So, what do the pictures below have in common (other than a less-than-usual adherance to form and proportion)?
They were all created using 'Sketchbook' rather than Photoshop.
'Big wow' I hear you say but the cool thing about Sketchbook is not that it offers an easy to use alternative to more expensive competitors (it retails at £1.79) but rather that it's an iPhone app.
The pictures below were constructed variously in the time between customers at work, on lunchbreak or, in the case of the last one, during the finale of the BBC's superb Moffat/Gatiss reworking of Sherlock Holmes- 'Sherlock' (Masterful, really really just bloody good television).
The app features a very respectable selection of tools and brushes, allows you to fiddle with layers and filters and even gives you a free-transform tool which, thanks to the touch interface is actually much easier to use than the one in photoshop- nifty.
From time to time I may upload more of these little pocket artworks, if nothing else creating them is teaching me better use of brushes and such- something I have historically never been too good at (always been more of a sketcher).
Hope you like these, and please forgive me if they're a bit rough- it's surprisingly hard to paint with your fingertip.
Beware 'Nudey Burning Chick'! I sometimes use this one to demonstrate the power of the iPhone for customers. I'm all 'Dude- I totally painted this in my iPhone' and they're all 'No way! You're a big fat liar!'
This is actually one of the first sketches of DECONSTRUCTED's Sophie I ever did!
And this is one of the most recent. The weird framing is to hide the fact that her body mysteriously stops at the shoulders.
