Dreaming


Dreaming - Probably my last image for this year. Created entirely in iColorama - it is starting to grow on me. So much blending and stuff - good thing I don't have to duplicate it ðŸ˜‰ I am saving this image because there is so much other stuff I would do in other apps and will probably play with it again sometime after my iColorama course is finished. This is getting closer to what I am envisioning my iPad/app work to look like.

Trees




Some tree images from around Four Seasons and my AM walks. All created with iColorama. I am taking an iColorama course and finding it challenging.  Very hard to get my head around the ins and outs of iColorama but it is fun.  My problem is I work fast and create so many variations that I do not know how I produced these images - so many filters and stuff in iColorama.  I try to slow down and take notes but it never quite happens.

Rebirth


Apps - Slowshutter, Leonardo, Decim8, Lens Distortions, Mextures, Snapseed
Slowshutter on the figure, iPhone6 camera on the trees
For a challenge on one of my Mobile FB groups. I just bought Decim8 and I am loving it.

Bride Maids


I took the image I made the other day “White Dress” and converted it to B&W and ran some apps on it and came up with this. New apps used - Snapseed, Leonardo, Decim8, LightBrush, Don’t know how I feel about it but it is interesting. So different from anything I have ever produced - I am trying to learn by experimenting.

Another original photo of road markings from my AM walk abstracted taken with my iPhone6. Apps - Adobe PaintCan, iColroama, Procreate, Leonardo, Snapseed, Lightbrush. I wanted to do another one of these just to make sure I could.

A Step Away


Photo from my iPhone 6 modified on my iPad with lots of other stuff.  One of the BG images was a photo I took of road markings. Apps used - Leonardo, Light Brush, Stackables, Procreate and Snapseed.  Images were in some of these apps a few times.  Love making the images on my iPad but I wish I knew how I made them.  When you create in Photoshop and you are finished you have your original image with all its layers (steps) - not so with apps.

Created on my iPad. Apps used - Procreate, iColorama, Snapseed, Repix, Leonardo
My yoga teacher said today we all have flaws and that is what makes us interesting.  I think it can make us assholes but then that is just me!!

On The Move


Created on my iPad - apps used Leonardo, iColorama, Procreate, Mextures.  Well I sure am trying but I just feel I have no voice on my iPad.  I am not sure of my direction, what I want to produce and also how to do it.  The only way I know to overcome this is to just practice and work at it and learn the apps.  Hopefully my path will be revealed.

Maple


Still playing with Project 1. I took the photo of the maple leaf on my morning walk. It is fall here in the Northeast and the leaves are falling. Apps used - Leonardo, Stackables, Lightbrush, Procreate and iColorama for the paper texture and the lettering. I used Leonardo to add the pods and tree branches to the background. This is the first time I have used iColorama for text and it works really great, you can even add shadows - still learning this app. I did extract the leaf and create the png file in Photoshop. I am enjoying making these botanical images!

Botanicals Course



So I am taking a course on creating Botanical images with frames on my iPad.  These are two examples I made for the first project.  It is a fun course and I hope to learn more about some of the apps I have on my iPad.

I have decided to work exclusively on the iPad with apps for the next couple of months.  I want to get away from my dependence on Photoshop and making composite images.  I can do that and I do it well - I want to expand my artistic ability and really learn how to use the iPad and the apps I have purchased.

I am looking to make personal, simpler, and more intimate images.  I want to express myself in a new way and I am excited to start this journey.  It is a great time of year to start - I tend to spend a lot of time inside during the winter and I have this and another course lined up.  I also am gathering examples of work that I find edgy and exciting and is in keeping with what I envision myself making.   I have a list of apps I want to focus on and I want to get some sort of work flow going.

The apps used in the above work - Leonardo, Stackables, Procreate, LightBrush, and iColorama.

When You Wish


I created this quite a while ago but just never posted it.  Made this part in Photoshop and finished on my iPad. The background is a photo from Long Island the rest stuff added.  Probably the last image like this for now - I am going to devote my time to my iPad and learning apps for the next few months.

Selune


Created on my iPad 
Apps - Adobe Paintcan, Repix, Procreate

Selune represents the mysterious power of the moon, the celestial force that influences the tides, changes lycanthropes, orders of reproductive cycles, and pulls at the edges of sanity. An incalculably ancient deity, Selune approaches existence with the placid calm of dappled moonlight. Like the moon itself, the quietly mystical Lady of Silver has many faces.

PA Landscape


Created on my iPad - apps Adobe Paintcan, Repix and Procreate
My photo from PA.
Loving Paintcan interesting app and lots of potential, easy to use and nice results. I think maybe I should have brought this into iColorama for some lighting and color adjustments but was just playing with Paintcan for now.

Foresworn


Model - Hannah Colby File
Created on my iPad

I just cannot seem to make the type of image I have in mind - working on my iPad but still thinking Photoshop. I need to maybe spend a month or more just experimenting on the iPad with nothing in mind and no posting to get where I need to go - I am frustrated!
