Paper Dreams
Sometimes drawing with non-traditional tools can break an artistic dry spell. Here I used an iPad app called Paper and drew this image without photo reference. I exported the final sketch to Photoshop where I worked on it using products from Retrosupply Co.

Advice
Slowly getting back into the groove of drawing. It's like I'm learning to draw all over again. This drawing is part of a stream in my head about friends helping each other. I did a similar drawing last week. Drawing from my sketchbook and then processed on the computer using products from Mr. Retro.
Thin Blood Drawn in my sketchbook with a busted wrist and coloured in Adobe Photoshop using brushes by Kyle T. Webster, then using the Photoshop plug-in, Spot Wash Dirt by Mr. Retro.

Black Cake
This image was inspired by listening to one of my favourite podcasts by The Kitchen Sisters. This particular episode was about Emily Dickinson's poetry and her baking. Digital drawing on the iPad Pro using the Procreate for the pencils and inks. The retro look was done with the wonderful Printed iOS app.
I do the art first then export the photo to Printed. I then let the app do it's thing and bring it back to Procreate. Would love to know what you think.

Drawing with an iPad
Using one of my favourite drawing apps for iPad, Procreate, which feels like drawing on a real sketchbook. Procreate can export your drawing as a process movie. Directly underneath the video, you can see the final "remastered version".
