Golf Tank

Here is a more proper test drive of Sketchbook on the iPad. I'm starting to get used to the app, it's pretty slick once you get a hang of the UI.

Here are the pencil settings that I used... I like the way this feel the best so far.









Loose lines, using the same pencil, on 2 separate layers... Initial loose sketch with the layer opacity turned down. Top layer lines at 100 percent.



Both layers of the line work






Added golf bag.... Wanted to make it a bit more silly, and started in on color.







Finished :)

iPad Sketchbook test drive

Put in a little playtime with Sketchbook Pro for the iPad tonight. I use Sketchbook Pro for the tablet pc everyday at work, so I have high hopes for the iPad version. It's pretty amazing, but does take a little while to get use to the UI, much like the Brushes app. Drawing and painting apps for the iPad should have commonly used tools always visible, and not a few layers deep. The most important tools, like opacity, color, and brush size, should be on the UI! Maybe both of these apps will change the UI in upcoming updates. I understand the need to embed tools deep on the iPhone version, but the iPad has more than enough screen real estate! Adobe Ideas has a better UI, with sliders for opacity and brush size, near your thumb as you hold the tablet, but it's not really a drawing or painting app. Overall, Sketchbook on the iPad is good for sketching and line work, but I still like Brushes better for painting.... The way the brushes and colors work, just feels better, but I can't tell you why. Sketchbook's pencil does a nice job at simulating pressure sensitivity with line width and opacity changes though, which brushes lack.

My first iPad painting

iPad freaking rocks. It's so nice to have a big screen to paint on, instead of the iPhone. This is not only a great everyday web and game machine for me, but a great art tool. This was done with Brushes, I also will be trying the iPad out with Sketchbook soon. With every new device or software, it always takes me a few art pieces before i get into the groove of it. Sketchbook pro for the pc is what I use at work everyday, and the iPad version has a lot of the same function, much more than the iPhone version has..... More to come soon!
