SketchBook Mobile!

My favorite drawing program, SketchBook Pro, now has an iPhone app! Took me a couple of hours of testing out brush settings, to finally get the look and feel of the PC version.

There is no pressure sensitivity, obviously, but it can simulate it, just takes a bit of getting used to. So which app is better.... Brushes or SketchBook Mobile? Well SketchBook is better for drawing, and Brushes is better for painting :) but to be fair though, I have not played with SketchBook Mobile nearly as much as Brushes.



One thing that I wished SketchBook Mobile has, is the ability to make speed paintings and export super high res like Brushes. And maybe one day both app would support export of psd's...

Just another quick iPhone doodle

The Wait

Just another random painting... I had no idea or plan going into it, sort of just formed on it's own. I am now wondering who or what he is waiting for though...

goldfish and robot

Did 2 quick iPhone paintings tonight, goldfish and robot. I'm pleased with the way goldfish turned out :)

eagleman and pimpkin

A couple of more iphone paintings. Not sure where ideas come from, but I guess I was trying to make eagleman some alternate universe Gatchaman or something. And pimpkin...alternate universe Cinderella pumpkinmobile?

Speed Painting videos (iphone brushes app)

Some speed painting videos of the previous post:




























Soon after posting these videos on youtube, "water play" got on youtube's spotlight videos, and getting lots of hits :) Then my buddy at MAKE blogged about these vids! thanks Gareth!

My very first post - iphone art

Here is my very first blog post.... it's a collection of quick paintings made on the iphone using Brushes app. This represents just a tad over a month of play on my free time, taking anywhere from about 1/2 hr to 1 & 1/5 hr each. Most are of my son, just trying to learn this painting nonsense :)
