Digital sketch of boat on poles at marina
Today I did a digital sketch from life of a small
boat on props at a local marina in Southampton. I used 'Autodesk
Sketchbook Pro' for this. It was the first time I had used the 'pro'
version after upgrading from the free version a few days ago. The
main feature, for me, is that you are now able to choose your
document or canvas size. Before it was restricted to the size of your
screen on your tablet or device. You also get some more materials and
tools to play around with and of I will investigate further at some
other time. The boat was loosely sketch in with a pencil and the
intention was just go around tightening up the drawing for my
allotted period drawing. Instead however I decided to add some rough
colour in to the artwork. The day itself was during the start of
Autumn so the temperature was getting milder now. It was also a grey
and damp day with a few spots of rain falling on to the screen of my 'Microsoft
Surface Pro'. The usual difficulty was there of not being able to see
what I was doing, because of the shiny screen reflecting the sky
above. Also the battery was not fully charged so I had a limited time
to do something. It took about 30mins to do and it is ok for what it
is. If I had been able to carry on I would have put in some
suggestion of the other boats, mainly on the left hand side and more
precise colour and detail.
