Someone asked me the other day if I ever get bored of drawing and painting on an iPad... How can I when so many apps are so good, and new ones are released every day? Above is Sketches, which I like, and is very cool in a good number of ways... But it only takes one quirk to irritate me and this apps is that you can zoom into an image - but not OUT of an image (also - OH BOY) it has an odd interface. Hmm. Undecided but it's odd. Anyhow - above is my go-to 'What do I draw today' Marmite Jar (I is a Jartist for a start)... But it's also a crowd pleasing (or rabble rousing :) depends whether you love or hate it I suppose) image that's something I adore drawing. Below is the above image taken and reworked in ArtRage - which is also an app I love on iPad and on desktop (and on touch screen enabled Windows device).

So. Do I get bored? Rarely, if ever. Tablet and touch screen art is all sorts of fun and I'm sure it will remain so for many years to come... (unless I end up drawing on watch screens or something :) )
