Today I went over to my old stomping grounds – Chemeketa Community College – to do a sketch. It was a beautiful day and I wanted to test out my new work method.<\/p>\n

I started by taking a picture with my iPod Touch using the ProHDR app.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Next I used ArtRage on the Touch to create a quick color study working from the photo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I then used Photogene to drop out the color to create a value study.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I used the value study to draw the major shapes in my watercolor notebook. I used a Pilot FriXion erasable pen so that I could erase the initial placement lines later if I wanted. Then I drew with my Mars 500 technical pen with Noodler's Bulletproof black ink. As I drew I looked at the scene to see the detail. <\/p>\n

Finally I added watercolor using a small flat chisel brush. I looked at both my color study and the scene before me to determine the colors.<\/p>\n

There's no way to know what the sketch would have been like had I just jumped right in and started sketching without the preliminary iPod Touch studies, but I feel they helped with the layout and color choices and they got my creative juices flowing.<\/p>\n
