I've been working on this little iPad sketch on and off for the past few weeks. Whenever I'm in a meeting or a doctor's appointment I relax while sketching - amazing at how the time passes when your working on something you like. I've always wanted to own a cabin on a lake - perhaps it will happen for me some day.
I wasn't happy with the mountain I drew in the background so I replaced it in photoshop with a photo.
I emailed my sketch to my desktop and added color in Photoshop. I love the work I get to do for clients as well as the little bits of time I'm able to grab for personal work.
Wonderful! What's the resolution of the image on Ipad?
ReplyDeleteThanks Claudio - it's 1024-768 - not very big - that's why I like to enlarge it in photoshop and give it color.
DeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I just recently found your blog and love your work. I live in Colorado and this cabin scene reminds me of places I've been :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie! Me too - I've stayed in plenty of cabins in the rockies...I think I'm drawn to the simple life.
DeleteVery nice, reminds me of Thomas Kinkade?
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul - he was a great craftsman for sure!
DeleteI love your work, Will! The soft light adds a peaceful calm...is it sunrise or sunset?
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana - I was thinking evening when I worked the colors - I channeled some of the back packing trips I've been on in the High Uintas.
DeleteIt's wonderful!The colors are amazing:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially love how you've used the light in this one.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Can't believe this is done on an iPad, I have a hard time drawing on it.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful Will.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine living here and waking up to that breath-taking view? Your work is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteIs the learning curve large on the IPad? I have been going back and forth on my decision to get one. I can't afford something like a Cintiq yet, but I was thinking this could be a decent substitute until I could... What do you think?
Kate
Sorry about my previous questions it would seem if I checked in more often on your blog I would have the answer:)Thanks for sharing! You have adapted mighty well to digital rendering! Okay enough from me, before I start looking like a creepy stalker girl that just popped in from know where dropping all these questions on you!
ReplyDeleteI included shade in Photoshop. I love the perform I get to do for customers as well as the little pieces of time I'm able to pick up for personal perform.
