Playing with Digital Paint

Greetings.  As you may know, I have been spending a lot of time doing care giving for my Mom.  I decided that I needed a very portable art medium that I can carry almost anywhere.  I had heard about the Apple pencil to use on the iPad. Since I have an relatively new iPad that goes with me to Mom's when I am staying there, I decided that could be my answer.  Then I heard someone on a video mention the program Procreate.  It is an app for the iPad that comes with LOTS of tools and features.  I have only scratched the surface of what is possible with it.  

By the way, I didn't buy the expensive Apple pencil, I found an aftermarket brand on Amazon that was on sell for $7.49 at the time.  It seems to work very well for me. The Procreate program was only $12.99 which I think is a great bargain.  

So here is my first creation that I started when I knew almost nothing about the program. 

It isn't a masterpiece, but I do like the effects I was able to get with the program and the pencil. 

Then I decided to try using a photo reference as a starting point for a face. 

(Happy Friday Face Off to you!) 

If she looks familiar,  it is because I based her on one of my quilt faces.

However I did change her hair a bit as you can see from the quilt face shown below:

I am linking up with Nicole for the Friday Face Off. 

Until Next Time,  

Stay Creative
