Digital Paintbox

In these past few weeks, I have had the pleasure of exploring further the use of the digital paintbox in on the iPad.

First, I have been quite intrigued and really having fun using the Inkpad app to create vector drawings. As I was working on a few work projects, all that doodling came in very useful - posters, game board, and website design.


On top of that, I was also able to create a teaching resource as a personal project - pdf activity sheets, game cards and a TinyTap game.



Yesterday, I learned loads from Rob Sketcherman about the use of the Procreate app as part of the Bandung Sketchwalk International Edition. Nothing like hearing from someone who has discovered the power of this great app because he shared practical tips and with great passion. This is truly a wonderful app and I look forward to creating with it. This is what I put together during the workshop.


A big thank you to all the creative minds who created these 2 wonderful apps for the iPad, and for the inspiring works that many artists who have started using the digital paintbox with such flourish! The digital paintbox sure opens up a whole new world for playing and working with visual arts.

Bandung

Was away in Indonesia for a week, first at Jakarta and then Bandung. Sketched while waiting for my flight home from Bandung.

Urban Sketchers

This community of folks who come together regularly to go places and sketch has grown in numbers and diversity. And they will be launching a book this coming Friday at the URA Centre.

You can also pre-order the book at a special price. Click here.

Sketchwalk: Margaret Drive

A pleasant morning today spent at Margaret Drive with fellow sketchwalkers.

This place used to be my usual lunchtime haunt when I was working at Kay Siang. With a few buildings demolished, the place already looks desolate.

I especially like this piece that showed the majestic trees that must have witnessed the heydays of this area. Could they have been there even before the buildings?

Sketchwalk: Cityhall

Spent a great Saturday morning at Cityhall and the old Supreme Court with the Sketchwalkers. We had a history expert share intriguing nuggets along the way. The architectural detail and history there are wonderful.

I drew exclusively with my (economical) fountain pen. The works of the others, especially with watercolour, were very impressive.


The grey tones for this was added digitally.

One of the sketchwalkers, Parka, took some cool photos.


And I love this closing shot by Carol.
