Still Life for a Good Year (Digital Drawing)



I recently posted a drawing video that I made on my iPad. This is just a little still life for Rosh Hashana. I used the "Procreate" program, which captures a  stroke-by-stroke video as you draw, and also makes the final frame of your video a jpeg of thw drawing. But the final frame is usually a little rough, and it was in this case. So to make the image you see here, I shared the jpeg to the iCloud, opened it in the Painter program on my computer. Then I cleaned up the image with digital pastel, and straightened out the lettering.  Now I can use the image to wish everyone a sweet year ahead.

Still Life For A Good Year (Drawing Video)





Still Life for a Good Year (Drawing Video):  

Watch this drawing video

I made this  little animation this morning using Procreate on my iPad.  It's a little early but I had so much trouble getting this to post that I am gonna leave it here now.*  I also realize that I have drawn something similar a few years ago.  But then, there's nothing new about Rosh Hashana. And this time, there are pomegranates. 
Sending this out to wish those celebrating L'Shana Tova, and to wish everyone a sweet year ahead.

*I couldn't get it to post directly to Blogger, but you can follow the link above to see it.
