Transfer Using IPad Pro and Procreate

[Andrew Biggs]

This thing has got me completely hooked.

Another test run from outline, pencil in working areas, pencil sketch, outline in pen that Sam gave me, create transfer………and it works perfectley

You can watch the video here

The lion was downloaded from Google images and placed on the drawing, outlined and then deleted. I was simply testing to see how easy scene work could be created using multiple layers. Easy peasy!!!

Cheers
Andrew

Amazing work Andrew
you make it look so easy ... LoL
i did you reverse the image too and bottom, and left and right?
really looks nice

 

[Andrew Biggs]

Hi Omar

Thank you.........Yes, reverse images were used as the design and plate are symmetrical

Cheers
Andrew

A question which pencil settings do you use?

 

[Andrew Biggs]

I'm just using the standard HB pencil for the initial layout.

Brush size about 10% and opacity is about 72%

Cheers

What more proof could anyone possibly need that this is a very powerful tool for engravers. Well done Andrew!

 

[bildio]

Andrew,

Very nice. I'm sold.

What pen (make/model) are you using? Do you use the Apple pencil?

 

[AliAtiyabi]

It's great Andrew, thanks for sharing, congratulation.

 

[didyoung]

Thanks Andrew
This is going to be a standard tool used by engravers.
I think it will elevate every aspect of engraving.

 

[Brian Marshall]

Yup, just upped the ante a grand or so for those making a living at engraving.

Wonder what the average lifespan of these gadgets is gonna be? (Yeah, I know there will be a new & improved model every 3 weeks or so - but how long will the ones we've GOT last?)

Apple product are well made Brian
you should get a good 4-5 years out of it

 

[Brian Marshall]

You think so Omar? Sam and Andrew are gonna be taking 'em everywhere - and sleeping with them under their pillows!

Wearing out batteries, screen protectors, cables, "pencils" and cases...

[Omar Haltam]

LoL... well i don't know then
that is a different senerio

 

[Crossbolt]

My guess is the next version is going to be set to music with wireless earbuds and you'll get to download scrolls and other elements from the Fruit Box... I mean Apple Store... in between ads that pop up while your designing

I use the Apple pencil. I believe others work as well but I have no idea what they are like.........the Apple pencil works well!!!

Brian.........Yes, that is always the problem with any technology. It wears out eventually and needs replacing. But if the lights go out..........I still have my trusty old pencils and paper as backup

And what do you mean "Sleeping with them under the pillows"...........My God man, the iPad has it's own bedroom with an ensuite!!!!!!!

Cheers

We have a 1st generation iPad (2010) that the grandkids play with. My iPad Air (2013) is still going strong and I use it every day. It's getting a little slower because newer versions of softwares are designed for faster processors, but it's still working perfectly. Abigail has an iPad Mini (2012) that she uses every day without any problems. We've never had one break down. Only upgraded for higher screen resolution and faster processing power.

I'll give up my iPad when you pry my cold dead fingers from it.

Actually I wondered about potential iPad Pro upgrade myself. I have the 12.9" version from April '16... What could they do to make me want to upgrade that? Don't need bigger screen, or faster processor, or more memory. Drawing experience is the best I've seen on any digital device so far. And I've tried many of those, from cheap chinese drawing tablets to Surface Pro, cintiq and quite a few others, I think around 10 different ones, or so. It is a tough act to follow.

Like Sam mentioned, they tend to last very well. My other regular iPad is at least 4-5 years old, still see no reason to upgrade. Though now it is mainly for kids to play with...

I said this some time ago, whether some people like it or not computers the cloud and batteries is the future, a pencil needs sharpening, papers get lost or misplaced, ink gets smeared, its the future, and we're are all witness to it.
