Blog - Sensu Stylus

Article: ”Touch-Capacitive Bristles! The Sensu Stylus” - found at Core77.

The article describes a new type of stylus for aspiring artists who use tablets to draw and create art. This new stylus, a successful Kickstarter project (they raised $65,823 – a full $58k more than they asked for), looks like a combination of a pencil and a brush.

Unlike regular styluses, the Sensu Stylus works closest to a real paintbrush. The brush is made up of synthetic brush hair, and the back of the stylus is an eraser-like rubber part. This makes it very easy for artists of all skill levels to effortlessly use the stylus and create art.

Personally, I think this brush is awesome. For people who use technology to create traditional-like art such as painting (which is becoming more common), this is a step in the right direction. New artists, who are used to traditional paintbrushes, will have a much easier time with this brush than with a regular or spongy stylus, because it is much closer to the real thing. The Sensu Stylus comes out sometime in May.
