Y'know PC World should pay me to do a drawing tour of all of their shops. That would be fun :) Anyhow, finished work today (this year has been a doozey) and popped into the shop to draw on some screens. The problem with a hundred tablets out there that I want to draw on is that if I were to buy 100 tablets I'd have a huge amount of difficulty trying to explain that to people around me. So instead we screen share. Well we Share Screen anyhow. The staff and I all get on well, chat holidays while I'm drawing and we chat about apps and styli used and they keep an eye on my pictures as they fall on the screen. Today I had an hour and a half but, since I'd had a lot of pent up doodling stuck inside of me that let to four pictures drawn. Well, five, but I'll explain the fifth later.

(Marmite; because it's one of - if not my favourite - British icons. Sony Vaio laptop and Stylus Sock and MS Paint as Sony don't include Fresh Paint in their demo software).  (Stylus T. Frog; because he's stuck by me through thick and thin. Sony Tap 11, Sony Pen and MS Paint).  (Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and Webchemy online app).    (MS Surface Pro 2, Stylus Sock and Fresh Paint app).  ... and this one wasn't planned, just happened. I was asked how I draw a picture if I don't know what I'm going to draw (a rejig of the 'where do you get your ideas from' sort of queston). If in doubt I take a line for a walk and see where it goes. It's the plan that's given me a depressed Godzilla, a drunk grandma being sick in the street, a snowboarding penguin and a hundred things equally unexpected. So I did a quick scribble and that led to the picture above which I didn't really have the time to finish as I was supposed to have been gone after 60 minutes of drawing and left after 90 minutes. Regardless. Love drawing on screens as much as I ever did and always happy to mix it up on devices.
