Digital Finger Paintings

Recently I've taken to making these sketches on my phone when I need to unwind on an evening.

At first, I couldn't find my stylus, so I aptly called them "Digital Finger Paintings" since I was stuck with my stubby ole fingers to do the drawing. I guess that would technically make them drawings and not paintings but c'est la vie!

As it turns out, I went digging through some drawers the other day and found my old Cosmonaut Stylus. I did my small part to fund these guys back in their Kickstarter days and I've drawn a few projects with it on my iPad a while back.

Hip Hip Hooray !

However...

As it turns out - I'm better at drawing on my phone with my finger than with the stylus. I actually found a second, cheapo stylus as well and both that and the Cosmonaut just weren't as easy to use as my finger on such a small screen.

So until I get a new iPad and can draw with a stylus on a larger canvas - It'll be me and my phone back to kindergarten basics.

The fun thing about digital finger painting through this app is that everything is vector.

And when it's all vector you can then more fun things like opening it up in Illustrator and copying and moving elements around to your heart's content!

Did you know?

Research shows that drinking 4 or more cups of coffee a day is associated with a 20% reduction in depression risk in women.

Time for cup number two.

Bottoms up.
What number cup are you on?
