I have been playing with the Procreate App
on my ipad at nighttime while we Netflix.
'While we Netflix.' Heheheh. Like it's a verb!
I took this background I had saved online and
uploaded it into the app to tangle on.
To make the background I used Daler Rowney
Acrylic Artists Inks and water on a sheet of
Paper. I did a whole bunch of backgrounds
and saved them before I drew on them.
Glad I did, too! Cause I can tangle on all of them
in the Procreate app - as many times as I want to!
The colors in this background don't really speak
of underwater sea life, but that is totally where
my brain went. So my pen went along for a
journey and we started tangling up some airways
and some printemps-armed-wavy-thingies
that I really like a lot!
Gotta have shading to makes things have dimension.
I am still figuring this part out in the program,
so I tried 'flat marker' this time and I like it.
Overall. Still a learning process.
I liked the tangle combination so much I continued on
and added more of both tangles.
I thought I was done, but I felt like the piece
needed one more little airways blob
in that upper corner.
I was shading as I went along,
I didn't want to forget.
And then I was finished.
So much fun!
A whole little group of anemones.
Maybe that is what I will name that
wavy-armed-blob-thingy!
Interested in the Hahnemühle Harmony?
You can purchase some right here.
Enjoy!
I can see you had great fun with this - love the way the Printemps with tentacles - reminds me a bit of 'Squid'??? The water runs in the background add real dimension & a sense of wateriness - though I suspect this is more like an underwater scene on the planet Mars!!
ReplyDeleteplanet mars! exactly! hahaha! I suspect that blobby armed thing will be making an appearance in a new book and it will be called anemone. <3
DeleteThank you Alice for this post. I haven't found a drawing App after my switch to IOS from Android. I'm anxious to play with Procreate.
