Yeah yeah, I know–it’s not Tuesday for a good many of you but it is Tuesday somewhere in the world. Like down under thataway. And Tutorial Tuesday has such a clever ring to it I might decide to make it a regular feature…at least for this week.
So, with no further ado, I bring you this week’s tutorial. Drumroll please…ta da!!! A behind the scenes look at digital painting, how a I created Women in Red # 5 on the iPad.
And my very first adventure with iMovie.
I apologize in advance for the fuzzy text. Apparently it’s an iMovie thing, something I only discovered after redoing this three times, the answer discovered after a midnight search of the interwebs. And yes, the formatting cut off her head–damn you iMovie (shaking fist at sky). Did I mention the dog ate my homework too? What the hell, I’ve been playing with this sucker all day, now it’s late and I’m going to bed.
You get whatcha get…
And in case you don’t remember this Woman in Red and would like to see her with her head–

Women in Red # 5
G’night my sweetums. As I’ve been telling the poor dear (sans her head) up above, I shall remind you as well:

We all are. That’s why I know you’ll talk to me in the comments below. Because it’s been a loooong day and I could use some lovin’ from my besties.

They’re going gray. My ladies are going gray. Just. Like Me. And no, they’re not self-portraits.
They’re a statement.
I’ll be writing more about this later.

Yep, it’s been two weeks of daily digital painting. Two weeks. WOOT! The Women in Red are beginning to take on their own style. Here’s day 14 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge.

There’s a story here, I’m sure of it. Hint: It’s not me riding Lana. As much as I would love to say it is, that’s not the energy I get from this image. What do you think it is? If you have a feeling, opinion or outright certainty, tell us about it in the comments below.
Technical info: Created entirely on an iPad 2 using the Procreate app.
If you would like to purchase a print of this image or any of the other Women in Red, click on the sidebar link and check out my Society 6 store.
I think you need one as an early Valentine’s Day present for yourself. Yes, I do.
Be back tomorrow with another Women in Red.

Twelve days. It’s been twelve days since I began the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge. And I’m still painting Women in Red. On the iPad. Imagine that!

I’m starting to be more comfortable with Procreate. Getting used to the little quirks and crashes. I may or may not explore other apps during this time, just because of learning curves. But I’m open to suggestions and if you have any, please share in the comments below.
See you tomorrow!
