Digital Drawing
In preparation for getting an ipad (deciding if i would really use it to draw) i wanted to explore what it's like to draw digitally in a life and portrait class so i took my laptop with a graphics tablet to class. I liked it. It was freeing. Not great drawings as i was getting use to the brush controls and since most of the sittings were between 30secs and 5 mins i didn't get chance to finish anything but i like fast drawing so that didn't matter. I had seen Hockney's iphone and ipad drawings and had seen someone in a class using their iphone and ipad to draw and it looked great.

Wow, I am impressed. I'm not sure I get the idea of drawing like this though, as surely you will only ever get print outs. Is the idea cost related ie no paper etc to buy?
ReplyDeleteit's an interesting question. ever since hockney started drawing and painting on the iphone a few years ago then last year the ipad, he has had an exhibtion of ipads on the wall one for each work. The question he's raised also, because he often sends friends little drawing of flowers etc every morning over breakfast - which is the original, what is the ownership, what is the piece of work, how much is it worth, is it a work if it's not printed out. digital art or animation is still considered art and has been done on computer for years. you can print out onto good quality paper - ie there is watercolour paper for printers. is it original art or is it a form of limited edition print -no cause how would you limit it. and when you see animations etc in art galleries on monitors in walls like tracey emins woman masturbating - when u buy it what do you buy - i don't know. anyway it's early days.
