As I’ve been getting back into drawing I’ve been using the app Paper by 53 which by now most people know about. However, as I’ve started looking at light and shade I’ve been getting a bit sick of the limitations in Paper so i decided to have a go at using Procreate to do some lighting studies and BOY IS IT AN AWESOME APP! Layers, rotating, ZOOMING! blending options, customizable brushes, it’s got just about everything I was after which Paper is currently lacking. That is not to say Paper is a bad app, it’s just intentionally very limited by the lack of any zoom option, no colour dropper tool or ability to change brush sizes…..all things that come in handy when you’re not a drawing wizz that can create masterpieces on a single layer.
The style and design consideration throughout this piece is phenomenal!
I can see this as the next Mirror’s Edge if EA ever gets around to it.
Looks like this is a pitch for a potential t.v. series. I’D LOVE TO SEE THIS!!!

Wow! This is stunning! The latest from Aardman Animation for the The Staves single Winter Trees.
…and not becoming discouraged because some younger, seemingly more genius artist/physicist/poet etc is better than you are at the moment.
I use this site often, it’s a great resource for practice.
Casual reminder that pixelovely exists as a tool for gesture drawing, for those of you who need/want to brush up on technique or just want to draw some very good models!
There are male and female models of various ages and races.

Across Africa a war against the continent’s largest animal has reduced the elephant population to dire levels and led to warnings that if poaching continues at its current rate, African elephants could be wiped out within the next 10 to 15 years.
