Description
This is another example of “phone art“—I created this illustration on a smartphone, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3. The app that I used on the phone was Autodesk’s SketchBook for Galaxy.
During the painting process, I used a variety of brushes, colors, layers, and layer blending modes to help build the final illustration. The background was relatively easy to create with shapes and fills. Overall, this particular project was a little tough because I accidentally chose a file template in SketchBook that had just a few layers—I had to merge layers often.
