A day before Christmas it arrived, the long wanted iPad. Of course a gadget one can live without perfectly, but what a fantastic gadget! Why did I want the iPad so badly? Because it is the coolest digital sketchbook ever ;-) No, correction, it is a compleet portable art studio!
Ik ben eerst eens begonnen met de aanschaf van 3 essentiele apps, Artrage, Paper en Procreate. Het kost even wat, maar dan heb je ook wat.
First I dived into the Appstore and bought 3 cool apps, Artrage, Paper and Procreate. You need to spend a little bit to have a lot of fun.
Paper is een vrij simpele app. Niet te veel toeters en bellen, vooral geschikt voor snelle schetsen en/of aantekeningen. Werkt heerlijk, en is simpel te begrijpen. Je kunt verschillende schetsboeken aanmaken, en het ziet er heel leuk uit.
Paper is a fairly simple app. Not too much options, but more than enough to do quick sketsches or jot down ideas. Works fantastic, and easy to understand. You can use different sketchbooks, and it just looks cute.
Artrage is a drawing/painting app with lots of features. A variety of brushes, pencils, markers, different kind of papers and, in my opinion, the best watercolourpaint. You can work with lots of layers, even record your painting in a script, anyway, too much to cover here. Getting to really know this app might take some time!
Deze tekening heb ik helemaal in Artrage gemaakt, met een digitaal stempel van Octopode Factory.
The drawing below I made with Artrage, using a cute digital stamp by Octopode Factory.
And Procreate. An awesome app too, lots of possibilities, such as creating your own unique brushes. Again, this app will take some time to fully understand.
I think it is pretty clear I am very happy with my new toy :-) I'm off to play some more and like to wish you all a fantastic New Years Eve!
