Just depends on what you're trying to communicate.

You're so right about the character of the lines in the second one: it makes all the difference. Maybe embrace the squiggliness when using the first technique. Of course, it's for each of us to find our own "voice" in whatever medium we use and I like your bold, saturated, looser second try.

I have played a lot with the Sketch Club App but I stopped using it because I hated my stylus. I don't recall which one it is but it had a tip that didn't flow smoothly across the ipad. My ipad also has one of those protective clear sheets applied to keep the viewing area in nice shape. Are you happy with the stylus you are using? I may have to look into that one.Terri Stegmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937147195403484110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-59640244633400822842014-01-15T05:27:23.318-08:002014-01-15T05:27:23.318-08:00I really like your drawings.

I wouldn't want my oil painting to look like a watercolor. You've inspired me to play some more with my ipad.

The second is definitely acrylic. Interesting and it makes me want to play.

The first one seems much freer to me and the second tighter and busier making me think it was more a direct copy of the photo than the first.

Take a small 6" rular and put felt or fun foam pieces on the ends. The felt/ff will not conduct electricity when you put it on the screen or whatever our finger "transmits" and you have a bridge to rest your wrist. Haven't tried it just heard of it.PatriciaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354638582568121920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-33433723982646888432014-01-14T16:05:20.725-08:002014-01-14T16:05:20.725-08:00Terry.

I&#...Terry. Love seeing your progress/experiments.<br />I'm assuming you are using Sketch Club?<br />If you go to ArtRage and use the pencil on a textured paper you might like the lines better. Something I do to beef up the lines is duplicate the drawing layer twice and then merge those layers.<br />Another tric is to duplicate the layer with the painting (works in both apps) then play with the layer modes on the top layer only - usually overlay, soft light or maybe lighten or even hue will add pizzazz to the color - you have to play around because sniffle rent colors will react differently.PatriciaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354638582568121920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-25873843980522520132014-01-14T15:57:34.405-08:002014-01-14T15:57:34.405-08:00My ipad cover has a little shelf that I rest my ha...My ipad cover has a little shelf that I rest my hands on when I type, maybe something like that could help, too?
