So I suck at drawing but I do like to sketch for fun on my iPad and after I wrote my "best stylus" review ([link] a few people asked me what apps I liked to draw using.

So I played with 4 of the most popular ones and wrote this article containing mini-reviews of each (Paper, procreate, ArtStudio, and ArtRage). Feel free to comment beneath the article with what your favorites are and why.

While desktop post-processing applications are 'all-in-one', mobile apps tend to be more task-specific. This means a different workflow when editing an image on the iPad. I just posted an article on iPad image editing workflowon my blog with a step by step including cloning out an electrical socket, cropping, applying a filter, editing IPTC data, and the final export.

It's how I made from beginning to end, including the various apps I used, how I used them, and why I chose them.

Hope some find it useful.

So yeah, I don't just take photos. I like to sketch, too...and the iPad makes drawing very convenient with no need to waste paper, ink, and lead.

And contrary to what Steve Job's ghost thinks, using a stylus to draw with is preferable to using your finger.

I've been drawing on an iPad for almost two years now and have at some point invested in pretty much every type of stylus out there. I decided to review 3 of them. I chose these 3 for two reasons: they are among the most popular and each is fundamentally different from the other.

If you don't want to read my iPad stylus review (y'know...'cause words iz hurd), I came to the conclusion that the Pogo Sketch (and other capacitive foam nib-type styli) is crap, the Adonit Jot Classic is wonderfully accurate and well-balanced but has durability and convenience issues, and the Watcom Bamboo is perfectly weighted and balanced, feels wonderful in the hand, but isn't as accurate.

And before you ask, I have tried dozens of cheap made-in-China styli and none has lasted more than a few months of regular usage or is more than a "button masher". Most have either a high-density rubber nib that doesn't drag (and so is useless for writing or drawing) or has a thin rubber skin over an internal spring that wears down quickly. And don't get me started on those "stylus-as-pen" combination things...they become completely useless after switching from stylus to pen a few times.

Anyway, to read the details of my stylus experience (as well as what sketching apps I use and some of my sketches) see my blog article here: [link]

It's kinda frustrating watching people fall for the name brand hype, specifically Adobe's Photoshop Touch. It's new and it doesn't do much and there are many more mature, full-featured image editors for the iPad out there that can do more than let you just "play with" or "model" an image.

So, I decided to review a couple that I use the most. The first is Photogene with the GoPro in-app upgrade.

You can find the review on my blog at [url][link]

The next will probably be Nik's Snapseed. 0

Thanks to `StamatisGR for the DD on and all the ensuing dA lovin'!

On a separate note, this morning I published another PJ5 street photographer feature. This time it's a local (Taipei) friend of mine, TC Lin. He doesn't have a dA account, but that doesn't make him a bad person.

The interview is on my blog here: [link]

A couple of weeks ago someone I know at the China Post (an English-language newspaper in Taiwan)  asked me to write a 'foreigner experience in Taiwan' column in their paper. My column appeared in the print edition yesterday and made it's way into the online version yesterday afternoon.  Basically, I centered it around my love for street photography.

You can read and comment on it here: [link]

Forewarning: somewhere between the print edition and the online edition the images went missing and some of the paragraph breaks were lost so it looks kinda ugly.

Yeah, so I finally broke down and created an artist page on Facebook...no more confusing mom with random street photos interspersed between photos of her grandchildren.

I would appreciate a "Like" from those who follow me here and who enjoy my work

The page is here: [link]

THANK YOU!

No, this isn't spam. The creator of Easy Release, ApplicationGap, offered me a free copy of their best-selling iOS app, Easy Release. The problem is, I already bought one. So now I have an iTunes code for a free copy and nothing to do with it...

How about a mini-contest?

[link]



Easy Release is a must-have for any photographer wanting to sell his work commercially.

Good luck! You have 6 days....

After a recent scare in which my domain fees came due and I wasn't able to pay them, leaving my website dead for a couple of days (THANKS FOR THE TEMPORARY LOAN `StamatisGR! Check your Paypal!) I decided to put a paypal donation button on my website for anyone who wants to help cover my hosting and domain fees.

No matter what, I will still do my best to continue interviewing street photographers weekly and penning the occasional street photography tutorial as I have time.

If you're in an altruistic mood, the donate button is in the top of the right margin at the PhotoJazz website.

One final note: over the next couple of weeks I will be dealing with midterms & student reports so I may miss a PJ5 or two. My apologies in advance, but meatworld stuff takes precedence.
