Sketch Blog

Anyone that knows me or has followed this blog and my Tumblr, knows that I am a HUGE fan of OpenCanvas. I have been using it for years. Finally I got some P&Q and a decent mic and recorded some audio to go with it. There will be a part two but in the meantime I hope you will enjoy the video. I will likely follow up this post with another that is image heavy before coming out with the second vid.

Today I added another 3D asset to Clip Studio Assets, FREE to use for whatever you'd like. I uploaded the urn seen in the image about. I will be making much more as I go.

I run out of storage quickly or I lose the books or worse yet, they get damaged. So I've recently committed to going fully digital. Instead of typing out this blog, I spent more time handwriting it in the app I was was planning to review. Below is said image. I used the grid template and then turned it off on export.

The beauty of making mistakes in apps like this is the vector style eraser and the ability to cut,...

It’s smooth without being too smooth and simple to use. With how natural the writing feels and the use of the zoom feature it makes it even easier to write and use withing a limited space without making it uncomfortable or weird. My only gripe is a lack of pen styles to choose from. With my messy handwriting and the fact that I have a tendency to switch between cursive and print as I write after years of rush rush rush in high school that never left my hand’s memory, there are particular pens that look better, neater and more legible when I write with them such as a standard slanted calligraphy pen.
