While on holiday in France, I’ve tried to keep a digital sketchbook similarly to how I would keep a traditional one.
It’s been really fun experimenting with the iPad to create textures like I’d want to have on paper, and I like that I have the freedom to import any traditional art as well.
One of the main things I’m trying to focus on is drawing buildings and scenery digitally, e.g. the library from Tourrettes. I really feel like my eye is improving with this sort of practice as well!
Adding textures to flat colour has been an exciting learning curve- I was surprised to find that my long-time favourite colouring brush for flat colours, Blackburn, is also a fantastic light texture brush! You can see an example of the texture in the leaves poking out the side of the library.
