Drawn on My Cellphone

A while back I decided I wanted to draw stuff... I took a course... I practiced... but I was never satisfied with my drawings... cuz I want them to be proportionally correct...

Then I came up with this idea... I would bring one of my photos into Photoshop and use the line drawing tool to trace the basic outlines in the image, using the photo as an underlying layer, so as to establish a basic structure for the image. Then I printed those lines very faintly on paper, and then proceeded to sketch with pencil on paper using the faint lines as a guide. Here is an example of a drawing I did using this technique...

Recently I got a new cellphone, a Samsung Note 8. I discovered that Adobe makes a free phone app called Sketch that lets you draw on the phone using the s-pen stylus. It turns out this app also lets you put a photo on an underlying layer to use as a guide. The following are several drawings I made using 512 this techinque...

Wow, what a great idea and these are great. I have to say the variety of topics that you have drawn are both interesting and well executed. 

How do you enjoy drawing? Have you tried this with painting?

Hi Perrie,

Thanks!!!

I haven't done any painting per se (with a real paint brush)... The colored clown face is an effort to "paint" using a digital brush... But... I think that is great idea for a variation on this theme... I may give it a try.

It is so good to see you... :o)

I'm just getting back on my feet so to speak... I've had four major surgeries (last was a total knee replacement) and a few minor ones in the last three years, and I am sick of being sick!!! :o\

As a painter, I think you will enjoy painting. 

And good to see you too! 

I am sorry to hear about your various health issues. I don't blame you of feeling sick of being sick. I hope things are on the upturn now.
