Cuenca Science Museum from Alfonso Vlll Street by la legra negra

Over the last several months I’ve been continually astounded at the wonderful art being produced on iPhones, and have been discovering more and more amazingly talented artists who are embracing the medium.  One of my top, top favorites is la legra negra, or José Andrés Guijarro Ponce.

The image above is just one recent example of the many, many iPhone works of his that I love.  This one has caught my attention because the image itself is striking, and also because José Andrés has provided a brilliant four-step tutorial on how he produced it.

Even as a guy who can make a stick figure look bad, I find it fascinating to learn about the techniques used to produce such incredible images on a smartphone device.  José Andrés takes us from Step 1 and quick sketch stage …

To the final step with details being added and merging of layers …

If you enjoy great iPhone art, just plain great art, and would like a little behind the scenes insight on how some of this loveliness is produced, you should take some time to visit José Andrés’ Flickr photostream – HERE – and soak up the images and the insight. :)
