RE: Imaginary Creatures - year of the Dog - @Zeroooc contest entry & timelapse

in #dtube7 years ago

It was really fun to watch you work it all out as far as how you wanted the dog and your experiment with the wings. I'm about to start getting more involved in working digitally.

I have an Ipad pro that someone gave me a while back, but so far I haven't used it for anything other than playing with garage band. I will have to check out this Procreate app. I feel like there is a reproduction joke in there somewhere, but decided to leave it alone. Are there any other fun art apps that you would suggest?

Sort:  

it's weirdly entertaining to watch, isn't it? It's a strange feeling for me too because you just watch it like someone else is drawing it and not you. Very odd. In a good way XD

There is almost definitely a reproduction joke in there. heee heee

it's amazing. it's so cheap for what it can do. if you do end up getting it, I recommend watching a few youtube tutorials or "10 best procreate features" lists or something. Some of the essential features are not necessarily obvious at first glance.
There are a lot of people doing lettering with it, which is kinda neat, I found mainly tutorials done by those, but I've even seen people who now work exclusively on the Ipad Pro + apple pencil and procreate, for their professional work too. It's quite the powerful tool.
Total game changer in my opinion.

honestly, I got my IpadPro fro christmas (so not too long agao) and I had always planned to use it pretty much exclusively for drawing, (otherwise there's no point to getting an Ipad pro, really) so I don't really know of any other apps :P
The friendly peeps in the mac shop do though. If you can be arsed to go and ask lol
Did you get the apple pencil with that Ipad too? It's kinda an essential tool, you don't really want to be trying to draw with your fingers.. haha

It is a little strange to be outside yourself so to speak watching yourself. I feel the same way when I do my speed painting videos. I think, damn this video makes it look easy and then I remember how much I actually struggled during the progress.

Yeah I'm waiting to download it until I go get the pencil for it. I thought I had a stylus here that would work, but the ipad doesn't seem to respond to it.

haha omg yes I know what you mean. because it might record the things oyu erase/repaint but it doesn't record the endles hesitations in-between, the canvas flipping, the looking up reference to get a grip of whatever you're struggling with, the endless pondering
which colour? what do I do now? if I place this here.. Is this an ok composition? oh god I SUCK!
hahaha XD

aahh yes. the apple world domination machine won't let you use other tech, didn't you know? XD
you need to "plug in" the apple pencil to "pair" it with the ipad, I believe it works with blutooth? Anyway, as everything, it's made so it's only compatible with other apple products. obviously. because you need to give them ALL YOUR MONEY, you see? lol

good luck, maybe you can somehow purchase a used one from somewhere? they're like a hundred bucks a pop all new. >->

Really nice work , keep it up!
