But when you want precision and something that feels closer to real coloring tools, invest in a stylus. There’s nothing to stop you partaking in a bout of digital finger-painting. The best iPhone and iPad stylus for digital coloring But our app selection transforms coloring into a captivating digital experience, especially when you have a stylus – the best options for which we outline below. After all, you lose the feel of paper, and spend yet more time staring at a screen. Cue countless adult coloring books flooding store shelves, swiftly followed by a wave of apps.Ĭoloring on an iPhone or iPad might sound odd. But in recent years, clever people realized it was an excellent way to unwind. Thanks Rob and Louisa for a really special day.Relax and get creative with these virtual paint sets for adults and kidsĬoloring was once the preserve of kids – a fun, chill-out pursuit usually abandoned around the age of ten. My mind is already buzzing with ideas after spending the day with Rob and seeing how he works. I want to produce work that looks very different from my watercolour sketches and to use the iPad to stretch my visual thinking. My intention at this stage is to use my iPad for doing work with opaque media. I now have some ideas to explore in order to develop my techniques and what type of brushes I want to find and test out. I wasn’t so happy with this one but it really highlighted a few issues for me – so that was good. This is as far as I got with the second version. I was happy with the result, as parts of it really looked like my work.Īfter lunch we moved to another location (another cafe in fact) and I made two attempts at sketching the buildings opposite. I didn’t try to do an ink and wash type sketch and this seemed to work better. So I tried a different approach with a textured brush. What was appearing on the screen did not look like my work at all and was ‘too digital’ in appearance. It made me realise that my work is very dependent on the marks I get with my fountain pen (especially the Fude pen) and with my textures watercolour washes. One of the things I was struggling with was the lack of expressiveness with the marks. My first two sketches were a little bit of a mess as I tried a few different techinques and then watched Rob working for a bit of inspiration.
I actually left my sketchbook at home which meant I had to push through the uncomfortable stage of drawing with a very different medium. On Friday I met up with Rob at Bourke St Bakery with a fully charged iPad and ready to go. However a battery pack would add more weight to the digital kit!
I’m using a small A5 sketchbook at the moment, and with all my pens and watercolour it was actually a little heavier than the iPad and pencil. Really? I was a bit skeptical so I decided to weigh my kit. Rob gave an impressive talk at Sketchfest and among his arguments for why iPad sketching is so good, he mentioned weight. I had another go during an Apple workshop run by Rob in San Francisco in 2017, but since upgrading my iPad and gettinga n Apple pencil 2 years ago, I haven’t really made the time to develop my iPad sketching any further.
#Tayasui sketches apple pencil trial pro
Back then I didn’t have an iPad pro or an Apple pencil, but I did get the hang of it enough to do this sketch. Rob and his lovely wife Louisa are in Sydney at the moment so I decided it was the perfect opportunity to finally get around to sketching on my iPadĪ few years ago (2016) I started playing with Procreate and a stylus as I had to write a section in my book on digital sketching. I have a lot to catch up on (my Inktober sketches, my visit to Brisbane for Sketchfest and using an Etchr Hot press sketchbook) but I just want to share a fun day I had on Friday sketching with Rob Sketcherman.
