Creative sketching on the ipad

The first idea I had was to take directly my process of sketching with pen into the iPad. I thought how different could using a stylus on a touch screen be from pen on paper. I mis represented in my mind how dependent that idea was on the application used for sketching. I am mostly over that idea, it has become realized that sketching Digital is different, it is different in medium in the same way as oil paintings Are different than pencils. When one try's to make one medium look like another there becomes difficulties and differences.

I have come to two major ideas and uses for sketching with the iPad, these are much the same as how I utillized a sketchbook. The first is simple idea sketchings items that come into my mind through out the day. The second is a more visual idea of what I see around me and interpret into more impressionistic or sculpture renderings of how I interpret the the feeling of what is seen.







It seams that tablet and slates are here, we as designers and thinkers now need to rethink how we design and process to maximize both out abilities and the technologies that exist today. With this we need to be in the forefront so that we make sure that the quality and effectiveness of our daily work is not compromised but rather fortified.

The basics

It has been some time, and I have started to become fluid with the workings of the iPad it intricacies and nuances. So time to get into the sharing of what I have learned.One some people just don't get technology and those people some day will get on board, even if it is slowly. Others feel it is great, but don't use it out of what appears to be fear and the unknowing. Finally there are those who jump in feet first, some times great things happen and some times we go back to square one.Two, I have come to use mostly one set of apps for every day functions, I wanted to share those below, the big three, probable because I have come to think of it as a digital sketchbook more so than a computer, are brushes, sketchbook pro and notes plus. These combined with email and Internet could get me through a week probable with out ever touching a full computer.
