iPad Art Tutorials: (Links and PDF's)

iPad Art Tutorial: (Links and PDF's)

This is a Review type of a post I decided to do for my friends over at Sketch Club. 

If you haven't tried Sketch Club yet and you like to do Painting or Drawing or Art In General on the IPhone and/or iPad then you don't know what your missing.

All of you that follow my Blog and have commented and/or your one of the people who send me emails daily thanking me for my reviews and requesting other review's and/or what posts you want next KNOW I don't give my seal of approval easily and it is next to impossible to get 10/10 stars from me unless you deserve it. As a matter of fact NOTHING has received over 8 stars as of yet.

Sketch Club is a 9/10. There are a few small details/brush features missing from it that "other apps" have and would be extremely useful.

(Example's):

Create your own Brush, Dry Brushing, Paint Loads etc.. But the thing is this....they aren't really needed because this App is so good. Dry brushing would be a good addition though. 

But to top it all off, the owner/creator of this App BlackPawn is one of the most friendly and down to earth guys you will EVER meet. He follows and researches his consumers wants and needs for his app and implements them ASAP if his consumers want them. This App is just over 6 months old and has had 7 Major updates. It includes recording your artwork videos as you draw it and SO SO MUCH MORE!

Bottom line check it out immediately.

The following links are designed for various "Other" Apps but they all translate to each other for the most part.

(Example:)
ProCreate has a blend tool and so does Sketch Club. Even though the basics are there, you might have to adjust the brush size or blending opacity etc.. To reach the same desired effect. BUT it is feasible.

Now back to the IPad Art links and PDF's, copy/paste the link's below, ALOT of these Tutorials are from MacWorld and/or Kyle Lambert. Who is one of if not THE best iPad artist on the iPad. Others come from various iPad Art Apps and are there own App Tutorials. They for the most part are all the same from App to App.

To finish out this review I am wanting to receive volunteers to help me design a PDF type Tutorial on Sketch Club and all it's wonderful Brushes and features.

http://sketchclub.com/help/ <------This link here shows about what I am asking for. Click on Brush Guide and that's a general Idea of what I am thinking. I wNt to make a whole Tutorial Guide using Sketch Club as a means to show EVERYONE who uses an iPad what Sketch Club can do and also what the brushes and effects that the Apps have are used for and what each one does.

Below is kinda a glossary of the tutorial or terms, if you are interested in helping to make the PDF then please feel free to leave a comment or send me an email or twitter mention and we can go from there. @CreatineReview .

Brush Guide: What each brush does and it's uses and effects, must show various sizes (let's say 5 for each brush or effect) to show the difference from the sizes. Let's say 1%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% for each brush.

This shows an example of each and looking at each brush size you might notice one size looks like a rug and another like grass or if you double layer the 5% brush it looks like a forest floor etc...(Only an Example). Must be done for each brush. So say we have 20 brushes and 5 examples of each equals only 100 lines you have to make. It is really easy to do each but very hard for one person to do. I need YOUR help.

Examples of the tutorial topics to be included:

Brushes: types, sizes, opacity and effects of each
Eraser's: sizes, opacity, effects etc of each
Fur, Grass, Pen, Pixels, Sketchy, Smooth, Text, Vector etc.. All the same.

Layers: How-to use them and blending, lightening, darkening etc...

Color Mixing, Blending, Shading, Multiply, Dodge, Transform etc..how do all these work and what are there features and use's?

This guide will be the Best of the Best and designed "Around" Sketch Club but the way it will be written can and will be used and adapted to be used with EVERY single iPad Art App out there.

Also with each video if anyone would like to make a small or short video on YouTube that we can link to some or all or any of the tutorials above that would be great.

(Example Only) Pastor Bob wants to show each brush using it's size, opacity and it's features and uses along with the actual brush and the others like Fur, Grass etc... In a small video to show WITH  the tutorial would help 50% of people who can read so,something BUT learns easier by seeing it actually being done AND also reading it.

Send me a comment or a message in Sketch Club or Twitter (@CreatineReview) or an email with any or all the parts you wish to contribute to. We can have more than one person doing each one and none will be left out. If me and Pastor Bob and Black all do brush tutorials each o e will be different or explained better or worse for some so it helps everyone overall.

Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you all amd get this Guide/Tutorial written for our "iPad Art Communities"
