Weekly Snaps

Haha I just realized that most of these are pictures of food. Really really yummy food, can you blame me? 

I did that sketch of the Golden Gate bridge on Sunday when it was the 75th anniversary on my Paper app on the iPad. You can see the full version on my twitter here. 

I'm a little behind on making a June calendar background for you, but will hopefully be back tomorrow with one! 


I hope you have a great weekend!

Rose Ceremony

The season premiere of the newest Bachelorette was on tv last night, and I drew this on the Paper app while watching. If you don't watch the show, at the end of each episode they hand out roses to their choices, hence the rose drawing. 

I'm still experimenting with coloring with Paper. The color palette is very limited and the ability to layer paint is different with each tool. I colored the pencil sketch with the marker and then used watercolor and pencil on top of that in case you are using the app and wanted to know. 

The Bachelor and Bachelorette are the only reality tv shows that I still watch and really love.  I'm always hopeful that they will find true love, but I think most people enjoy the show for the awkwardness and drama haha. 

My favorite picks for Emily so far are Ryan (who does something with sports and children) and Charlie (who was in an accident prior to the show). Did you watch last night?

On Paper

While I was away I started playing with a new iPad app Paper. It's very simplistic, and only has a couple of tools and colors to play with. There are no "layers" and you cannot zoom while drawing. 


All of that is refreshing when you are sketching on the go because it keeps things simple. My favorite tool is the watercolor brush (obviously). 


It's definitely fun to play with, and easy to bring along/use while traveling. This is probably not the last "Paper" sketch you'll see from me :0)


I'm off to work on my Mother's Day card!
