Take your #art pen for a walk...

If you recall, the week before last I wrote about the free creative course being run by Kate England at MarmaladeMoon.com
One of the tasks was to write a word and hide it with doodles that ran to the edge of the page (I'm simplifying here, you need to sign up for more info ;)
I can't always hold a pen so though I managed to begin a doodle I wasn't able to finish filling it in...so I did another one with my finger on my iPad using Art Rage. I filled it in with Meritum Paint.

It reminded me of an art activity that I used to do with children - taking your pencil for a walk across the paper, the pencil never leaves the surface and you must keep it moving. Then you fill in the spaces in between with patterns. Some of the results were amazing and it tells you a lot about the person doing the drawing...and there are a variety of adaptations possible.

Anyway - layering was the next step. Photographing the doodle and adding to it, looking at it in different ways... I've kind of gone my own route here because I'm struggling with the heat and energy is almost non-existant.

Coincidentally I'd doodled, photographed and apped sketches earlier last month...so the images with this post are -
The ink pen doodle after apping,
The digital doodle after apping,
And some of the stages along the way including two of my earlier photographed doodles.

Doodle - red and gold

Another metallic doodle - and then I played with it in Photo Studio and I actually had the presence of mind to save as a preset any group of effects that I liked this time. Yay me ;)
Then of course the water my photo obsession kicked in and...
It's a free app and I like what it does, but the file size is tiny. I'd pay for it if it would address that.
And then lastly for no apparent reason I can come up with, here's a screen shot of my phone with one of my pink wallpapers...I like pink. Never used to. Odd that.

It's a tad disorientating going from a photo of a home screen shot to the home screen...most odd. Try it...

Free iPad wallpaper

P1040

Here's some wallpaper for your iPad - any future freebies will go out via my mailing list, so sign up using the link on the right if you're interested, thanks.

Right click to save, or press and hold if you're viewing this on your iPad, then go to photo album and click the arrow button in the middle of the top left of the screen and choose 'Use as wallpaper'. The home screen is what you see all of your apps on, the lock screen is what you see when you turn the screen on. (Depending on your settings of course ;)
