Batman Returns

Batman Returns Catwoman, Drawn with Paper by 53 on iPad

I was watching Batman Returns and was messing with Paper. There are some new tools on here and I was just experimenting to see what I can do. I really like the water color effect this software can do and will try to play around with the other tools to see what I can come up with.

I've been messing with Paper for a while, finally decided to buy the drawing kit. If you don't know what Paper is, its an app available for the Apple iPad that lets you sketch out ideas using a pencil, ink, or water colors. Colors are a bit limited at the moment, but I'm sure that will change.

If you prefer using a stylus than your finger, I suggest looking up anything from the Bamboo line. Just make sure it is compatible with your drawing device.

This was sketched out first with the pencil tool and then colored with water color. One thing to note about this app is that it treats it as you're using a digital book. There are no layers or anything too fancy on this stylish app that you might find in something like Sketchbook Pro. The fine folks behind the concept of the Microsoft Courier idea left Microsoft, and created this application. So far so good! I really like it. The application itself is free, while the tools are not. Give it a try!

Drawing Styles Clash

I'm still trying to figure out on what kind of art style to use. Sometimes I would prefer to use something a bit more comic book or cartoonish, and sometimes I prefer something realistic. At the moment I'm stuck in the LOZ Wind Waker style and I think I could go for something similar.  These two sketches were drawn with an Apple iPad using Sketchbook Pro. Nothing too great at the moment as I'm not used to coloring on a digital surface quite yet...consider this a work in progress!

Peeta, who I swore was a son of a baker last time I read the book.
