| Please provide a profile of yourself. How long have you been working in art/design, what do you specialize in, have you won any other awards? |
| |
I'm Marlon Elloso Villaverde from Lucban,Quezon Philippines. I've been an artist since my elementary days when I started drawing Voltes V (that's my favorite character back then). Between elementary and college I frequently joined art competitions here in the Philippines. I have won many contests here and most of the time made it to the finalists. I think this 2nd Wacom Holiday Contests is my biggest achievement and I'm proud of it. Now I'm working in China and I specialize in giftware and product designs.

| What kind of pen tablet, art/design software do you use? How long have you been using it? |
| |
I'm using an Intuos3 4x5 with the help of Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter. I've been using it for two years. |

|
|
| Where did you get the idea for this entry? |
| I like Christmas theme since I work at a giftware company, and I like to draw cute things. |
| |
| Why did you use this theme? |
| When I'm drawing I always think positively and I want to reach out to the minds and hearts of the people seeing this artwork. I wanted it to be as simple as possible with a little effects. |
| |
| Did you use a pen tablet to make this? How did you use it (i.e. what software did you use to make it)? |
Yes, I'm using intuos3 4x5 with Photoshop and ImageReady for the animated lights. Before editing your work in ImageReady, make sure every layer that you want to be animated is prepared.

| |
| Do you use the pen tablet with a mouse or just a pen tablet? |
 |
I always used pen tablet instead of mouse.
|
| |
| Is there any special way that the pen is different from the mouse in the software that you use? |
|
It's easy for the artist to use a pen tablet rather than a mouse because you feel like you are holding a pencil or a pen for drawing. I like the sensitivity of the pen tablet. You can easily adjust the stroke by the pressure sensitivity of the tablet. |
| |
| How do you program the buttons on the pen and the buttons on the tablet? |
|
Only the defaults. |
| |
| Do you work only on computers? If not, what other types of art tools do you use? How are they better or worse than the pen tablet? |
|
Yes, I work most of the time in computers (Mac computer preferred). When I was in college I liked doing Printmaking and Oil Painting. There are limitations in both computer generated art and in hand drawing. One thing I would say is that both are my favorite cause I'm an artist. I like art and I appreciate everything related to art.
