Richard’s 63 Chevy

There it was. Right in the Save Mart parking lot in broad daylight.

Lesson Pre-Plan

These drawing apps are complicated; sometimes in their potential simplicity, sometimes in their actual complexity. I’m working on a lesson for my next class focusing on ONLY two of the many Sketches tools, the mechanical pencil and the airbrush. This is currently the only app we’re working with.
Tools
We’ll do some warm-ups and then practice settings in size and opacity for each, then play around with some simple figures, e.g., cube, sphere, cone, etc. along with some strokes, movements, and feels. Then we’ll attempt the eye again using only these two tools.

Expecting a call

I really like Sketch Club in terms of a few brushes, sketchy and procedural stipple. Stipple’s like painting in the air with sparklers.

Ms. Davis Goes To Washington, Again

Ms Davis

So I get my express replacement iPad Pro from Apple this evening via Fedex. Hooray! And what’s the first thing I practice on? A caricature of sorts of a famous, but somewhat rebellious public servant who, as it turned out, attended the State of the Union Address.

Old Man Face 2.0

Why that title? Why the 2.0? Yesterday I was in the mood to practice facial features, particularly wrinkles. I needed some inspiration. I needed even more practice. So I looked up “old face” and “wrinkles” and bumped into an interesting photo, which happened to be tied to a 12/25/11 post at this cool blog, Source of Inspiration. I got my inspiration and practice.
Technical: Since my iPad Pro is being swapped out with a new one because of a small display issue, I used my old iPad, Procreate, and a sty-HD stylus. Incidentally, I ordered an Apple Pencil that’s due to arrive in early February. Give me time. Here’s yesterday’s practice image followed by an accelerated progress video:
