I'm using the free sketchbook app on my ipad to draw while I'm out and about. There's some things I really wished it had (like clip layers and cropping..) but it's handy and free and feels comfortable for doodling. I really want to upgrade to procreate but I'm only going to do so after 100 drawings to prove it's financially worthwhile.



Also... backgrounds. who needs 'em?

Messing around with the adobe sketchbook app on ipad and it's a bit hard to use because it's too realistic, which is odd, but I'm too used to static digital tools and not faux-realistic watercolours that expand and drip, and whatnot.

What programs do you guys use for digital art on your tablets (preferably ipad-friendly)? I've been using autodesk sketchbook but while I like the pens, I hate the lack of clipping masks, editing and layer options.

Spending a few hours hanging out for an event every Tuesday... so I've been trying to sneakily doodle people and surroundings. I'm no good at this stuff because everyone keeps moving god drat it, but at least I'm getting practise.

May 2nd: realised that parking myself in front of a tourist attraction meant I could do life studies of people holding the same position for their selfies.



May 3rd: work hard. art level effort: 0.

Live study stick figures from the lakeside the past week. I think I'm already seeing some improvements in terms of capturing motion and stuff when you compare the first picture (4th of May) to the second (12th of May)?

I turned 30, and I have decided for my 30th that instead of thinking about wanting to be a good artist one day, I'm going to work more actively at it.



Doodling headshots of the people sitting in the row ahead when bored in a lecture hall is surprisingly fun.

But I've found that I can't conceptualise the skull shape or a perfect circle, I always end up with an oval. I can only draw heads if I start with a box?

Heads aren't circles or boxes anyway, so problem solved!

The profile shot on the bottom left illustrates the problem with the approach. The ears are about where the back of the head ends, where the back of the neck starts, and where the jaw meets the cranium; the front of the head is on the order of twice as tall as the back of the head.

Now you point it out, I can see what you mean... And yet trying to address it is 12055% hell.



Trying to follow the loomis method and... I am bad at it.

A lot of artists on twitter are doing start of the decade/end of the decade stuff, where they redraw art from 2009, but my earliest art I can find is... 2011. But I did it anyway because it's fun.



You guys should do it too even if you don't have anything from 2009 (if you want), it's fun to see even tiny progress.
