The drawing started as a simple doodle on my android tablet. The small nib of the Samsung Galaxy Pro Note stylus is ideal for drawing.
I often use the Artrage app for botanical type drawings. My experience is still limited but I am improving.
For this drawing, I practiced curving petals of orchid dahlias. The shade is from my imagination.
This vector started as an Adobe capture of cattails in a metal vase on a bookcase in my office. With the image saved in Lightroom, I could edit directly on the computer with Photoshop or with an app on the iPad or the Samsung Galaxy tablet.
I decided to trace the capture with the Infinite Design app on the Android tablet. It is a fun app with many tools. For this drawing, I tried all of them.
Infinite Design is a great addition to my Android tablet.
I started this drawing with the SketchBook Pro app on a Samsung Galaxy Pro Note and finished on a computer with Photoshop.
I needed the practice of using guides.
With Lightroom on my tablet, sending a layered drawing to my computer is a breeze.
With each drawing, I learn something new.
This painting started as a sketch on paper. Lots of erasing and smudging.
Not transferring to a clean sheet of tracing paper before scanning is a mistake.
With ArtRage 4. I lighten the background and used the palette knife to turn the smudges into texture.
I create colour schemes for many reasons.
Painter Mobile is a great way to test a combo on a line drawing.
Still needs work.
Ideal for drawing, sketching, and experimentation of new techniques. This paper is bright, durable, easily erasible, and smudge-resistant. Each page has a smooth side and a vellum side. 60 pages.

My projects begin on paper and completed with one of several drawing applications on my laptop. The artist who created this video only needs pencils and paper.
I finally found a more comfortable way to ink my sketches.
I took a photo with my android tablet camera.
Imported the photo into #Corel Mobile.
With the ballpoint pen brush, I retraced the lines.
The higher contrast made it possible to use the background eraser in Photoshop.
With the distracting background removed, I can smooth out the wiggly lines.
My drawing focus right now is on irises. Two species are blooming in the garden but not the class that I need. Drawing from photos is not the same.
It’s too windy right now to sit in the garden and sketch. I used a photo I took last year of one of the ‘pumilas’, as they prefer to call them here.
My daily practice sketch. This time with the Pen & Ink iPad app. The nib of my stylus makes it difficult to draw more precise lines. When I do get a fine point stylus, it should be easier.
I am expecting an Android tablet in the next week or so. Looking forward to trying out drawing apps on it.
