My Art - Eye see you 5

It has been quite a while since I've last painted, and painted with my iPhone. So here it is, decided to do another eye series. Sketchbook mobile with iPhone 5.

My art - happy Valentine's day 2013

Wishing all couples out there a very happy valentine's.

My art - Ironman Mark V

Finally, after long last. My setup was completed a while ago and this piece was done all with Sketchbook Pro on my Macbook Air. :)

It's in conjunction with the upcoming movie release of Avengers.. 4ssemble!

My art - A tribute to Whitney Houston

Sad news broke out the other day of the passing of Whitney Houston. I'm not a big fan but I think most of us know her by "I will always love you"...

We would and will.. always love you Whitney... R.I.P....

Painted this one based on photo reference on my iPad as a tribute to her.

My art - series of pencil art styles

It has been awhile again, due to laziness and tiredness and busyness... anyway, posting up these paintings I've made not long ago... with my iPad and Sketchbook Pro.

Good bye 2011

Made 3 version, 1st one is clean from Sketchbook Pro for iPad.

From Snapseed, a powerful photo editing app... adds the bokeh effect around the sides.

Last but not least, with Halftone with all the crazy comic balloon conversation boxes to go.

Bye 2011, thanks for the memories!

The Perfect Bait

The other day came back from work and found this parcel at my desk.

Upon seeing this address, I know what it is....

Haha, Art work... well, it's something related to art work but definitely not one. But nevertheless thank you for their handling and care on that.. Appreciated!

Here's the book I've been waiting for, from 1 of my favorite artist of all time - Bobby Chiu. It caters mostly for start up artist who wants to be inspired and motivated to attract clients to sell their art work to or even provide service. However, it contained more than that, including years of experience accumulated by Bobby himself and also from the artists he met along the way and their advice as well. All, bundled into a few chapters in this book.

I've finished reading it and thought it's a very nice book, to fully take it into effect one must really learn and embrace Bobby's advice.

Well done Bobby, and thanks for sharing!

Merry Christmas 2011

I think I have missed creating 1 piece of Christmas art last year. I don't want to miss it out this year. Painted half way and the app crashed with only partial save, frustrated but picked myself up and continued immediately to make the date.

Merry Christmas to everyone, may you have a wonderful Christmas. :)

My art - Apple of my eye

Well, not exactly the real Apple of my eye but really nice nevertheless. :)

Finger + stylus painted on iPhone with Sketchbook.

My art - =)

Well, first piece done with the Wacom bamboo stylus for tablet.... fairly accurate I must say though still no where near as natural or accurate as an actual stylus... :)

Wacom Bamboo Stylus

Finally after a long run, I managed to locate this thing at local Apple re-seller. It was a surprise as I didn't think it would be there. this thing was sold out at their website when it was first launched.

The package was quite neat. Plain white box, the plastic container housing the stylus firmly grasp it waiting for you to take it out. 2 more pamphlet containing some information on how actually twist the top cap and remove it and thus having the option to remove the pen clip off the pen. some people might actually prefer this but I'll leave it as it is for now.

The pen feels solid, I think it's made out of some aluminium or steel materials. there's a considerable amount of weight on it and the texture on the grip feels nice. The tip of the stylus was claimed by Wacom to be one of the thinnest among the stylus that's available on the market today. Having bought 2 styluses before, I can attest to this.

The tip itself is soft rubber similar to other stylus I have been using.

Immediately launched Wacom's Bamboo Paper app which suppose to act like a real notebook for you to jot down some notes or do quick sketches. Overall it feels quite nice and natural, much like writing on a real notebook and a pen itself. Excuse my hand writing here... haha.

The main disadvantage is still there, being a capacitive screen has its disadvantage as well. It senses our touch from skin. Meaning, you have to lift your palm away from the screen when you draw/write. It will register as a touching point and will screw up the pen's recognition as well.

I'm thinking of getting some sort of glove which i can put in and insulate my palm from the screen so that it can rest there. :)

Until then, more tests to come from this baby. =)

Hope it's worth it...

My art - Moo

While waiting for my friend to have his beef noodle....

My art - girl portrait practice 3

Another midnight sketch/paint series. continuing girl portrait practice.

Sketchbook pro with Wacom.

My art - Golden Pheasent

finger painted with sketchbook pro on iPad... getting rusty... =___= almost gave up half way... but I've persisted...

My art - Smile 5

ahh.. finally hauled my lazy butt to continue painting... hate it when you're pretty much occupied and free time reduced to nothing but rest and just tiny bits of time left...

guess that's no reason to stay stagnant isn't it? :)

hopefully the groove comes back to me.. keep paintin'~

My art - 福兔

1st painting for 2011 and just in time for Chinese New Year 2011 - year of the rabbit!

wishing all readers a wonderful and prosperous year ahead and stay healthy!

My art - Smile 1

Created with a new app -> ArtRage for iPad. so far is the most powerful painting app available for iPad. including unlimited layers, blending modes, unlimited undo, a lot of brushes and the first on iPad - paper textures. haven't really explored all yet and the app does perform slowly in some areas e.g. when opening layers, I fully understand as given the amount of features it would really push iPad to the max and the app does crashed 2 - 3 times during the creation of this painting... I think future updates should make it more stable ^^

anyway, going to explore more but so far sketchbook pro is still my fav app.. ^^
