Temporarily FREE App–Font Art

For 3 days only, you’ll be able to download Font Art. 

I tried out the app on a few of my images.  It’s easy to use and includes over 127 font variations!  You can change the color, opacity, add a drop shadow or bevel and even rotate the font.

 

Below is a painting I did on my iPad using.  This is not a manipulated image, but a panting done from scratch using Sketch Club.  I referenced a photo from Instagram user @alainvincent.  When he gave me permission to sketch the portrait I asked him who was featured in the photo and he answered, “my beloved son”. 

And here is an image I captured while running errands this week.

A great old Chevrolet Bel Air I saw on my walk yesterday.

I saw my reflection in our front loading washing machine and thought this would make an interesting photo.

I snagged this shot of the man next to me at Subway yesterday.

On the boardwalk in Santa Monica.  This was created from two photos.  The image of the blurred background figures was shot in SlowShutter.  The foreground people were shot with ProCamera. I then combined the images in Sketch Club using layers and made the foreground figures slightly transparent to give the feeling of movement.

And now for one of today’s FREE apps.  Here’s Kyoobik Photo by JixiPix Software.

I didn’t have a lot of time to experiment with this, but I ran the photo of the Bel Air (above) through a couple of the settings – results below.

Favorite shot of the day–Twins?

Whole Foods grocery store provided the setting for today’s photos.  I took a lot of the fresh produce and flowers, but my favorite shot of the day was created by layering two successive images using the Sketch Club app.  I layered one on top of the other and erased part of the top image to let the bottom image show through.

After combining the two layers, I added a textured layer using the “hue” blending mode and got the result below.

App Recipe – Sketch Club

The Journey Within

This piece began as a series of swirls created with Flowpaper.  I really didn’t know where I was going when I began, but it started to tell me a story and this is the final result.

Here is what I started with – swirls created in Flowpaper and blended in Sketch Club.

Here is the “recipe” of the apps I used in the order I used them:
Flowpaper to create to separate swirled designs
Procreate for smudging the Flowpaper design
Sketch Club for blending to Flowpaper designs
AutoPainterII Chalk Setting
FilterMania 2 – to add the water drops and intensify
Tiny Planets to get the swirled effect (tunnel setting)
Perfect Photo for saturation and sharpening
Percolator
Sketch Club for blending a combination of the images resulting from the above apps.  I layed .  I also added the text in this app.
Crop’n’Frame for framing
I really like several of the intermediate results including after FilterMania 2
