As Seen Through My Eyes...

I've decided to post some of my favourite recent twitter sketches to this blog too. From now on, I will post new sketches to both twitter and Meanderink, with the exception of the urban sketches (which always appear on my Flickr blog). Click for larger image.

Tweet Tweet!

These days I'm posting more and more sketches on Twitter that I make on my iPad using my favourite sketching apps (Procreate, Sketchtime and Art Set). Don't forget to check my Twitter feed for lots of new drawings!

Grow and Be Creative! More Twitter Sketches :)

Some more sketch tweets up on my Twitter sketchbook. Trying to stick to one every day...

Twitter Sketches, Sketch Time, and my Burgeoning Twitter Sketchbook...

In recent weeks, I've started using my Twitter account as my a personal digital sketchbook. What a great way to quickly spread the simple beauty of sketches in a way that echoes, in visual art, what Twitter itself does with words! Short and sweet... the sketch tweet! At the same time, I coincidentally stumbled upon SketchTime, an iPhone and iPad app by Hansol Huh. I had to get in touch with Hansol and thank him personally for finally creating an app that can keep up with how fast I draw, even on my iPhone 3GS! Since then, I've been posting sketches made on my iPhone using SketchTime directly to my Twitter account at the rate of about one a day... it's been great fun and I've met quite a few new people along the way! Personally, I can't tell you how happy I am that I can finally use my iPhone as a portable sketchbook, and tweet the results directly using iOS's native Twitter integration. Talk about not losing the moment! 

The potential is huge for sketchers using SketchTime. So far, I don't own an iPad so can't comment on the iPad version of SketchTime (however, today's rumoured iPad 3 announcement is less than half an hour away ... what a boon a retina display iPad with a suitably powerful processor would be to digital artists! Perhaps there's an iPad in my future yet ha ha :). I've also been updating my SketchZebra portrait site every Monday (as promised). This week's portrait is of a woman filmmaker I greatly admire, whose latest documentary won this year's Academy Award - check it out! 

And keep sketching :)
