Wizard for Jake

Hello.  It has been a long time since my last post and for that I apologize.  I just graduated from Huntington University in mid May and then my husband and I had to pack up the apartment and move back home while we look for jobs.  Now that I'm back at home I no longer have access to the Cintiqs and scanners at HU so I haven't been doing a good job of updating this site.  However Jake's parents did give him an iPad for graduation and so I have begun sketching again on that.

It's a lot different trying to sketch on the iPad.  We got this awesome app called Sketch Club and it is pretty great.  It is hard to get used to the stylus which has a really wide, soft rubber tip and so isn't very accurate.  The trickiest part though is remembering not to let my hand touch the screen when I'm drawing since whenever there are two points of contact the image starts rotating and moving.  However with a little practice I think it will work really well.

So the above is my first real drawing with the Sketch Club app.  I asked my husband what I should draw and he asked for a wizard that looked like the main character in the anime Black Blood Brothers.  Color palate was also Jake's choice.
