360 Days Around the Color Wheel

This is a daily(ish) experiment with color and design. To explore various image-making tools. To expand and improve as an artist. To learn something and have fun. This is a personal project inspired by daily art experiments like Skull a Day, 365 abstracts, and others.

Struggling with this marker brush. I can only make anything of interest working abstract with this damn thing.

Hex - FF1500 RGB - 255, 21, 0 HSV/B - 5°, 100%, 100% HSL - 5°, 100%, 50% Gray - 35% CMYK - 0%, 92%, 100%, 0% HTML - None SVG - None

Switched over to the next tool in the Sketchbook Basic brush set: the vintage marker. I’ve never really worked with analog graphic markers so I don’t know how it compares to the real thing, but I it seems it would be hard for sketching. I seemed to get the most interesting effects from just drawing vertical lines.

@ all of my followers who use the mobile tumblr app!!!

please go to “General Settings” then to “Dashboard Preferences” and turn off “Best Stuff First”. This is killing artist exposure! Please, please, PLEASE, turn it off if you really do love the artists you follow! You’d be helping us so much! Please reblog this so that more people may know!

Primary Pencil again with a monochromatic palette. Had the idea of doing a stylized animal of some kind. Just what kind of animal is that anyway?

So, I already fell behind by getting wrapped up in a more representational drawing. I’m not fast enough (yet?) to do a daily drawing/painting on the iPhone if I’m trying to make something look recognizable and to my satisfaction. I tumble into a fiddling hole. Fiddle with this, fiddle with that. And I just don’t have time for that if I’m going to keep on a daily schedule. Fortunately, what I was playing around with was using black and white and then coming back in with the color after, maybe on a separate layer. So maybe I can keep twiddling with the drawing in B&W and use a different red in a few days. And to get back into a daily post, I did this.

With this one I’m continuing to experiment with the Primary Pencil, with red + black and white. It’s successful in that i go it done.

Hex - FF0400 RGB - 255, 4, 0 HSV/B - 1°, 100%, 50% HSL - 1°, 100%, 50% Gray - 31% CMYK - 0%, 98%, 100%, 0% HTML - None SVG - None Much the same as yesterday except working on black instead of white. I tried to keep my outlines solid and not so sketchy. I had a clear picture in my mind of what I was going for. This wasn’t really it. Also, had so much going on today had to do it quick.

Hex - FF0000 RGB - 255, 0, 0 HSV/B - 0°, 100%, 100% HSL - 0°, 100%, 50% Gray - 30% CMYK - 0, 100%, 100%, 0 HTML - red SVG - red Since the brushes app seems to be dead and gone I'm switching to the sketchbook app. Here I just used the Primary Pencil in the Basic Brush set. And using just red and white.

Re-boot. Start again at zero. Red.

EE FF 00 - opened Brushes Redux and saw this. I vaguely remember doing this a few months ago based on an old photo someone uploaded to Flickr. I wish I could quote the source but the recollection is hazy. I'll have to check my Flickr favorites.

This is the gallery view of the last painting I was working on before upgrading to iOS 8 which made Brushes go kablooey. Brushes was the only painting app that I was using regularly. Almost all of 360 color art was done in Brushes, but I was having some trouble getting a grove going with it when I went to version 2 and then the iOS 8 fiasco. So recently I’ve been trying other tools, seeing what strikes my fancy…and now I just discover that someone has made Brushes Redux, a revamped version of Brushes that works in iOS 8!

So what tool will I use going forward?

FF FF 00 - officially in the land of yellow now. Playing around with Ink Pad, a vector app for iPad. It's the best vector app I've found yet. So I was playing around tracing a photo of an old tractor. I could keep going on this but I like the abstract quality. I think I'm going to leave it like that.
