A cat from ASketch

ASketch is a funny app. I mean a bit odd actually. I really am not too fond of the twisty tool controls. Sometimes things can be stripped too bare to ‘essentials’, a too spare interface for simplicity. And sometimes reinventing things that work perfectly well and as expected just isn’t the right way to go. Procreate has the sliders. Perfect and simple.

Lampshade in filter fun

Some more fooling around in Popsicolor. The results are so dramatic. Just don’t know what to do with them with the image is so strong. Playing with a flat colour field yields some interesting textures and abstractions.

Oh, no! I can’t see…

There will almost certainly be a shortage of posts or drawings until I can get my new eyeglasses on this face. (You didn’t notice those typos because this iPad can type better than I can) ( and you didn’t notice how long it took me to fix the typos in that last aside, either, now did you).

I have been compensating for this astigmatism with a pair of 1.25 readers. I am usually twisting and bending them them to get a comfortable fit and minimal annoying distortions, and so the frames have just gone all jelly like.

This rain has kept me in off the roads, so I haven’t been able to get to my optometrist where my new spectacles, no doubt, have been waiting in expectation of their future use for just a few days now.

Once again, Popsicolor savages another image. Then into InkPad for some simple vectors. I suspect InkPad is capable of much more sophisticated work.

Calico. Sleeping. On the couch. Again. Will this ever stop?
