Testing new tech
I’ve heard wild and wonderful things about drawing comics on the new iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil (and an app called ProCreate–yikes). Maybe someday some new tech can join the art-supplies arsenal.
This test drawing is of a mishmash because I used about six different digital brushes/pens/pencils all on top of one another.
I can see doing pencils and inking for the comic digitally, but I’ll always be devoted to working with my actual ancient palette and its assorted exciting poisonous pigments.
In other news, any of you who supported the Kickstarter should have gotten both a backer survey and a download link by now; please let me know if you haven’t received both.
ooh, nice!! I’m learning my tablet, but nowhere near this good 😀
Thanks! I managed to get up to “not so bad” using a tablet before (iPad 1), so I’ve had some practice 🙂 The art for the SPQR Blues printed book cover was done on a Cintiq, and I really like how that turned out. I sank a lot of money into the Cintiq and it died VERY SOON after I’d gotten it, so I’m extremely wary about investing in a new expensive tablet. But I think the iPad Pro and in particular the Apple Pencil help with the general tablet learning curve.
