iPad Art: Portraits

by on in iPad art

Halle Berry by Woon Tien David Chong

I’m continually amazed with the incredible art being created on iPads. For years I’ve watched as a growing number of both traditional and ‘digital artists have embraced the Apple tablet as not just one of their tools, but as their primary canvas. I’ll share some great iPad artwork here each weekend, and I hope some of you will become fans of it too, or better still be inspired to create your own art on the iPad.

Today’s selection of amazing iPad art is around the theme of portraits. First up is Halle Berry by Woon Tien David Chong – created using the Procreate app. One of the most beautiful women in the world, and this portrait does her justice I think.

Incredible iPad Paintings

by on in iPad art

Flamenco Brushes 2

I’ve been fascinated with the incredible paintings being created on iPads and iPhones for years now. There is more and more fantastic art being created on iPads by digital artists and also by established and acclaimed traditional artists – like Britain’s David Hockney, just to cite one quick example.

I even run a little baby site devoted to just iPad and iPhone art. I rarely get time to update it lately though and I think I’m going to start sharing some iPad art here on iPad Insight on a regular basis. I am hoping some of you will share my admiration for the wonderful images being created on our favorite tablet device.

As a start, I’ll share some favorite iPad paintings each weekend, either instead of or in addition to a weekend iPad wallpapers post.  This week’s picks start with the image shown above – ‘Flamenco’ by Woon Tien David Chong, created with the Brushes 2 app. I love Flamenco and I love how this image captures the elegance of it.

Macworld iWorld Caricatures

What’s cooler than going to Macworld/iWorld and having a personal caricature done as a keepsake for the event? Having the caricature finger sketched on an iPad of course.

And that’s exactly what was on offer at this year’s event – courtesy of Zach Trenholm. Trenholm worked as a celebrity caricaturist for the press for many years and now specializes in sketching live at special events. How great must that be to have that kind of talent and have that as your day job.

Hit the break to check out a couple of these impressive caricatures and the people who sat for them …

Weekend iPad Wallpapers: Lord of the Rings Theme

Orc iPad wallpaper

This weekend’s iPad wallpaper choices are two with a strong Lord of the Rings theme. Both were shared to our iPad Insight Flickr group by SKR Imaging, and boy am I glad they were.

The first, shown above, is titled Orc and was painted on an iPad using the Procreate app. I think this image is just so powerful and wonderfully menacing. I also love the colors in it.

iPad at Work: In the Hands of a Master Artist

by on

The iPad is said by some to be just about consuming information – browsing the web, checking on email, a device for consumption, not creation. Kyle Lambert, a UK-based freelance artist, is one of the many amazing ‘fingerpainters’ who did not get the memo as they say. His series of portraits done with the superb [...]

iPad at Work – Creating Incredibly Beautiful Art

I’ve mentioned some of the work being done by renowned artists like David Hockney on iPads and iPhones here before. I find myself continually astounded at the beautiful working being done by ‘fingerpainters’ (their term, not mine) on the iPad and iPhone. Images like the one shown above, ‘Autumn Tints’ by Yoshiyuki Uchida, are just [...]
