Paper 53: Journal Page

Drawn with Paper 53

I did this at my friend Cathey's house while she finished cooking dinner. It's her centerpiece.

Niece Portrait from Instagram

My niece lives in New York and teaches dance. I always admire her selfies and decided to draw one on my iPad using Paper 53. Some things are not perfect but that is why I practice.

Playing with Paper 53: In the Clinic

Waiting to see Principal

I really prefer to draw on paper, but it is always good to learn new things. I really want to get better using my iPad, Paper 53 and pencil. I did some quick in the clinic portraits (no face detail) then I tried to do some student portraits with facial detail.

AEDM: Day 16 Cormorant

The Cormorant they have striking blue eyes. Once again I almost didn't have any art for today. Sunday is a day of worship for my family. I also had some volunteer work to do, so art was pushed to the very end.
Once again I did a bird. I drew and colored this bird on my iPad using 53 and the pencil. Then I cleaned it up in Photoshop. I just wasn't in the mood to sit at my desk and draw while football is on.

AEDM: Day 5 & 6

I am still setting myself free, although time is limited, this is what I did today. The first is a painting in my Giant Sketchbook. I just go with the flow. "When a  Blue cloud is over you and you are praying for it to go away. Remember there is hope in the waiting. Psalm 59:9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defense.

Day 5: Blue trying to take over

Day 6: Self portrait

The second illo is from my iPad and paper 53. I need to practice the things I forgot about using the pencil. It's a portrait of me with my favorite jean jacket on.

CED: Art Everyday Month Day 6:1 & 2

So I missed the opening of Art Everyday Month, here are to pictures two catch me back up.

 The first is a drawing I did of my daughter with her Halloween costume as a Vampire with really long lashes. For the second illustration I went to the library to practice drawing people on my iPad. This older man was in the reference room working at a computer.

New App: Paper 53-I think I'm in luv!

So while surfing I came across this app called paper 53. It is a space to create with digital ink. This was my very first time trying it. I think it has great potential for me. The first drawing utensil is free but the others cost a $1.99 each or you can just by the Essential Kit for  $6.99, but you still have to buy the mixer. I was so excited about buying the pencil stylus, but to my dismay my iPad 2 is obsolete. The pencil will not work with it because it does not have retina display. I still might purchase it and try it out own my husbands iPad mini. Also you can have your illustrations turn into a moleskine. Watch video - I'm in love with this, I can't wait to finish a journal.
