Quick Paintings using iphone's Brushes App

The latest fun I've been having is playing around with the Brushes App for the iphone. It is a simple app with basic tools that took the fear out of digital painting for me. A nice break from vector art.

This kitty is one of the first pieces I was finally happy with after playing around with the app for a bit. I'm too embarrassed to show anything before this one!Too bad his little kitty back leg was cropped though!

Then I sort of got the hang of it and did this piece:

Highly recommended app for those who wants to learn digital painting without the pressure. Plus, if its good enough for the New Yorker cover, its good enough for me!

**In moving news**-I'm officially in Ann Arbor, MI! I'm currently without any furniture at the moment; just exploring the town, and getting settled. I can't wait to decorate my new studio space!

More soon and thanks for stopping by!

WOW! I am really loving this. Welcome to your new home! Seems like such a huge contrast from your life in NYC. But then again... this new artwork off your iphone is a pretty huge contrast from your illustrator work and LoO0O0Ook! Not a whole lotta different at all! See what I mean? Your new life in this new state just might not be so different afterall. I am wishing you a wonderful new adventure!

If you like Brushes, you would really love painting in Photoshop. I'm really liking the textures and strokes on these. Your style still shines through as well. Congrats on your move.

I would like to know more cause I might have to give up my black berry for an iphone. Simply amazing!!! Well at least you are all moved YAYYYYYY!!! That's great. The drawing are so darn cute I can't stop thinking about them hee hee. I hope that you and hubby will be settled very soon.
