I watched a few videos that showcased Rana Sobhany, the World’s First iPad DJ – and her efforts at iPadDevCamp. The great portrait of her in action shown above was – fittingly – done on an iPad, by David Newman.
David is obviously finding the iPad a pretty great tool for his portraits work.
This is one of many portraits that David created at the recent Google I/O event – where he caught the eye of Robert Scoble, who posted this cool video which is where I discovered David’s work.
Here is a little more background that David was kind enough to provide:
As a former courtroom artist in San Francisco, I have been painting and drawing all my life, focusing mostly on portraiture.
I have worked with pen and ink, and later brush and ink, for decades. My Pentel black color brushes have served me well since 1988.
I started painting with tablet-based computer graphics systems in 1982, and made my first MacPaint painting in January 1984. I started using Fractal Painter with a Wacom tablet in 1994, and Photoshop shortly afterwards.
I used Sketchbook Pro for iPad to create these portraits, and soon will be exploring Layers Pro.
