Batman 75th Anniversary

Batman's 75 Anniversary is this year. I made a quick sketch of the Dark Knight. Who hasn't read Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns? It's a great read for anyone. Check it out on the right.

A couple of sketches

Really enjoy this Mischief paint program. Would be nice to have a vector paint on a mobile device like my tablet to remove the limitations of a canvas size. For now, here are a couple sketches, one from Mischief and one from tablet. Still love Sketchbook Ink / Pro. They keep me productive on the go.

Blackwings digital painting

Trying out a different paint program today called Mischief. It was on sale for the weekend. It's pretty basic, with 4 different brushes, some papers and layers. The different thing about it is it's vector based, so you can export to any size. I like that. There are no layer blend options, only transparency. It's a great program especially if you have great digital painting skills and can get on without a lot of aids. The interface is simple, and hot keys are easy.

After a quick run on it, I think I will be using it quite a bit. Like most vector programs, the user might detect the brush stroke has the slightest lag when you apply quick circular strokes with large brushes.

Sketch and color

Quick sketch from the tablet with some quick colors.

What's happened recently...

Godzilla, painting the Big G

Saw Godzilla today, awesome movie!

My current ranking for the four films I've seen so far:
1. Captain America, Winter Soldier
2. Edge of Tomorrow
3. Godzilla
4. X-Men Days of Future Past

Flow like water painting and sketching with patterns

This piece came together from several apps on my tablet while drinking the morning's coffee. I believe I have mentioned before in previous posts that I use a suite of Autodesk apps on my tablet, as well as a couple of other programs like Sketcher and Deco Paint.

There is no lack of pituitary gland in this sketch

I'm looking forward to any news of a new Nexus 10 tablet launch. I have been using a Nexus 7 for the past 2 years and I have found it quite excellent for sketching on the go. I do have room in my small day pack for a ten inch tablet. If they do launch a new 10 inch Nexus, then I will snatch one up. All around the Nexus 7 has been awesome, but I think it is time to use a larger screen for my art. Quick sketch with fast colors added. Created on my tablet as usual.

Sketching dump of this Wednesday.

Some sketches from this morning while having coffee. This time it's the Brazil brew. I like the Zambia brew a bit better, though both are really awesome compared to my regular blonde roast.
