the buttons change their functions. I would be trying to erase something by clicking the handy erase button, but would end up getting the "Where do you want to save this file?" screen, or pressing the color picker button and almost closing my drawing program. I love this tablet when it is not screwing on me, it's a great product, but it's inconviences are annoying. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for new tablets to purchase in the future. A display screen would be nice if I wanted to draw while away from home, but I would be fine with a normal tablet. This Cintq Companion 2 is out of the question, I don't have $2,000 to spend xD

[@amyang5622]

I pad Pro

[@calebwolfe4775]

Jazza, you should do a versus/comparison battle between the Wacom Bamboo line and the Wacom Intuos line.

[@veru4287]

You have companion, I am earning money for 3 years to have only Cintiq 13HD ._.

[@strebble]

I only have a small wacom, literally a tiny thing without a connecting screen, but you have guvene an idea for a Christmas pressie now

[@MrBlawson7]

Do you still use the Cintiq 2? Or have you tossed it aside for the newer MobileStudio Pro?

[@sedatcercel]

Thanks for the video now my mind is more clear

[@atomicfoxxy1557]

hey jazza nice shirt man!!

[@cuttothechasenews]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video!!

[@Rebecca.G]

Great video, thanks Jazza. I wonder how they would compare both out of the box brand new. Since you've used the 1st gen so much in the past does it still perform as it did out of the box. It would be cool to save the Gen 2 benchmarks and do the same test in a years time after extensive use/abuse and see how that tracks over time.

[@Jazza]

+becdiggity Performance has been pretty consistent TBH. And I've used the CC2 for 3-4 months so it's not exactly an out-of-the-box device any more

[@Rebecca.G]

That's cool to know, thanks Jazza!

[@unkle73]

Jazza, very informative vid. I bought a Surface Pro 4a couple of months ago after seeing the tv ads, and doing online research. But the drawing process has been less than desirable in Photoshop etc, with terrible inaccurate pen/cursor jitter wobble when drawing show or diagonal strokes. Have you used a Surface Pro 4 yourself? I really want a more accurate drawing device, as I'm trying to build up a digital portfolio, but at the moment, the process is more than a little frustrating. The Companion is pretty much out of my price range, it would take a lot more saving to buy one, but would you suggest selling/returning the Surface Pro 4 to put towards one?

[@Ba4rden]

Will you be reviewing the Apple Pencil at any point by chance? I've heard a lot of good from it, and many artists seem to prefer using it on the road with an iPad over Cintiq Companion.

[@chloemartin2922]

Hi jazza! That Will be so fun if you test the iPad Pro ! I love you 'rs draw ❤️. Sorry for the spelling I'm french

[@rea6863]

the question is... HOW DO PEOPLE BUY THIS STUFF?!

[@jesswahyudi7652]

mochi STEP 1) GET $$$ STEP 2) SPEND THAT $$$ ON STEP 3 STEP 3) GET A GOOD DRAWING TABLET FOR U STEP 4) REJOICE If possible: STEP 5) GET MOAR $$$ STEP 6) SPEND THAT $$$ ON STEP 7 STEP 7) GET MORE SUPPLIES/ A BETTER DRAWING TABLET FOR U STEP 8) REPEAT FROM STEP 5 yeah that's how I see it. 😅😅😅

[@kuroakikitsune]

well you'd hope that the newer model is better than the old model... im considering buying a cintiq or something similar.

[@PickingPaul1]

dude, great review!

[@jasonlavallee8195]

Hey Jazza, do you think you could do a video on pixel art. It'd be a real help. Thank you for all the great tutorials. :)

[@tjhihfihy2497]

Hey Jazza, Nice shirt man!!! Happy birthday too. #Niceshirt

[@ChrispyArt]

Great video! What I'm waiting for though is a 4K Cintiq display... When Wacom?

[@Jazza]

+ChrispyArt oooh that would be nice. It's only a matter of time!

[@pandaengine]

Cheaper Companion 2 models need an update. They're still great devices but upgrading them to new Skylake chips and maybe DDR4 RAM's won't hurt. I'm holding myself to buy a CC2 because it has 2 years old processors and still expensive.

[@keyatalewis5783]

[@Yushippo]

Hey Jazza! I love your videos, they've been very inspiring and informative, thanks for that! I do have a question about the carry bag of the Companion 2. Do you think I could fit a bit longer bluetooth keyboard in the pouch? I don't have access to the wacoms own bluetooth keyboard and I've been looking everywhere how big that keyboard pouch is. The keyboard that I have in mind is about 25mm longer than the wacom product. Do you think it'll fit in there? I now have the possibility to purchase Companion 2 and I'd want to plan everything ahead as it is so expensive product. Can you help me out?

[@apaiiyui8488]

Hello ! You helped me a lot to understand the difference between this two tablets, but I have always the same question that comes in my mind, perhaps you can answer me because I see that you use/used pretty much many of their tablets. So, I want to know if the interactivity between your pen and the screen is fast/fluid or is it a little waiting till the realisation of a line on the picture that you're working on? I have a Wacom Bamboo product and it's not with a screen. I'm not yet a big artist, but I like to draw on the PC and do graphical things with it, it's faster and you can better do the details. But this one is directly connected to the computer so it works fast for the interactions but is it the same with the companions or Cintiq 13HD perhaps ? I can't try this kind of product because I'm from Switzerland so if you can explain a little bit more about this or suggest me one of the tablets, or anything else I will be really thankfull for that. Thank you ! (Sorry for my bad english :3)

[@Blueissuperior]

thanks for making this

[@christianlopez4926]

Hey Jazza, have you ever tried working on an iPad Pro or a Surface Pro 4?... I really like Wacom products also, but I wonder if you feel you could be as effective and efficient with one of these other tools.

[@khmatrix]

You talk all these good things about the CP2, but I'm curious about the battery life, how long does it live for you? Is it any better compared to the first gen?

[@Jazza]

+Khmatrix Mine will got for 4-6 hours without a plug, which is pretty good for a flight or trip. I've not had many scenarios where it ran low unexpectedly.

[@neufassung8325]

Im using the Surface Pro 4 for drawing and its also pretty awesome.

[@neufassung8325]

surface pro 4 is really great but if people would want to buy something like that they should wait for the 2. gen surface book.

[@tinktwiceman]

Great video Jaza. Thank you. For Photoshop use only, would the I7, 8GB be enough or you'd recommend 16GB? My main concern is brush lag when the spacing is on 1%. Thank you so much.

Hi Jazza, I am working on a 27" cintiq as well. Planning to move from iMac to a powerful PC. What is your config? My daily job is illustrating and heavy photo editing.

[@MrSimplyChaos]

I have a slightly cheaper , option. Paper.

[@jesswahyudi7652]

MrSimplyChaos but can you use different layers, brushes, pens, pencils, and colors with one pen with one medium with paper? nah i don't think so.

[@eludrea8755]

I want to see you enjoy a comic or movie drawn on paper as much as a digital made one

[@figgy0971]

Eludrea the movie totoro, and comics are no different on paper ? I mean I love digital art, just saying

[@CaitlynNeko]

Oh gosh, i wish I would just be a little near to have the money for a cintiq! Having a Intuos 5 touch&pen right now, but I think there is a huge difference between Monitor-tablett and just-tablett :'(.

[@monsterlovers100]

This is great , now I just need the money to pay for it and the drawing skills to justify owning one.

[@721gabriel]

You r the best drawer i like ur videos

I would love to hear your thoughts about getting the cheapest Companion 2 instead of a Cintiq 13, mostly be using it for 3D connected to a computer, but great to be able to use it for some spontaneous drawing on the road or just on the couch?

[@Vix584]

Thank for this, it was so informative! I just want to ask, do you put any sort of screen protector on any of your devices like this? I would always be so afraid that I'd scratch it if it didn't have one, but also I feel that could lesson the sensitivity. Thanks so much in advance if you, or anyone else, answers this!

[@Jazza]

+VicMaxSim I've never used screen protectors, though I use my Cintiqs every day, they've never gotten a scratch.

[@Vix584]

Draw with Jazza That must be some heavy duty glass then. I'm quite heavy-handed, but if the screens can handle that then I'm even more excited to eventually get one! Thanks for answering.

[@alexismarroquin3485]

Hey Jazza, How are you today? :)

[@mjayka554]
