Unleash the expressive potential of the most demanding digital artists with Wacom’s new rotation-sensitive pen, which brings the feel of traditional tools to digital creation.

Expressive control with cylinder rotation
Wacom Unveils Wacom Art Pen 2: Next-Generation Pen with 360° Barrel Rotation for Digital Artists
Building on the success of the original Wacom Art Pen (KP701E), the new Wacom Art Pen 2 continues to offer 360° barrel rotation and introduces this functionality to Wacom’s newest technology. With compatible brushes, pens and cursors, it can respond not only to pressure and tilt, but also to the angle of rotation of the pen (when used with supported software). The Wacom Art Pen 2 allows artists to vary the thickness and character of their strokes by simply rotating the pen in their hand, just as traditional artists adjust the angle of a pencil, flat brush, marker or calligraphy pen to achieve different expressive effects. This intuitive control allows for a more natural and dynamic drawing experience that closely mirrors the versatility of the traditional tools artists are accustomed to.
“The Wacom Art Pen has been loved by artists for years for its unique sensibility and expressive possibilities. With the Wacom Art Pen 2 we listened to our passionate community and perfected what they love, bringing that familiar experience to our latest technology,” said Koji Yano, senior vice president of Creative Experience at Wacom. “By integrating these features into our current devices, we aim to give creatives even more freedom to bring their ideas to life.”
Intelligently designed for artists
The Wacom Art Pen 2 uses Wacom’s battery-free EMR technology and features three buttons, which help streamline your workflow and minimize interruptions. With up to 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, the pen offers smooth, precise control, from delicate sketches to bold, dynamic strokes. An integrated tip holder within the pen barrel holds three replacement tips, allowing artists to quickly replace them whenever needed.
New tip options for an artistic sensibility
Artists can choose from three newly developed nib types: Art Pen 2 Carbon Shaft POM nibs, Art Pen 2 POM nibs and Art Pen 2 Felt nibs, each designed to deliver a distinctive drawing feel. The pen comes with an Art Pen 2 Carbon Shaft POM tip installed. These nibs are exclusive to the Wacom Art Pen 2 and are not interchangeable with the Wacom Pro Pen 3 nibs.

The Wacom Art Pen 2, is compatible with Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14 and Wacom Intuos Pro (PTK470/ PTK670/PTK870), Wacom Cintiq 16 (DTK168) and Wacom Cintiq 24 (DTK246) and Wacom Cintiq 24 touch (DTH246). Wacom Cintiq Pro (DTH172 / DTH227 / DTH271) will be supported within the year.
