Early iPhone Painting Using 2 Apps, originally uploaded by purple0wl.
The first iphone drawing app I bought was Sketches. Fascinated and frustrated by the doddery marks that were all I could come up with on the touch screen, I forked out in some desperation for iDoodle, Scribble and NetSketch.
Not that these apps exactly broke the bank. Once you’ve bought your iphone, art apps are surprisingly cheap. Photoshop costs around a hundred times as much! Squiggles, iGraffiti and No2 therefore swiftly followed.
There I was then, armed with a dizzying array of brushes, paint buckets, colour charts, magnifying glasses and important-looking icons – unable even to write my name on the glassy screen.
Time, practice and frequent doses of coffee have helped my brain to grow a few new neurones linked to my finger tip.
I’ve also discovered one or two things about iphone and ipod art apps that the makers may not tell you. I was very proud of myself the day I realised you can use more than one art app to get more tools.
For the dragon above, I used Netsketch, which I liked the best because of its wide range of colours.
I then exported my dragon to the iphone photo gallery, and sneaked it into iDoodle.
Lo and behold, in iDoodle I was able to add the lettering, plus oval and circular bubbles with a graded fill.
