Drawing on ipad with Sketch Club application


How to draw portrait on ipad.  Drawing on ipad with Sketch Club application made by the awesome Jim Scott.  And who would think ipad application would capable of doing such decent painting and sketch.  Two thumbs up for Jim Scott, the creator of the application called Sketch Club.  This post will be a how to draw and paint demo tutorial on using ipad as a drawing pad.  A friend of mine or former colleague at ArenaNet Jim Scott, one of the lead programmer on GW and GW2, creates this painting application for ipad called "Sketch Club".  It is a very cool and beyond basic sketch.  I try it out and was pretty happy how the app works so far.  I feel like I can do so much with it within the first and second trial. I just begin experiment with the app by doing a speed painting piece demo.  It turns out better than I expect from an app from ipad.  I can actually draw and paint like a real painting application on normal PC.  Well, even if it is limited compare to Photoshop but it has what it takes to get the job done beautifully.
Anyway, if you are interested in downloading the application for your ipad go to  http://app.sketchclub.com/ and if you want to interact with the creator directly, visit his blog http://blackpawn.com/blog/?p=335.  Give him feedback and anything.  Jim is an awesome dude and one of the best programmer I've worked with.

So here is my tutorial demo using Sketch Club application on ipad.  This one took me about 30 minutes and it turns out well.  I didn't know what to sketch on so I just sketch what I do best, a female warrior.  :-)  Yeah, it's best to test out something with what you already know how to do it well.

Hi Xia !
It is therefore imperative not to lay hands on the screen ?

Nice work Xia, so good to see something totally different from the usual videos :)

Too bad that everything here in Malta is WAAAAY too expensive, even the iphones are still more expensive than the U.S., even more the Ipad. Such a great tool.
you can take it to the museums with u and do some life-sketching over there. :)

hope to see more posts like this, thanks!

@chalian Ha ha, you caught that huh. Yeah, if two spots are touched then it automatically moving or zoon in/out canvas. ;-)

@Luca There is no need to get ipad Luca, lol but yeah, it would be handy for painting outside. Though I don't think the screen are capable yet to deal with direct sunlight IMO.

@Knuckle Kudo to Jimmy!!!

@Danilo Like I mentioned, you don't really need one. Sketchbook should be sufficient enough. Unless you have some extra changes in your pocket, it could be fun. ;-)
