Sketch Nr 8 - Dad

A soft one, done in middle values.
I might work more on this one later, but for now it feels right...

Pencil tool in the app "ArtRage".

Grayscale and shading. Pencil tool in the app "ArtRage" - tilted tip, light pressure, soft graphite.
I quite like the result.

Sketch Nr 4 - Twice as nice

Today I practiced cross-hatching. Again on the iPad with the app "ArtRage" - although I really wanted to switch to the actual sketchbook and pencil, I kept going.

And since you can save your work at any point and continue working on a copy, I though I'd show you both the black & white version as well as the next step, with color added.

Which one do you prefer?

Sketch Nr 3 - Omar S.

Again, inspired by one of those great classic movies... again David Lean, but this time "Dr. Zhivago". I know, it's really kitsch-y but once every few years...!

And again, made with "ArtRage" on iPad. This time I discovered the palette knive - almost as much fun as actually moving point on your canvas. But I still prefer the real thing.

Sketch Nr 2 - Sis

Another sketch - again digital, but this time made with "ArtRage" on iPad.This is more of a full-fledged painting app, you can choose from a dozend different tools, different pre-sets, even customize the paper or canvas you're sketching on and define your own color pallet.

To get used to the tools, I started with the pencil again, sketching and tracing the most important features. Then moved on to a mix of brush (oil and some watercolor), a little bit of pen and - airbrush. So today I shouldn't be surprised the outcome has this 'soft filter' look again, should I?
