Drawing on the iPad

Drawn

I decided to retire my old tablet, an eeepad from Asus, and replacing it with an iPad retina. What a difference! I used to draw in sketchbook pro on my tablet, and then take it into photoshop on my laptop, but with the new amazing world of drawing apps that has opened up to me, I think photoshop will be sitting alone collecting dust …..most of the time.

Procreate and iDraw are my new best friends, those two programs, combined with the iPad can almost completely eliminate the need for photoshop and illustrator. It will take me some time to get used to drawing on the iPad, not to mention not going Wow! Every other second, but I'm sure that in time me and my new buddies will be creating a lot of good stuff together.

Today I tried getting to know iDraw, and the result is this Mary Blair / Wiinblad inspired drawing. Designed and drawn with vectors in iDraw, and then exported to Procreate for some textures.

Absolutely enjoying spring – it took awhile for it to get here, but now that it has, I’m try trying to get the most out of it.

something in the rain.

Lately I’ve been experimenting with different kinds of textures, and last Saturday I sat down and to try yet another technique involving textures. I started out by drawing 4 ellipses, colored them in with a flat color, and then the fun began. Using different textures, and papers I had lying around, I used the stamp tool, and added the textures on to my image. At some point this little guy emerged, and he was begging for fur, so I gave him fur, one hair at the time, switching colors as I went along.

Long overdue, but it's finally here, the new design for the home of my illustrations. It still misses a few tweaks here and there, so you might see a few changes over the next few weeks. However after a week of non-stop coding PHP and CSS, I desperately need to get back into drawing mode.

There is a few project which needs my attention, like illustrating a picture book about a little boy with adhd, and two other books. One about a boy and his cat, and not wanting to go to school, and the second about a kid who can't wake up until something special happens….
