digital render, Procreate

I recently picked up the 12.9" iPad Pro with a Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, and have been having a great time drawing in Procreate- there is a ton more to learn, but it's very user friendly. In my case, it has smoothed the flow of creativity with it's ease access- open up the app and you are ready to go. The ability to work in layers without disturbing other media, undo marks, and quickly/cleanly erase marks makes the drawing experience more fluid overall.

Portrait of Artist Peter Manion

April 2021

St. Louis artist Peter Manion's work just makes me want to draw- the spontaneity and whimsy within naturally lead one down the path of mark making somehow. I was inspired by a 2016 painting of his, below at left, deciding to transform the profile into a portrait of the artist himself. Visit petermanionart.com.
