Learn to paint on ipad with Sketch Club application

Learn to paint on ipad with Sketch Club application. This is a second tutorial of how to draw and paint on ipad tablet, it is a bit more intermediate.  You can watch the first ipad painting video tutorial and review over at Drawing on ipad with Sketch Club.  The application, Sketch Club created by Jim Scott, is capable of doing a really decent speed painting.  I like it a lot for many reason.  It is cheap and for the price it is one of the best painting application around the apple app store.

This post will be a how to draw and paint a knight armor concept design.  As I do with any of my digital painting tutorials, I start off with a rough line drawing to get the idea of the pose and overall composition.  Then I usually paint over the figure with just one medium gray tone to create the silhouette.  When I have the silhouette, it is easier for me to visualize the figure in more detail and find the way to figure out the light source.

After that I will go in with big brush to paint the light source and assign value to the character or figure.  The key is to make it simple first, do not over complicate things or worry about tiny detail in the beginning.

Once I have basic shape with the light source or assign value, it is easier for me to begin apply color onto the figure.  Since this version of the app does not yet have "Overlay" function, we will have to paint in the color.  If you know how to get the value accurately, then it should not be hard for you to paint without overlay.  The trick is that you will just have to put color in the light area, and leave the shadow be dark.  Because you cannot see color in the shadow therefore there should not be any color in the shadow area, it will mostly be gray or desaturated color of warm or cool.

Drawing on ipad with Sketch Club application

Drawing on ipad with Sketch Club application made by the awesome Jim Scott.  And who would think ipad application would capable of doing such decent painting and sketch.  Two thumbs up for Jim Scott, the creator of the application called Sketch Club.  This post will be a how to draw and paint demo tutorial on using ipad as a drawing pad.  A friend of mine or former colleague at ArenaNet Jim Scott, one of the lead programmer on GW and GW2, creates this painting application for ipad called "Sketch Club".  It is a very cool and beyond basic sketch.  I try it out and was pretty happy how the app works so far.  I feel like I can do so much with it within the first and second trial. I just begin experiment with the app by doing a speed painting piece demo.  It turns out better than I expect from an app from ipad.  I can actually draw and paint like a real painting application on normal PC.  Well, even if it is limited compare to Photoshop but it has what it takes to get the job done beautifully.

Anyway, if you are interested in downloading the application for your ipad go to  http://app.sketchclub.com/ and if you want to interact with the creator directly, visit his blog http://blackpawn.com/blog/?p=335.  Give him feedback and anything.  Jim is an awesome dude and one of the best programmer I've worked with.

So here is my tutorial demo using Sketch Club application on ipad.  This one took me about 30 minutes and it turns out well.  I didn't know what to sketch on so I just sketch what I do best, a female warrior.  :-)  Yeah, it's best to test out something with what you already know how to do it well.
