Digitizing the Art: Learning the Tools /  by Tim Lane

I had a severe urge to draw the other day. So I got out the oil paintsticks and a large piece of paper. When I was done the proportions were off, so I decided to move over to a digital format. After taking a photo of the drawing, I uploaded the image to my iPad Pro and continued working on the piece with the drawing tools in Procreate. With sketch, drawing and paint strokes tools, I was able to maintain a lot of the original hand-drawn appearance.

Of course, I couldn’t stop there. Later, I pushed the original digital image in different directions in an effort to continue learning the Procreate tools. It is actually a lot of fun. There is a lot to learn. The results are below.

Original artwork can be found in the galleries and, of course, in the shop.

We Ate in Our Cars: a New Watercolor /  by Tim Lane

It’s been a minute since I made a watercolor. I’ve been focusing on the larger canvases. As always, attracted to the purples, pinks, emerald green.

Has This Film Been Made Yet? I Don't Think So. /  by Tim Lane

Adding this frightening theme to the series. Thank you for visiting the site. Please browse.

The space theme continues, but I’ve begun to think about the mind as a phenomenon within the universe, such as a black hole, wormhole or star.

The concept of the mind is almost as impossible to grasp as space.

Mother & Son: a New Painting /  by Tim Lane

This painting was born out of a keen desire to make an artwork completely out of oil paintstick and pastel, all in one go, no preliminary drawings, just go. It is hard to eliminate the sheen when taking the photo. The black hole as mother of the universe is a theme to which I continue to return.
