iPad for Artists

Do you have an iPad? Do you like digitally drawing or painting?
I think you will like a book that arrived here last week.

A while back, Dani Jones (a really nice illustrator from New England, who also seems to have quite an internet fame) called out for iPad art on her twitter account, so I sent her something and it ended up being used in this nice book called iPad for Artists that she wrote. I was so excited when I saw it in the mailbox, you can imagine.

This piece was made in the app Procreate, my fav. painting/drawing app on the iPad. I used my Boxwave stylus for it, but I don't think that is of a lot of importance.

You can read more about the book here, on Dani Jones' website , she also posted a sneak peek of it on her blog. Awesome!

Book (for IF)

I had fun sketching this on my iPad tonight, it's for Illustration Friday with the theme 'book', which is very nice because in the Netherlands the national children's books week begins tomorrow.
The boy looks like a younger version of my boyfriend.

On a side note: I'm actually pretty happy at the moment, not only because of this sketch (I planned on sketching more), but because my boyfriend and me got engaged last friday. I feel so blessed and fortunate!

Happy Halloween :)
I'm quite satisfied with the result, although the background could be a lot more interesting and her left leg is kinda red because of the texture..
