Day 042

Downloaded the app "SketchBook Express". I've used Sketchbook Pro when I demo'd at MacWorld but I never got the hang of the user interface. But I decided to give the iphone app a try.
I've heard of artist that use a stylus type pen to draw....similar to a Nintendo DS. But this requires you to use your finger. The biggest gripe that I had is that this app did not recognize a few of my strokes....as if it FROZE, causing a little frustration. You also have to be careful when selecting a tool because you can easily make an unwanted dot smack in the middle of your illustration. Just like anything unfamiliar or new......It'll take some time to get used to.

  1. Sweet! I don't have an iphone or ipod touch, but when the ipad comes out (and I cave in and buy one) I may have to get this app. Lovin' your apples.

  2. Thanks Bobby! I tried another Sketch Express doodle the next day and failed miserably, LOL. Went back to painting in photoshop :)
