Digital Drawing with Paper by Fifty Three



A couple of weeks ago I decided to get an iPad. While I was in the Apple store I played with a few apps they had on their demo machines. A sketchbook app called, "Paper" by Fifty Three, so intrigued me that it was the first program I acquired for my new toy.

Gradually I getting used to it. Today I was at a friend's house. She had a lovely amaryllis in bloom so I suggested we sketch it together. She agreed, as did another friend who was also there. They used regular sketchbooks and I used my iPad. The drawing above is the result.

Later, at home, I couldn't help playing around with the drawing some more. 
I didn't realize how addictive this activity was going to be.
The drawing is probably beyond repair now but I am having so much 
fun learning this new medium that I don't mind the "warts."
Have you tried digital drawing? What do you think? 
How does it complement drawing and painting on real paper?
