the new sketch pad


it will never replace the joy of pencil against paper, but this iphone app sure is fun. i have used it to create at least one study for a painting, and to work through some compositional issues. and then there are days like this where i just wanted to recreate the yellow of the street light on a gray morning. it's great for expressing light.

  1. like dipping a finger in watered-down ink and dragging it across the space. i would never have though iphone app.

  2. Envy, envy. I actually bought an iPod Touch so I could do this, but I couldn't get it to work -- I think Apple and I are incompatible. But I played with one the other day and found it irresistible. Probably just as well that the chemistry with Apple was all wrong
