I've been getting quite into Paint Pad. I didn't realise how much I missed drawing. I really wanted to create more like the
Beast. These are far more complicated and take a lot more time. I had a real disaster today copying this Iron Man
photo. I had spent
three hours on it when my phone decided to restart itself. Seriously, I was pissed. Like, FML, emo, wrist-slitting pissed. The save function is pretty annoying on this app so I hadn't been doing it as I went along. It was my favourite piece yet and I was so close to finishing when it crapped out on me. Let that be a lesson to you kids at home: "Always save your work".
Anyway, in the twisted logic that comes from that kind of frustration, I decided that I didn't want to let technology beat me. I needed to finish drawing
something. Eventually I settled on doing a self-portait. This is my first ever attempt and admittedly I think it shows. Anyway, judge for yourselves.

My version
Seeing as I saved regularly this time, I was able to build up a slideshow of my progress, which you can view
here. It's annoying when you're working, but this is a pretty cool bonus.
All of these are scarily impressive. Granted, coming from someone who finds stick-figures challenging...
ReplyDeleteHa, thanks. I think most of them turned out better than I thought. I'm still quite a novice at this, so I didn't expect much.
ReplyDeleteDigital art is kinda cheating because it makes the whole process so much easier. I'd most likely never be able to create these on paper.
