Alice in the sun
Posted: February 17, 2021 Filed under: Uncategorized 9 CommentsI knew I had to draw this one quickly. The afternoon sun would soon disappear and it was time for Alice to have a walk. I grabbed my iPad, created a new canvas, chose a 6B pencil and drew in black. Then I created a new layer under the first one, and added the greys. Working on one layer for the line and a separate one for the shading is really useful if you need to make corrections — Alice’s paws that twitch in anticipation of a walk, the changing angles of the shadows — but you just have to remember which layer you are working on. The other wonderful thing about the iPad: no scanning or photographing of the image. Alice appreciates that too at walk time.

When working on the iPad, do you use Illustrator or another app?

Thanks for asking Tim. I forgot to mention, I work in Procreate and use the Apple Pencil. Very convenient for quick drawings!

Do you have any demos of procreate on the ipad? I have no idea what it is.

I can feel the warmth from the sun that Alice seems to be enjoying! Hope she enjoyed her walk, too.

Lovely tones and mood.
Harrley was enjoying a sunny spot today too, but I only took a photo.

Yes remembering which layer you on is tough

I’ve never drawn using an iPad, mostly because I don’t have an iPad, but is it easy to master? I’m thinking of getting a used one to try.
