A doodle I made in Adobe Ideas for the iPhone (iTunes). What makes this app different than Brushes, Layers and Sketchbook Mobile? Ideas is vector–based – images can be manipulated on a desktop computer and can be resized to any proportion without sacrificing image quality.
Ideas is a nice app though I found my finger hesitated a lot in trying to choose the right nested tool bar… I had to think twice about how to select different colors, opacity, and brush sizes. I’m still pining for Scribbles (from the guy who makes Tweetie/Twitter for iPhone) to come to the iPhone and iPad. Why? Scribbles is a beautiful Mac vector drawing app with a cool feature… infinite canvas. There’s no edge to the drawing area - which makes sense considering it’s digital and vector graphics have a small file size that can still pack in a lot of detail.
Digital sketchbooks are getting there but they aren’t there yet. Until then, and probably after, I’m sticking with paper, watercolor, brushes, pen and pencil.
