April 5th, 2014
Look at the pretty CSS Mis made for this thing, I really love it. No new art unfortunately. Hand pretty crapped out and I'm supposed to be resting it. Or some dumb thing like that. Really hope to be making art again at some point because I misssssss it. Feel free to continue to make requests. Then I'll have something to look over when I do get back to art.

....

Alright well, I'm crap at resting. Pain meds ftw. Did a doodle, ha! Sovereign for Nothing2Fear. Again, a Tuhka design that I've loved from the moment I saw it. It had to be drawn! Was great human faced deer practice too.

April 1st, 2014
Herla and Gehirn. Tried something new here, painted it completely on one layer, which really made for some fun and unexpected color mixing. Also first human face finger doodle, ha! Gehirn belongs to Mis. Herla is mine so yeah, selfish artz! Also just wanted to add, I just noticed these canvases are about 1/3 larger then the actual iPad screen I work on.

March 20th, 2014
Gonna open up for a few of these. I may do a sketch, linework or fully painted, just depends on my muse, energy and interest. But it will all be done with my wee lillle finger on my iPad. Nothing more fancy then that. Please No human faced chars for this round. (Because I hate human faced chars. Neela the most. *punches her*. Nah, I’m just not up to it right now.) Oh yeah and please choose someone else’s char, not your own. Because sharing is caring.

About

So this is my blog for posting my iPad finger paintings. I use ArtRage and an iPad mini and my finger to paint these. It's a fun, loose, and free style compared to my usual more rigid art and I do it mostly to relax or when I'm not able to do art in my usual method. I do request and gifts and the occasional selfish art. Feel free to request, it's unlimited though no guarantee I'll get to them all. It's based solely on my inspiration and time.

Was honestly pretty inspired with distractedlemon’s finger sketching on their iPad.


@Toya, thank you! And I think you are right, easy to abstract that I think for a finger painting, good choice!

These are cute. It's neat

These are cute. It's neat that it seems like it picks up on all the little ridges too.

Do you use just one finger at a time or is it an operation for the entire hand?
Sighthoundlady's picture

I really like Art Rage as an

I really like Art Rage as an art program for just how well it emulates the look and feel of working with paints. Things like brush strokes. And I just use my index finger for the drawing/painting, but you can shift the canvas around and zoom in and out by using two fingers (thumb and index finger.)
AlisonRobin's picture

Yeah, I was looking at them

Yeah, I was looking at them again and was really amazed by how much they look like paints. More than that they sometimes have that quality that mixed paints that aren't entirely mixed have where they leave streaks of their components behind with each stroke. It looks like a good program for sure.

hoactzin's picture

I know you and Mis are

I know you and Mis are friends but she was the first person I interacted with on this community and I would like to request any of her characters because she was so kind and really helped me get into the vibe of this place.

Sorry if that's too vague. Maybe do Verve since that's the character my Toir got to spend time with.

(Edit: Looking at that picture of Prita I think Verve's long limbs would look really neat in this style.)
(Edit Again: Oh gosh oh gosh I missed the no human faced part never mind disregard aaahahhgggg)

These are pretty amazing.

These are pretty amazing. Makes me wanna try this myself. I've always liked painting with fingers, it feels so different to have this direct contact with the picture you're working on (: Though I suppose working on a digital picture may feel a little different, hehe. Very inspiring works anyway. Too bad I only have this shitty tablet that hardly works, but perhaps an innocent drawing app won't be too much?
If you're still taking requests, I'd like to ask for #swagentide
Sighthoundlady's picture

Wow, guys, I have to say I

Wow, guys, I have to say I didn’t think anyone would be much interested in these, since they aren’t my usual work, and pretty rough. So thanks so much.

@AlisonRobin, I love this program for that, the colors mix right on the canvas, makes some for lovely effects.

@Jacklo Honestly I think I’d prefer using my finger then a mouse, perhaps less carpel-tunnely? ROFL but I’m not sure. And thanks for the suggestion, that’s a lovely char, such pretty colors, I’m actually pretty excited to draw her. GOLD FTW.

@TmA Thanks so much! And I appreciate the interest.

@Holy Maria, You’re welcome, *infinite hugs* <3

@Zioomka, thanks for your interest, but I was really wanting people to please choose characters that didn’t belong to them? Is there someone you’d like to request for?

@Vala, Ha thanks, yeah, a pencil is a lot easier than a finger. Gosh imagine trying to sharpen your finger! But as I told Zioomka I requested people choose characters that didn’t belong to them (and also where not human faced) but Jennie has sweetly requested Vala as well so I’ll add it to my list and if I feel I can take it on, then I’ll give it a go, Eye

@Jennie Thank you! And yes, I’m enjoying how much this looks and feels like traditional art, especially nice though because I don’t have to actually take a bunch of oil paints into bed with me to get to paint with them.

Aww, hoactzin, that’s so very sweet too, and of course I’m pretty partial to Verve myself, she’s always a joy to draw so I’ll add her to the list, and we’ll see how it goes!

Thank you Flyleaf! <3

@Estme I’m flattered they are inspiring, and finger painting is indeed fun. Don’t even have to wash paint off when you’re done digitally finger painting, ha! And yeah, I think it was like $5 for the ArtRage App? Certainly not bank breaking. And thanks for the suggestion! *adds*


Feel free to add more folks! Again, PLEASE CHOOSE FOR OTHERS and NO HUMAN FACED CHARS. I don’t mind a big list at this point because I’ll be doing them as I feel inspired, they won’t be in order or maybe not even all finished. It’s for fun! But I’d like to be able to look here for something to draw when I have those spare moments and art needs to happen! <3

Wow Sight these are AMAZING!

Wow Sight these are AMAZING! I love the texture you're giving each and every one (and I don't mean the brush strokes since that's part of Artrage) but your actual texture you, as the artist, give your work. I wish I were this creative, but maybe they have this app for android, since I have a Nexus, not a iPad xD I can't wait to see the others you're going to paint!

I really do hope you feel better T.T I know you've been going through being sick...but I am glad you have an outlet for your art!

And if you have room later on or are inspired to at some point, I'm going to throw Zafeiri for Bladeh at you.

Thank you Jennipher and

Thank you Jennipher and Zioomka!

@SoliloquyChryseis, thank you very much, this has indeed been so very nice to be able to do this when stuck in bed, I resent so much being kept from the things I love, and truthfully, I’m more willing to let myself rest now when I need to because I get to take my books and my drawing with me ha. Technology is fantastic. The human condition will never stop being the human condition. Nice to have things that help us along.

And unfortunately they don’t have ArtRage for android/non apple tablets. But another friend was looking for something she could use on her kindle and we found SketchBookPro. I haven’t worked with it as extensively but it does seem to have nice lines and also has layers abilities. Seems promising. Think that’s what DistractedLemon is using as well to make their (super godamn amazing) sketches on their iPad.

Thank you a ton Jennipher for

Edit: I completely forgot to comment about the newest picture like a derp. I should wake up first before typing hahaha.

WOW. Lilu looks FANTASTIC! I love how you painted her, and I cannot stop staring at her tail feathers. I'm trying to figure out how you did the lights and darks, because I really didn't think an art program for the iPad could so something like this o.o this is really amazing, and I know Lost will LOVE it!

Technology is extremely useful, ipads for the win Laughing out loud Keeping artistic people arting while sick hehe

I think I have heard of it, but I don't think I have used it. Maybe but not sure haha. My hubby has an ipad, so I might be able to steal it from time to time and play with Artrage xD I should try out both and see what their capabilities are. Thanks for the suggestion (and yes, DistractedLemon does AMAZING art!)

Also, thank you for putting Zaf on your list. I need to get an updated link for you. I'll find that out later today.

Seriously was not expecting this. Lilu looks so gorgeous. I really love her face and eyes. And the tail is incredible, really really loving how you drew her. And also how she stands out from the background, makes her colours look so much brighter. I'm just going to keep staring at her for a while.
aaaaaa~ Thank you so much ;u; and Jacklo for being a requesting ninja. ♥

@SoliloquyChryseis Thank you very much, part of the fun right now is seeing what I can manage to tease out of this program. Hah, how it going getting your husband’s iPad? I don’t think I could manage to pry my husband from his XD! And yes, references of Zaf would be appreciated. ^_^

Thanks very much Snow! <3

@LostintheEcho I’m so glad you like it, always nice when gifts are appreciated. Lilu has a wonderfully appealing design, love purples and golds so much! So she was a real pleasure to draw.

And thanks Jacklo. ^_^

Wasn't expecting this until Holy told me over skype. She looks beautiful, everything about her, her eye is gorgeous, her ear, her horns, her markings.. everything is perfect.

Thank you, so very much, for drawing Zafeiri. She looks, just, wow, amazing in your style, this style. She's a gorgeous character, and you really pulled all her little detailed into such a perfect image. Just, thank you for drawing her, she's fabulous! <3

And I hope you like her Bladeh TwT <3 youuu

Indeed, the newest two are looking amazing, and I just can't stop glancing at the light values on Zafeiri, they look so smooth and realistically placed, especially on her feet.

Thank you Soli! Definitely

Thank you Soli! Definitely getting the hang of this finger painting stuff ha!

Bladeliger, I’m so glad you like her, I absolutely love Caribou and you really don’t see a lot of caribou chars around here really. She was fun to paint.

Niriya thank you! Blending finer details is challenging!

Thanks Tuoho! I’m having fun with these. <3

And please more suggestions! Don’t be shy! It’s okay to request multiple characters, I’ll be picking and choosing those that catch my fancy the most, so please suggest me some! I like the pretty does but pretty boys are okay too! Sorry no human faced chars yet, still too scared haha! ;_;
