iPad painting 7
With this sketch it’s apparent how I have used a photograph as the source. While every stroke is unique and not directly derived from the photograph I had the source image as an underlying layer while painting. This image could have been improved if I had painted some more dark greens at the base of the half barrel. As it is the barrel is not grounded and appears to float on the image plane losing the three dimensional effect, appearing flat and giving away it’s photographic origins.
Not only can you use the iPad to sketch but you can use it to capture your source material too with it’s built in camera or through the camera connection kit. All of this was done far away from any Internet connection or source of AC power. I charged the iPad off of a 12V inverter whenever I needed to.
