Artflow again
Last week I had tummy ache in the night and couldn’t sleep. While trying to cope with it, I doodled something on Artflow, an Android drawing app. I haven’t used the app for months. Strangely, I found it very easy to draw now. The problem I had with all art programs on the smartphone is the imprecision, the fact that I want to draw from here to here and the strokes goes somewhere else. But not now. What changed?
Somehow I’m now better at drawing. I got out the old stylus Thalía gifted me, had to dig it out of a drawer, but then it was enjoyable to draw.
I’m amazed. Really, what changed? It was always something imprecise and frustrating. It’s not like I’ve been using it for a week and hey, now I improved. So strange.
I’d like to pick up Colors! someday. I want to remember how the experience was. I drew a lot on that program on my old Nintendo DS Lite, a device made for gaming, not for artistic precision. And yet, there’s drawings and paintings I made that I’m proud of.
