No Stylus - All about Touch Screen

 Drawing and painting on the iPad is a great way to be creative with your iOS device and to do it you need some good iPad drawing and painting apps. I have been trying out a few of these art apps for iOS and I think that ArtStudio has to be one of the best applications out there for creating digital art on the iPad.

 It took me quite a long time to find out how to create custom art brushes as the documentation didn't really mention how it could be done. In this video I show you a step-by-step guide with making your own brushes in ArtStudio.

When you're working on a drawing you want to be able to do some things pretty quickly, such as changing the colour or the mode of drawing. In our studio there are gestures available that you can use to get to dialogue boxes for choosing the way that your application is working quickly. When you are creating a digital painting you want to be able to let the creativity flow and you don't want the application to get in the way. By using these gestures that are configurable in ArtStudio you can really fly at your painting and let your art takeover.

Looking for an iPad application on which to do your digital drawing and painting? I have been using ArtStudio and loving all of the tools that you get with the application. 

Loads of tools for applying colour as brishstrokes, pen or pencil lines and also as a sprayed colour like from a spray can or an airbrush. You can have the colour go down wet so that when you add other colours wet, they will mix on the page.

 I will be looking at a number of art, drawing and painting applications for the iPad. I have started with the application Procreate. This is one of my favourite applications along with ArtStudio for splashing colour around on my iPad screen. You get the opportunity to use some really good at drawing and painting tools for creating either nice crisp creative lines or making colourful textures with the brushes.

The application could do with some tools for selecting various as you would find in the application ArtStudio, otherwise there is just about all that you need for iOS creativity. There are some good layer tools with a number of blending modes. There are a good number of brush style is available that are infinitely configurable so that you can have paint applied however you want. If you don't want to lay out cash for the extra brushes that you can buy, then you can make your own brushes very easily. In the next video that I will be putting out on the Wizardgold YouTube channel I will be demonstrating how to make a new brush.

Looking at the brushes in more detail and also at some of the ways you can apply filter effects to a layer of the whole image to get special effects or just set up the exposure, contrast and saturation in a photo.

You can stylise images with some trick filters like the Twirl filter and you can get some spectacular effects.

After first taking a look at the basic things that you can do in the application appropriate, this video is to show you how easy it is to make your own paintbrushes in Procreate. There are just a couple of little things actually have to know and understand in order to be successful in making your new and sexy brushes. Once you have made a brush then you can further changes and make it your own with a huge number of settings that you can twiddle and fiddle with.

 This is the fifth video in a series of videos showing how to use Pinnacle Studio. It is very easy to add a voice-over to your video and you can see very clearly how the voice-over is relating to the video elements. Once you have recorded your voice-over you can trim the audio clip at the beginning and end. If you need to split the audio track, then you can do that with the razor blade tool. This would be a way to chop out sections of audio from the middle of a audio track.

In this video I also look at how you can swap one transition for another. I show you that it is going to be probably necessary to render the video if you make changes to the length of the transition.

Pinnacle for iPad is in my mind the best of the video editing applications for iPad. Of course I do still keep iMovie on my iPad because there are some things that iMovie does do better. Of the two applications Pinnacle Studio is my go to movie editing application. This is because I think that there is more control over what you are doing within Pinnacle Studio.
