I love the Sketch Mee app - for it's versatility and the high res output, so I just bought Paint Mee. A new app means revisiting completed artwork whilst I get to know the new effects.
App addict that I am I also bought Kyoobik today too.
Here are a few of the initial results of my experimentation, resized to 960 x 640 for the newer iPhone screen.
I've just altered my phone wallpaper, something warm and cheerful to try to coax the Spring to return...and thought I'd share.
Fluid motion, artista oil and camera+
...only this is for desktops. I did this for me because my screen needed a make over (much as I love Fringe, it was time for a change ;) If anyone else wants one like this in a different size, just let me know.
Wondering what to do with all this wallpaper actually...?
It's a fluid motion image given some texture and resized in PSP - so not pure iArt...
These are images that have all been posted here before, but given the Water my Photo spin. It's a free app and is fun to play with.
I've resized these (approximately) so that they fit the iPhone, well the old ones. Like mine ;) Let me know if they don't fit the #4 & also drop me a note if you'd like these in a different size.
If you do use these as backgrounds or textures, please attribute, thanks.
Here's some wallpaper for your iPad - any future freebies will go out via my mailing list, so sign up using the link on the right if you're interested, thanks.
Right click to save, or press and hold if you're viewing this on your iPad, then go to photo album and click the arrow button in the middle of the top right of the screen and choose 'Use as wallpaper'. The home screen is what you see all of your apps on, the lock screen is what you see when you turn the screen on. (Depending on your settings of course ;)
I need some coloured backgrounds for a project I'm working on at the moment, so have been experimenting with the textures in Photoforge 2 combined with the effects in Photo Studio.
Using Doodle I used the chalk tool to completely cover the work space.
Then I opened the image in Photoforge and added a texture to it. Next I used the various colour tools in photoforge to alter the colour and saved each different colour as I went along.
Finally each colour was loaded into Photo Studio and I added a sparkle frame and a water effect.
(The text watermarking was done with Watermarker.)
Feel free to snag one or as many of these as you want to use as wallpaper on your phone or as a textured background when layering images in iphoneography / digital art. Because I made them with the idea of wallpaper in mind they are small (around 300x400) but they'll do to play with when experimenting with adding texture to an image. Then you can make your own :)
Let me know if you use any...and if you do use them as textures or backgrounds I'd love to see what you create.
