Description
If you need to start making great art on your iPad, then this book is for you! Despite the fact that you have absolutely no experience in art, you’re going to learn fundamental art-school principles, a diversity of iPad art techniques, and then manage to take the leap into making original artworks on your iPad.
Innovative in scope, Make Great Art on Your iPad is structured around the classic genres of art, such as still life, landscape painting, portraits, and perspective. Steadily iPad art is associated only with the graphic and illustrative arts found in genres such as video games. This book is grounded firmly in the traditions of the fine art world.
The chapters “Great Compositions” and “Colour” teach important fundamentals for any kind of art, and “A Sweet Gesture” teaches drawing skills. Other chapters lead you through drawing still lifes, portraits, animals, and challenging objects like glass, plastic and reflective surfaces. “What Would Banksy Do?” puts art into your own urban context, and “Monet’s Water Lilies” takes you into the mindset of the Impressionists. In “Hanami & Bokeh”, you’re going to commute to the cherry blossom festival in Tokyo; in the perspective projects you’re going to gaze at the magnificent Smokey Mountains, in addition to the interior of an art museum. As the skills of each chapter are mastered, there are many projects so we can continue to challenge, and will enrich the proficiencies of even accomplished iPad artists.
To inspire the reader even further, the “Masterwork” sections introduce exceptional artists who work in traditional media in addition to on the iPad. From Banksy’s street art, Margaret Morrison’s pop-inspired hyperrealism, Janet Fish’s still lifes, Claerwen James’ modern portraits, and Gwen John’s paintings of cats, through to Schiele’s and Seurat’s masterpieces of drawing, the work of these artists give context to the themes of the projects. This is the should- have book for any aspiring iPad artist
