Sketching on the iPad

Over the last few weekends I have been playing with the iPad as a drawing tool, discovering all sorts of possibilities with various sketching and painting applications.  Yesterday, I had a bit of a play with Sketchclub which was recommended to me last week by Geri from My Heart Art. It was loads of fun! Here is the little sketch I did:

I finally made use of the Impressionist painting kit I scored a few weeks ago, only as inspiration for this sketching session though. See the postcard of Renoir's 'Dance at Bougival' painting on my desk {for Work-desk Wednesday} I sat down with the postcard in hand as reference and started sketching.

I even filmed it! How cool is that? With Sketchclub you can choose to video your session and upload it to You-tube, straight from your iPad, this is one feature that really appealed to me.

Finger Painting for Grown Ups

Yesterday I discovered a drawing/painting app. for the iPad and got quite addicted to it, spending some time sitting on the couch painting with my finger. I was experimenting with all the different materials, surfaces and colours and having a ball.

I came up with the above image of Valentine. I got to the stage where I could not get any more detail with my broad finger tip so I'll have to invest in a stylus especially for drawing on the iPad, if I'd like to continue this one {or do others}.

Above are some screen shots of the app. in use, they were sourced from the iStore. I would recommend Art Set, it's an easy to use app. that emulates the studio environment without the mess.  It's got great reviews, is No. 1 on the paid apps. at the moment and it's only $0.99.
