I enjoy using the new Art Supplies. Any one Studio picture can flip between IPad's ArtStudio, Computer's PhotoShop, Paper with Markers and Colorsticks, The Lightbox..... And I still use Pencils with Erasers. Different Supplies are best for handling different aspects of the Artwork.

For instance, I prefer using PhotoShop for Warping Text, but I prefer using IPad for Coloring. So I have to send a picture back and forth. I discovered that it's easy to Export the picture directly from the IPad ~ there's a dropdown menu for 'Export by email'. But I have to save the picture to my Desktop and then pick it up from the Desktop if I want to email it from PhotoShop. Extra fussy-steps.

So I wrote a note to myself about that. And I chose to keep the note because I want to remember how easily I made the Camophlage-style background when I wrote that note.

The Artist has new toys.

Guess who's watching Lost again ~ Not serious drawing, just doodling on my down-time. Because I feel right when I have a pen moving. I guess it's like the way some people feel insecure if they don't have a cigarette.

and I notice something different with my down-time these days. Because I only seem interested in Coloring if it's on the IPad. I do like that IPad. Look at that jitter that I found in my Pencil Settings. I am still drawing a lot on Paper, but I even change some lines when I get it into that IPad for Color. That's quite a thing. Like something that Artists have been always waiting for.

Oh Yes ~ Now I'm really into this. Happy to be using my IPad for Studio work. I spend so much time patiently going into All the Pixels. I actually like doing this. I hope to get lots more IPad Commissions.

In this case, I followed my clients instructions of course. He likes a lot of Words in his pictures. Good thing that I just like using the IPad.

Client was very pleased ~ His presentation went over well.
But I have to get it faster if I ever want to use my IPad at Parties and Events.

UPDATE 2017: Egads ~ When I remember how crude it felt to use those old styluses on the IPads, I feel thrilled about our New Technology. These days I've switched to the White Pencil and the ProCreate App, and I would never consider working with the Supplies that I had when I made these CARICATURES.

I did it. ALL on the IPad. Success!

It wouldn't have been my choice to use this long horizontal format, but it's what my client requested. I didn't mind. As long as I had a chance to make it all happen on the IPad, I was Focused!

She wanted the invitation to fit the horizontal 4" x 8", emphasizing the man's white tuft of hair coming out of his left side, including the 40.5, and in the style of a black/white picture that she sent me. And Very specific instructions as to Color and Design. So the design of this picture isn't mine. I just did the Caricature-Silhouette and, yes this is the best part, I did all the IPad manipulations. This was my perfect for my first official IPad job. Because I could focus on the IPad. I was pleased that I was able to follow all her directions as well as draw the Caricature on the IPad.

Of course, I had to cover over my client's personal information before showing you the Artwork. to protect their privacy:

and I already have another digital Caricature job to handle in the Studio. Much more complicated, though. So I probably won't do it All on the IPad. Still, I feel empowered. I am looking forward to using the IPad whenever it would be appropriate.
