Few months ago, I've been asked by Adobe to join their Prerelease Team for testing several IPad apps they were developing. I was honored to be part of such an incredible team of people from different background.
The 3 apps are a lot of fun to use; they're called "Adobe Eazel", "Adobe Color Lava" and "Adobe Nav".
The 3 apps are a lot of fun to use; they're called "Adobe Eazel", "Adobe Color Lava" and "Adobe Nav".
I've done the images below using "Eazel"; it's a fun unique five finger touch interface, and the paint/brushes are like painting with watercolors. The paint dries and depending on how fast you are applying the next color, the paint bleed, very interesting and have a lot of potential.
You can also transmit your images directly to Photoshop, and your image will appear on a layer, very nice feature.
I had a lot of fun too with "Color Lava", you can mix your colors on a palette, there's even a water bucket to clean your brushes!
All 3 apps connect with Photoshop.
They will be available early May 2011 in the ITunes App Store.
I've painted the bottom 2 images from models, "live", to test how spontaneous I could be with "Eazel".
The other ones are to test how the paints reacts, transparency, how detailed I could be...

Your drawings are wonderful, Stef! But using this tool they all look too 'digital' for my taste. But everybody is getting used to seeing digital images as the norm now. I've recently spoken to a young artist who has never painted anything with traditional media...
Thanks Uli! I really appreciate the compliment coming from you.
And yes, I do agree with you, they all look very digital. I guess it was part of the test to see how close or not you could get to a traditional media.
It is such a shame that some young Artists never used traditional media before going digital. it is so important as part of the development of becoming a complete Artist, to understand how things work, how colors, real paint mix together, it's part of the process of making digital look less digital.
This elephant drawing on your blog is marvelous!
Your sketches are awesome! I can't wait for this stuff to be released.
Very exciting, can't wait to try these out.
Interesting use as digital. I'm a beginner artist using traditional tools and mediums. I don't even have an iphone! lol
A water bucket to clean your imaginary brushes!!??!
Love those translucent colors. I totally agree about the need to understand traditional media- though in my art school no-one taught it!
