iPad Painting of an Apple
The iPad is a revolutionary device capable of changing the way we view the internet and interact with the digital world. Although it does have it's setbacks (the inability to play Flash content), it is still a remarkable device. In the Art world, it is starting to get noticed as a powerful tool for creating artwork. Artists like David Hockney have started to use the iPad and the iPhone to create art. Many digital artists have quickly latched on to the fact that the iPad and iPhone can be used to create digital paintings. In fact, three covers of the "New Yorker" have been created using the iPhone, an app called "Brushes", and a finger. Recently, I posted an article about the future of art and the use of the iPad as the new sketchbook. There's no need to lug around materials or paper. All you need is the iPad, oh and your finger.
I decided to take a shot at digital painting on the iPad. I downloaded the $4.99 app at the app store called "Brushes". And then I began to paint. It took some getting used to. I frequently paint in Adobe Photoshop with a tablet and use the brush options to change the attributes of the mark. This allows me to paint rather intuitively. Painting on the iPad is a bit different, but equally rewarding. In fact, it forces you to be more loose with your marks, which I think can be a good thing. You really must concentrate on your use of cross contours and be deliberate with your mark-making. I think that this will equate to improvement in your traditional drawing skills as well. So if you're looking for a new sketchbook, why not try an iPad?
