We always finish with a long, one-hour, pose at Thursday night’s life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop. I couldn’t be bothered to pack my drawing bag, if I’m honest, so I just took my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet and used the free Markers app. I’m learning more and more about the digital approach as time goes on. I started by laying down a background, overlaying several translucent colours with my finger – white, grey, beige and white again. Then I drew the figure and surroundings with the stylus, keeping my pallete restricted to sepia, olive, sanguine, grey and white with a splash of pink, varying the limited brushes to achieve different lines and pressures. I saved at several stages – never forget to save – I lost a few drawings in the early days – they just disappeared! The act of saving also gives you a little slideshow of the progression of the drawing too.

Inspired by drawings of the taxidermy collection at Swansea Museum. I have given these antique artefacts a modern twist by combining them with images of rubbish – old fruit nets, bubble wrap and plastic – highlighting the problem of human pollution and how it affects wildlife.

Really super – thanks Rosie- so far I have only really tried the iPad and dooddlebuddy, free app, but need to try other apps. Lynn Howarth uses Procreate, this one looks easy and fun.
Thanks Jane 🙂
This is great Rosie, I love the slide show. There are 2 tablets in our house… I’ll have to see if the owners will lend me one to sketch on!
It’s good fun
I was having a nice conversation with Lauran Burgess from Y Lle Print, about your drawings and blogging yesterday!
oooh there’s lovely. I don’t think I’ve met her.
Great to see the progression. I’m impressed you can save those states. Cool!
Thanks, it was easy peasy. Just a jab with the stylus 🙂
Way cool slide show! Blew my analogue mind.
hahaha thanks
