Fruit Torture
Digital Collage
Michelle Buchanan 2012
Recently I saw an interview with David Hockney that inspired me to try drawing on my tablet. I have done a lot of work in the past with Photoshop and other graphics programs. I also have a Wacom tablet and have tried drawing on that connected to my laptop with some pretty dismal results. After seeing what Hockney was doing on an ipad I was inspired enough to try again. This time I did it directly on my "knockoff" ipad that was purchased this past Christmas. The drawings were done using only my index finger. The above work is a result that I am quite pleased with. It is actually six separate drawings that I pieced together into one work. The most exciting aspect of this experiment was realizing that I can bring my tablet with me anywhere and use it to sketch. Not to mention that I now have a much better use for it in addition to it just being a glamorized book reader and email box.
I also did the background image on this site of the apple using this tablet. It's a little addicting, I admit.
