Most were crated using Corel Painter or Adobe Photoshop. I tend to work in a traditional manner painting what I want using a Wacom Cintiq LCD tablet, the combination of a pressure sensitive pen and a large screen makes for the most natural drawing and painting experience. Painters is fantastic at mimicking natural media, paint blend and smudges with the underlying colors, tools react with textures as if drawing on rough paper or canvas.

Each Valentine Day I create a little piece of art and print up some small card I give out to women I meet, waitresses, bar tenders and others. This years had a 60s era look and style.

Buy the card or T-shirt at Zazzle

Zen Brush App had wonderful organic brush strokes.

With the Zen Brush image placed on a layer in ArtStudio and the compositing method set to multiply I was able to paint under the black and white line work to add color and more depth.

Created on the Apple iPad tablet using ArtStudio App. I think this app is the best of the crop of painting apps for the iPad and iPhone.  Even though the iPad does not support pressure sensitivity ArtStudio had a way of varying stroke weight and opacity that give a better hand drawn look.  ArtStudio’s smudge and wet media brush has a cool oil painting effect to it.  Find it in the iTunes Store
