iPhone Sketch for 334

We went to Austin for Gene's checkup all good by the way.

I decided to do a quick sketch on the iPhone when we got inside the doctor's office for Scavenger Hunt 334.  We only waited about 5 - 10 minutes so I didn't get very far.  I was looking out at the parking lot at the noisy traffic going by on the freeway.  Number 11 (maybe, the numbers got messed up), noisy.

The front of the truck is far from the trailer.  I was using the DrawCast app which I haven't used for a while so part of my time was figuring that out.  At my age, I need lots of review.

For my art link:

I've been following Keith for a couple of years.  Fun to see his urban sketches.

I have this quote on my wetcanvas signature and it is my philosophy, too:

I cannot pretend to feel impartial about colors.  I rejoice with the brilliant ones and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns. -- Winston Churchill

Apples in iPhone

I did another quick sketch on the iPhone with Brushes. It is fun, remember this is just a sketch. I like the colors and the "paint brush" look it has. I decided that I should post it on Jeanette's Apple Challenge even if it is a sketch. I have posted on her challenge already with my acrylic apples, Ivy's Apples.

This is so loud you can hear it before you see it. Hmmm.

First iPhone Sketch

Oh, what fun the iPhone is for sketching! I confiscated Gene's phone for a while this morning and tried to do a quick sketch on Brushes, a painting app (application). The app was $4.99. There are some others that I will check out when I get my own iPhone. Ha.

I had about 5 - 10 minutes of actual sketching and about 20-25 minutes to learn how to switch from brush to eraser (I didn't use that much), etc. The eraser is actually like a brush as you can make it in colors and vary the transparency. I also had to learn how to "undo" (Regina's disliked tool in digital 'painting') and change colors. It is good for my old brain for sure. Keep the grey matter busy. My excuse for the unfinished look is that Gene had to leave and took his phone!

One thing I kept doing was trying to move the sketch with my painting finger. Any touch makes a mark. To move the image around and make it larger or smaller you use two fingers. I got better as I went along, but that was what required the 'undo' button. A big plus is, that I saved it to the photo gallery on the phone and then sent it to myself via e-mail. Then when I received it, I downloaded it directly to iPhoto for storage or editing of size. I am amazed.

This is sketch number 4, peanut butter and jelly, for Scavenger Hunt 148. Sketched with new "Brushes" on the iPhone. The bottom ellipses were better before I put in the table, but as I said Gene was leaving and I had to do that very quickly, right?
