  1. I've been learning how to draw and besides drawing circles and lines, I was researching how to build environments.

     

    I couldn't think of anything better than drawing Fuji. Fuji(s), actually. 

    This is my 4th attempt, using APhoto + Astropad Studio + iPPxPencil

     

    Loved to create stars via Noise filtered through Threshold, as well as blurring the fog.

    What do you think?

  2. (super)Quick intro:

     

    I've been using a.Photo and a.Designer for about 2 years and I'm in love with the apps.

    I am a web designer who can't draw a thing. I bought iPad Pro, Pencil, and (ordinary) paper, pencil and fine-liners (am I calling it right?)

     

    I've been fascinated by artists all around the world and I am diving into the process of learning and practicing my drawing skills.

     

    I call it.. (wait for it).. The Incredible Drawing Adventure

     

     

    Here's a quick video where I talk about software (with a timestamp for Affinity Photo), and yeah, if you feel like it — let's do it!

    Your approach, for your usage makes a lot of sense, in any case.

    But anyone has own work flows, habits, etc...

     

    You know, this rhetoric is a bit of a double edged sword. 

     

    If we all stayed to the old workflows and habits, we would not have a conversation here — we would still use good old PhotoShop. I mean, it literally (still) is the industry standard with a lot of brushes and plugins, ye? But here we are

     

    :rolleyes:

  4. And iPad Pro doesn't cut it (in the screen and the system) for serious color managing or professional file handling, speaking of a different side of the matter. Let alone the obvious software packages limitation. I would have managed with all that if the key thing, pen accuracy was really a significant step forward, but is just more or less what latest wacom pens can provide, and the size of 12.9 extremely limited for real work... 

     

    Not saying is not a good fit for some people. But even those, IMO, are in love with the portability and the novelty, and would do even better with a PC and a good drawing device.

     

    Uhm, not speaking about the size here, but about file handling and whatnot:

     

    iPad Pro with Pencil + Astropad Studio + Affinity Photo (designer) = magic

     

    I can literally sit on a couch across the room and still draw in Photo with pen pressure, tilt and other stuff with <20ms lag (can't see it with my eye).

    Moreso, I can open zBrush and sculpt with pressure and so on on my iPad. 

     

    And when I am done, I close Astropad and continue to watch cat videos on youtube using my iPP. 

     

    pricing for Cintiq Pro 13 vs iPP 13" + Pencil is virtually the same.

  5. But to be honest, I am not too sure if I want to continue with it. What I want to explore is VR and Motion Design when it comes to UI stuff, and not the 2D static stuff. But shall see really. Gotta start somewhere, right? 

     

    That is correct. I was 'on the roll' with clients for web design, but constant 'lets play with the Fonts a bit, shall we' remarks were taking the toll, I felt I was becoming a zombie. So I went out, bought myself and iPad Pro + pencil and now I make terrible drawings. And I love it.

     

    PS - I also eagerly wait for a.Photo for iPad Pro now  :wub:
