You will always miss more when you are digitally graphically recording than when you are doing it on paper. You’ll miss more than you are used to, especially at first, but always.
Record it as it plays, then play it again and just look at your recording while you listen. Next, go to TED.com or find a podcast or a news channel or something that you can listen to and record. Instead, look at a copy of the chart and recreate it on a blank screen. I don’t recommend tracing a photo, because you won’t really understand how your app handles scale if you do that. Notice what you can and can’t recreate, adjust your brushes and colors, and get comfortable with your own style - up to 3 hours. This will teach you more about how your app works than almost anything else. Find a photo of a chart you’ve done that you like.This is not the most valuable practice activity, so don’t spend the bulk of your time here. Write your name, draw some icons or people, practice the stuff that makes your work yours - about 15 minutes.Take time to mess with the settings until you understand how they work - up to 30 minutes. Here’s a practice regime that I use when testing a new drawing app: See where a little practice will get you? … And this is a few years later, in 2014. It will take a while to get the hang of zooming in to write and zooming back out to check sizing, of switching pens and colors, of working with the layers. Set aside 2-6 hours to practice.Īnd you can guess which end of that scale I’d rather you were on, right? The more you practice, the calmer you will be the calmer you are, the better your work will be. There are no layer police and you will be fine. Just make a new layer, drag it to the bottom of the stack, and start using that for your pastels or colors as needed. Don’t stress when you do notice, and don’t undo a lot of writing. It’s harder to notice when you start writing on your pastel or color layer. If it’s the pastel on the outline layer, it’s immediately obvious and you can hit ‘undo’ and fix it. You will mix up the layers at some point and put your outlines on your pastel layer or vice versa. Concepts allows you to assign a brush to a particular layer, which helps make sure I don’t mix them up, but I still manage to do it sometimes. I also have white in my palette, but I use it rarely, and sometimes I include a yellow for glow and highlight effects. Sometimes I swap in another color for the two blues for different recordings. My most basic palette has black, a pastel blue, a pastel grey, a bright blue, and red.

Zoom in to a comfortable level for writing, note where the upright is, tap undo to get rid of it, and start writing where it was, at the scale that it was.
AUTODESK GRAPHIC IPAD PRO
Pro tip for neat lettering: With the canvas at 100% zoom (that is, fully zoomed out so you can see the whole page), make a mark like the upright of a capital letter (like P or R or I or D) at the scale (size) you want to write in. Switch between a large and small pen size for your single lettering brush). If you want to do solid titles rather than outline &įill, you will also want a larger brush for the titles (or know how to quickly The numbers are the size in pixels (2.5 for the outline, 19.7 for the eraser, 10 for the pastel, and 7.4 for the color fill). My eraser is usually sized in between the two solid brush sizes. I use a small solid brush for most of my lines and letters a larger solid brush for color fills and a slightly larger watercolor brush for shadows and pastel effects. There is a little more detail to each of those steps, of course.
