Drawing on an ipad. wow

2010-05-13T10:43:00.001-07:00

I saw this a while back. This was drawn on an ipad by Goro Fujita.
He is a 3D character animator and visual designer and used the ipad Alias Sketchbook version to draw this incredible painting.
Wow, if you can do this on an ipad what's the point of having cintiqs.
Goro Fujita has more samples of his ipad drawings on his blog, Chapter-56.

New Books!!!

2010-05-11T19:58:00.001-07:00

Joe Sorren and Nicolas Marlet's books have arrived!!!!
Sorren's book is a collection of his paintings in the last 10 years and Marlet's sketchbook is full of his character designs (Marlet is the character designer for Kung Fu Panda and, How to train your dragon).
Both books are great!!!
Marlet's sketchbook is a limited edition so I'm glad I got a copy before its sold out.

Dr. Sketchy Anti-Art School

2010-04-25T10:49:00.001-07:00

I haven't drawn people in a while so I went to the lower east side to check out Dr. Sketchy AntiArt School to do some figure drawing.
WOW awesome experience!!!
Cool model in full make up and costume with horns, wigs and red contact lenses.
The place is actually a bar so they had music, drinks and couple of drawing contests with prizes!!!
They also had a guest artist, Travis Louie, showing his drawings and selling books.
The session lasted for 3 hours but it went really fast. It costs $15 but it's $10 if you buy a ticket online.
Don't know when the next session will be but definitely going back for more!!!!

Viking Spirit

I was working on this acrylic painting for a while and I just finished it.
I wanted some kind of ghost and came up with this but it took a really long time to paint it. weeks went by without touching it and now that it's done I don't feel so good about it.
oh well... guess i'll start a new one, start and finish quick!!

I started painting with acrylics a few months ago and I tried to paint this ninja cloud character on canvas. I'm learning as I go so I decided to take pics of my progress for one of my paintings. There are lots of mistakes if you look closely but I think it turned out ok. (I hope the japanese characters make sense, it's meant to say "cloud ninja")
