Trees and walls, drawings vs Ipad renderings


Above is a detailed charcoal drawing of a tree, finished today. I've looked at this tree many times over the past three years, wanting to do a painting of it. I hope to start the painting tomorrow.

Below is an earlier phase of the drawing.





Above is a photo of an Ipad "Paint" rendering of the same tree, done with my finger. Just starting to learn the ups and downs of the this tool.

Below is an earlier comparison sketch of a wall on the farm The black and white is a photo of an Ipad rendering, and the sepia drawing is done with a home-made feather quill and ink. The jury is still out on the Ipad for drawing, in my opinion, but it's starting to win me over. It's very convenient: small, easily transported, and very neat (no charcoal smudges on the clothes and face, and no ink spills, etc.) 

We'll see.
