Brushes
Today was a work session for my Tuesday Photoshop class at LCAD, which left me with some downtime. I like to draw while I await requests for help from my students so, in that spirit, I decided today to check-out the Brushes app for the iPad. It’s a neat program. The interface is really simple to use, but I still found it a little awkward at first. As I got the hang of it? I really started to enjoy myself. It’s no replacement for actual paint, but it’s definitely a much more practical option for sketching on the go.
I know that there is at least one or two competitors out there to Brushes and discussions often revolve around which of them has the most/best features. Honestly? I love the simplicity of Brushes. I don’t think I need anything more than this. I just learned that there are shortcuts for changing the brush size and picking colors, which is great. If there was a shortcut for changing opacity? The program would be perfect.
Update: You can watch a time lapse video of the painting process at YouTube.
