Digital Sketches / Paintings

[Sekishi]

Hi all,

I wrote earlier today in another thread about our little sailboat (Miss Hannah), and remembered that a while back I did a digital sketch / painting of her with the "Procreate" app on the ipad. Tokoda mentioned the other day that he uses ArtRage on the iPad. I thought I would start a little thread here with some of the digital sketches / paintings I've made on the ipad over the past couple of years, but anyone else who dabbles in this method of expression is more than welcome to add stuff here.

Where we often sail - the point where the eastern and western branches of the Corrotoman river meet:

Hello again,

Here are two sketches of a set of silos on Totuskey creek that I just love. I've photographed them MANY times over the years and can see them slowly returning to the source...

Sekishi, these sketches are amazing! Almost unbelievable this can be done on an iPad.

Thank you for sharing

Hi Sekishi,

Thanks for sharing your sketches... beautiful!

These are a few sketches I've been working on using ArtRage. This one is from a photo taken on a small country road near the town of Baldones in Latvia. These old weathered and wooden barns are quite common and dot the countryside.

The following sketch is something that comes from my imagination. As a young boy I can remember going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC on school outings and being fascinated by the paintings of the Hudson River School, a group of American landscape painters from the mid 19th century.

Landscape at dusk (I started painting a sky and then added on to it, and this is the result):

I used a drawing tablet connected to my device. Just having fun while trying to enjoy the moment.

Thank you for sharing Takoda. I love how painterly these are.

And I'm pretty sure Totoro lives somewhere in that second scene. ^_^

Great work, Sekishi and Takoda! Skill involved there!

The only digital drawing I've done so far is the cover of my first book, done in ArtRage. I only have the book cover available, not just the sketch.. but it's the cat face obviously

Ongen,

Awesome, love the cover!
Reminds me of our cat when going to the vet, not exactly a happy camper.

Thanks for sharing

Now THAT is Grumpy Cat! Thank you for sharing Ongen. In other news, I learned that you wrote a book.

Sekishi,

The cat is really to be avoided throughout the book. He's a mean ****. By the way, if anyone is interested to read the book (part 1 of 3) let me know. I'll send you a digital copy! It's humor/fantasy and was originally published for free on Amazon.
I'm now in the process of translating it to Dutch, then write part 2 and 3 and translate back to English for publication

Very very cool. I want to hear more about this mean ****. Why are villains the most fun?
