Mountain Railway Painting

railwaySM

It was an exciting morning. I discovered that the good folks over at ArtRage added script recording to their iPad app. After the download and a quick cup of coffee I started doodling this little mountain railway scene.

I was really geeking out over this new addition because a few weeks back I had requested this very feature and now it was a reality. Major props to the ArtRage dev team on this one. I’m sure the idea was in the pipes long before I had ever thought of it. Super fantastic, I can’t wait to see what else you have up your sleeves.

After exporting my thumbnail script I up-ressed the painting on the desktop app and went to town. This whole process worked exactly as I had imagined. With the newly expanded canvas on my mac I was able to really flush the painting out, smudge it up and add in a lot of detail that would have taken forever on the iPad.

I really like this new workflow. Its simple, straight forward and functional. I can see myself using this a lot in the future.

Yellow Sketchbook #7

I believe this is my seventh, solid cover-to-cover finished book. Of those I have shelved it has taken the longest to complete as I have been distracted by a lot of digital drawing (Darn you Wacom!). This work spans the last two years and has a lot of road trips and projects scattered though out its pages. There are some sizable time gaps in it which I am not so happy about but as a viewer it probably makes for interesting browsing as the artwork stays fresh and changes often.

It is also notable that this is the first book where someone else’s drawings have shared the page with mine. Try as I might it has been impossible to keep my toddler son Silas away from this book. His handy work is present towards the end pages.
