Creativity Journey: FIRST PASS

FIRST PASS

Here is the first sketch with the family members in place in the composition. I am not totally happy with the scale or the individual likenesses but it gives me a fair idea of how this will play out. I am going to see how changing the sharp focus from one face to another will work.

I just bought myself an iPad. I was wondering what drawing app do you use?; December 8, 2011 at 9:57 PM

Myrna Wacknov said...: Hi Vicki, Thanks for the comment. The faces will begin to morph as I move along.; December 9, 2011 at 9:07 AM
Myrna Wacknov said...: Hi Peggy, I too like to see a series of paintings from artists....its like watching their brain working!; December 9, 2011 at 9:08 AM
Myrna Wacknov said...: Hi Davida, Interesting question. I certainly could do sketching of this series with the iPad but at this stage of life, I am used to processing with paper and pencil or pen and it is difficult to switch over entirely. I like to hold a newspaper rather than read news on a device. It seems like there is a connection between my brain and the materials and my thinking and processing. My favorite drawing and painting app is Sketch Club. It seems the most simplified and the spot where you switch out the color or tool is always visible and easy to work with. I look forward to seeing what you do with your iPad in an artistic way!; December 9, 2011 at 9:13 AM
