Creating a 2D art design on an iPad
1. Be inspired! Inspiration is key for any art project, which is what I actually based my drawing on-inspiration.
2. Sketch ideas. You can see some of my sketches in the slideshow below. Sketching is very important.
3. Decide what tools you will use/need. As you can probably tell, I used many different tools that the app I chose had. The art app that you choose will determine what types of tools you might have. (Personally, I use ArtRage3.)
4. Sketch parts of drawing. After you decide what kind of tools you want (and you can always add more along the way) you should decide if you want any smaller sketches or other things in the drawing.
5. Revise! If you don't like something, revise it!
6. Draw the back (Or maybe middle, then background) layers. For this project I did a middle layer first (the pencil and the colors outline). After that I did the background layer with the background colors, including some final pencil colors.
7. Draw the front layers. It helps to work from the back up, although you may want to outline the color behind sketches on ArtRage3 if you use the bucket feature (like I did).
8. Check up against sketches, if you don't like it better make it look more like the sketches! If your final doesn't look as good as your sketches, no problem! Just revise it a to look a bit more like the sketch!
9. (Revise if necessary.) *Sometimes revision is needed after some of these steps, but sometimes it isn't.
10. Draw details (Smaller drawing inside or outside, revision, etc.)! Details are very, very important!
11. Check. Check it over so far, does it look okay? Do you like it?
12. (Revise if necessary.) *
13. Final details (shadows, lighting, white spaces, etc.)! Sometimes drawings need final details, sometimes they don't, it all depends on what you are drawing you're doing and what you want it to look like!
14. Check final. Check it over, is it what you expected? Are you happy with it?
15. (Revise if necessary.) *
About the Drawing
This drawing's title is 'Inspiration'. I made it to show that to create things in art you need inspiration, and that inspiration can be various, colorful, and flowing. The smaller drawings are mostly OCs (Original Characters) of mine (Fireflower/star is on the top/middle ;3 ). Some of them are just doodles I've done in the past. The wisps clinging to the drawings are symbolical of thoughts, which are necessary for inspiration and art. I drew this on my iPad using my ArtRage3 app, and the dragon in the middle is based off of a Nightwing from the Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland. All credit for the art I did on that app, and the amazing Nightwings goes to them!
What factors prevent or encourage people o take creative risks?
I think that sometimes if something is too hard that people usually do one of two things. They usually either sit down, and give up, or they push though. There are little to no specific factors that help or stop people from taking creative risks. Sometimes factors that might prevent creative risks are things like how expensive a project is, or lack of supplies. Mostly it's just what they have in their heads, what they think they can do (or can't do). One of the only factors that actually prevents people from taking creative risks is self-confidence.
