Over the past few weeks I have been experimenting with using my iPad as a drawing\/painting tool. The sketches below were created by tracing on an existing image – usually a photograph. So this is not “freehand” drawing per se – but given my limited talents that may not be such a bad idea.<\/p>\n

What you need for this is a drawing\/sketching App that allows you to draw in layers. You place your photo on one layer and draw on the layer above it. This way you don’t mess up the photograph and you can separate your sketch from the photo. Once you are done, all you do is delete the photograph-layer and there it is, a lovely (well that’s subjective) hand-drawn sketch.<\/p>\n

As you can see I started with simple line-drawings, and over time have tried branching out a bit, through the use of shading and now, even color.<\/p>\n

A typical sketch takes around 20 – 30 minutes (sometimes less) – and I have found it just a fantastic way to relax. Creative relaxation… what else can one wish for.<\/p>\n

Enjoy<\/p>\n
