Anyone know of a decent tutorial for sketching on the iPhone? I know it’s maybe a weird thing to ask, but at $2.99, this app is so reasonably priced, and face it… you carry the iPhone at all times. So, something that sort of walks you through the process of creating a layered image, while demonstrating a use for each of the brush styles… and maybe effective use of the various adjustments to them (thickness, opacity, etc).

I’m not a newb to doodling on paper and drawing in general… but using the digital medium… need guidance.

Thanks

After using brushes to prove my inability to draw,
it was somehow comforting to have sketchbook pro
prove the same thing, only with more style.
Personally I like the versatility of having the device in my
pocket be a sketchpad also. Size is relative
and getting used to drawing on an iPhone
is not that hard.

I’m looking forward to getting the same
resolution in sketches that brushes offers me
when I export to my Mac.

Trying this out right now; my first impressions are that it has a lot of great features but it’s not as responsive (sketching-wise) as I’d like. Granted I’m trying this on a 3G, but other apps I’ve used like Brushes and Layers are much quicker.

as I am not an iPhone owner, then I am probably not the best to comment on this…but…how in the world does a person even start drawing on such a tiny screen?

However, I am an Alias Sketchbook 2010 owner (PC) and I love it to death…sometimes even moreso than PS for illustration purposes since it works wonders with the Wacom tablet.

But yeah…tiny screen = tiny sketch?
