Number One-Hundred-And-Ten: Blowing In The Wind

Here's another piece I drew in Zen Brush. I really enjoy using this app and the sketches I like most are the ones I put the least time and effort into. It requires simplicity!

This one took slightly longer than the others I've made using Zen Brush simply because all the dots were more time consuming. Even so I tried to make sure I used as few brush strokes as possible (just one, actually) and as few dots as I could to communicate the idea of seeds on a breeze.

Number Seventy-Eight: Oddly Long-Necked Swan

Today's drawing was another one from Zen Brush. I like that app a lot and the pictures that I am most pleased with are always the ones I draw quickly and easily. Well, perhaps 'easily' is not the right word but they're the ones that seem to just happen, I guess. At first I wasn't sure about this swan but I saved it and later when I was looking through my photo gallery it jumped out at me and I realized that I liked it after all.

I can't remember which of the papers I used for this one but the app has a ton of backgrounds and papers to use and I liked the way it framed the swan.

Number Sixty-Three: Sitting Quietly

Today's art was drawn in Zen Brush; a nifty little app that mimics the use of an ink brush. I drew today's picture in less than ten seconds, just changing the size for the whiskers with the slider mid-draw. It was very satisfying to produce this and feel like I'd stayed true to the 'zen' idea.

The act of drawing with this app is also satisfying because the lines you draw really do act like paint on a brush, trailing off and deepening depending on how you move and your speed. I love it and I'll be experimenting a lot with it in the future!
