Is today iPad 2 day?

Posted on March 2, 2011 by Guthlac

Who knows but it probably is. We’ll have to see what comes out from Apple over the day – perhaps Steven Fry might be able to answer this.

Jonathan Miller

One of the joys I get at the moment is to make simple pen and ink sketches of face I see on TV. I usually record several things on the sky plus during the day and watch then at a latter time. When I see an interesting face I will freeze the frame and then sketch it. Jonathan Miller is the latest.

This was supposed to be an article on iPhoneography.  However it seems that Wired has embedded their video which, as it happens isn’t a problem.  However, if you want to see the Wired article on iPhonegraphy then click on the wired.com link above

Ink pad – now this could be fun!

Posted on March 1, 2011 by Guthlac

Just bought the app Inkpad and already it looks like it is going to be great fun. It’s a vector map app from the creator of Brushes, another must have app for the iPad. I hope it proves to be the great hit I think it will.

Nicole Kidman

Posted on March 1, 2011 by Guthlac

Strange how things work out. Yesterday I was planning to spend the week working on new drawings of the model in the portrait course. Then the obvious struck me – she may see the results and they might not be very flattering as I was basing them one three quick sketches – I wouldn’t be happy with that. Anyway, I’m sure I’ll be making more drawings of the model over the next few weeks so by the end I’m sure I’ll be sick and tired working with her features, beautiful as they no doubtfully are.

So what top do? Well I was wondering through the images of my contacts on Flickr and I found one of a drawing of Nicole Kidman. Suddenly I was inspired to work on her for a while. This is the first result of this flash of inspiration. I like it and just hope it leads to some eve more interesting drawings over the next few days.

Hour and half in and about half way through the upgrade!

Posted on February 28, 2011 by Guthlac

Slowly slowly so it goes. It looks like I am half way through the process – although you never can tell – these can take forever or does it just seem that way?

The results of the first week of portrait course

Posted on February 28, 2011 by Guthlac

Whilst waiting for the windows upgrade to complete I thought I would work on my work from the portrait course I attend this morning. This is a iPhone capture reworked and developed in Brushes on the iPad. The original drawing was made in pen and ink on paper. The original was a reasonable likeness of the model and so this might be but my memory is not what it sued to be so I can’t actually confirm this. Anyway, that is beside the point I think that the result is a very interesting drawing/digital image.

As for the course it is really too early to say but the first impressions are very positive. Diane the tutor is very enthusiastic and puts everyone at ease. I hope this continues and this proves to be a very worthwhile course.

The upgrade starts

Posted on February 28, 2011 by Guthlac

Well I have started the process and things are already getting complicated – ran the compatibility check and I have a couple of issues – one being iTunes which I think I have corrected. Just restarting machine as requested and seeing what happens then. Oh if life were so straightforward!
