Digitizing the Art: Learning the Tools /  by Tim Lane

I had a severe urge to draw the other day. So I got out the oil paintsticks and a large piece of paper. When I was done the proportions were off, so I decided to move over to a digital format. After taking a photo of the drawing, I uploaded the image to my iPad Pro and continued working on the piece with the drawing tools in Procreate. With sketch, drawing and paint strokes tools, I was able to maintain a lot of the original hand-drawn appearance.

Of course, I couldn’t stop there. Later, I pushed the original digital image in different directions in an effort to continue learning the Procreate tools. It is actually a lot of fun. There is a lot to learn. The results are below.

Original artwork can be found in the galleries and, of course, in the shop.

A Look at 2024, So Far /  by Tim Lane

Nineteen works so far in 2024. Will I get to an even twenty paintings? I like odd numbers. Maybe twenty-one.

Has This Film Been Made Yet? I Don't Think So. /  by Tim Lane

Adding this frightening theme to the series. Thank you for visiting the site. Please browse.

The space theme continues, but I’ve begun to think about the mind as a phenomenon within the universe, such as a black hole, wormhole or star.

The concept of the mind is almost as impossible to grasp as space.
