![]() One of my favourite apps is still “Art Set – Pro Edition” for it’s beautifully designed user panel, and naturalistic art media. I still don’t use some of their media, or the layer systems – I continue to build up my art on the one surface, as I do on paper or canvas. ![]() However, with a bit more trial and error, I’ve found them quite easy and enjoyable to work in. I think these apps are geared towards people with graphic design skills. I’ve experimented with lots of free art apps (most were horrible to use!) also with popular ones that I’ve purchased: Artrage, Procreate, Sketchbook pro… At first, I found their user panels a bit complex (at least for me), and didn’t like the layer systems, which don’t suit the more traditional way I work. Mostly, I just dip my finger into the art app media, and off I go! Wonderful! My art training is in the traditional fine arts, so I was thrilled to discover, that very little technical “know how” was needed to draw and paint on an iPad. I’ve heard of photoshop, but know little about it. I rarely use a computer (built this website on my iPad). I’ve discovered there are amazing art apps, with natural looking art media, which allow me to draw and paint, much as I do on paper or canvas! However, I was intrigued enough to investigate further. Mainly as the art apps I first tried, had a very basic range of markmaking properties, and didn’t really inspire me. I wasn’t really planning to do much iPad art. My books are usually one of my poems, broken into pages, which I then illustrate. Which in previous years I have made before – color copying my line and watercolour paintings, then stapling and binding them together. My initial idea when I got my first iPad, an iPad mini ( I now use a 10.5 iPad Pro) was to: type up some of my poems, use an art app to do some simple line drawings, perhaps add a dash of colour, print them out – then make some handmade books. These are a little bedraggled, but the only ones I have left. This is a selection of some of my handmade books.
