You can see the nice grain of the chalk in the close-up images below! I used the chalk tool and oil pastel tool for this. (But the girl is not me!) The colors of the northern lights go perfect with the purple-ish colors in her hair and eyeshadow. I dreamed that I had opened my front door and the northern lights (aurora borealis, aurora) were going full force like what you see in the drawing. Then I remembered this dream I had a few nights ago. I opened this drawing up today to finish it and had a flat gray background and didn’t know what to do with it. It’s better, but I’m still playing around with it! This was also some more practice on working my realistic style with Painter. I just feel better using a reference.Īnyways, I had started this drawing last weekend just for kicks right after I had done the no reference drawing. Two example uses: hook up an old-school MIDI-only keyboard or an iPhone App as a control surface for Garage Band or Logic Pro or whatever.Here’s another Corel Painter painting/drawing! This time I used a reference and it seems like I can spend less time worrying about if it looks okay or not. iConnectMIDI has MIDI in/out (including via USB, with one input port and two outputs) and under 10ms latency, making it easy to work iPads, iPod touches and iPhones into ae home music-making setup. The latest version is the first to be designed with touch-screen computers in mind, allowing artists to simulate natural media with real brushes.įorget the blur of iPad clones and 3D televsions this nondescript black box is the thing I'm most likely to buy so far at CES 2011.
