Both were done on an iPad with Autodesk SketchBook.
Here's a fun little comparison of my progress with digital painting. I started experimenting with digital art on the iPad (making the transition from traditional drawing/painting) in December of 2015. Being a huge Star Wars fan (like most people on planet Earth), my first ever piece was a portrait of Darth Vader. With another installment to the Star Wars saga released just yesterday, I decided to do another Darth Vader portrait as a fun benchmark of my progress. Here is the result below. I obviously still have a long way to go, but it's encouraging to see a little improvement.

What I Use:
For digital art projects, I’m currently using a first gen iPad Pro 12-inch and an Apple Pencil. I love the larger screen size for drawing/painting, and the Pencil is one of the best input tools I’ve ever used. I just wish they had designed it so you can flip it around to the other side and automatically activate the eraser tool in your app like some others do. Although I have used several, my app of choice is Autodesk Sketchbook. You get a mobile and desktop version for the same cost (I use it on my Mac at work too with a Wacom tablet). It also has a free version you can play around with to see if it’s a fit for you. Procreate is also an amazing app as well for the iPad Pro, but Sketchbook is my go-to app because I’m most comfortable with it (and because I can use it cross-platform). https://www.sketchbook.com/?locale=en |
