Digital drawing in ArtRage oils. Using my finger to draw as I don’t have a stylus on my phone. The colours aren’t bad, but with just four brush tools it can end up a bit streaky. There is a metallic option but I only used it a bit….

Digital drawing
Thought I would do an observational drawing of my walking shoes. I’d been looking for them and when I found them stored in a plastic box they were covered in grey mould! I must have stored them when they were damp last year.
My hubby treated them with dilute bleach and they seem fine now. I’ve been walking in these and some dark red ones with higher ankle sides and whirr fluffy linings. I might draw them next.
I’m doing a series of observational drawings, at least one a day, do this seemed appropriate as I have been walking in them today.
Digital drawing as you can see….
New boots.. 100 days…
I’m going walking
A long way
Far into the distance
And maybe back again.
I’m going walking
For 100 days
Come rain or shine
I’m moving forward
I’m going walking
So new boots
To help me travel
Over the earth.
I’m going walking
I Wave as I pass.
See you in May?
If I get back

Digital urban sketch
Today’s challenge for usk Stoke was to draw my favourite footwear.
I don’t own many pairs of shoes. I’ve got these banana yellow ones, but I haven’t worn them in yet.
This drawing was done on an app called ArtRage. I got the pro version last year as a birthday present.
The drawing is difficult because the colours mix on screen and it’s a bit like painting in liquid butter with a stick, as I was using a stylus. I found getting the size of pens, pencils, or brushes hard, as the size goes from very small, to smallish!
Anyway after faffing about for a while I managed to get a reasonable representation.

Hi I’m trying new editor

Right, well, I’m just trying to see how this looks. Normally I use a format which I like. I know how it will turn out. But as it looks like we will have to use the new editor I thought I would have a go.
So I’m pressing buttons and hoping. I’ve already changed the format into bold large text and back again……
So the shoes were at a vintage craft fair I went to today. Trouble was, they were about a size 4 (UK) and I’m a 5…plus I don’t do heels, but they were beautiful and only £15. Sadly I decided I didn’t need them.
Well now I’ve found a colour block, but what I need is categories to add tabs…..
Photo, new editor, learning, well that was me trying to add tabs. I previewed this and it looks a bit scrappy…..
