After Math : character design

Just a character I wanted to get out of my head a month ago, i was thinking what if WW3 and the world manufacture ended cause of most of the economy has fallen and countries were destroyed but people still need to defend them self, some can not get their hands on proper equipment so they used what ever they get in their hands.

AutoDesk Sketch Book Pro

Autodesk Sketchbook Pro Android for Galaxy note!
yes! FOR galaxy note! there is a different version of Sketchbook Pro for Galaxy Note and Tab, the ones that Support Spen, 1st will start off with why this baby is sooooo damn good!



1- a nice pop up menu when you press the small circle at the bottom of the screen, it gives you save, share, transform tool, symmetry tool, line style, brush options and layers on the top bar.

the brush opacity and size can be controlled by the brush properties in the middle of the screen where you simply press and hold in the middle and if you go left or right it control the brush size, up and down controls the opacity.

you have the fit screen option on the top right and clean layer on the top left, undo and redo on the bottom sides of the screen.






2- cool brush varieties and customization engine that it has, it gives you a good wide choice of brushes that you can use for sketching, rendering and bringing out a high quality work for your Note or Tab lets say technically you will have a Wacom Centiqu in your Pocket or Backpack without the need of a laptop! a digital Sketchbook you can take with you on the go!












as for the color wheel we have the basic color wheel where we see in every illustration software and the HSB controls, color picker but! if you click on the circle of colors on the top left of the screen it will shift you to hue and saturation mode of colors, a simple color table which is very useful! and if you click it again! the eye candy comes!

scroll down please.

here is the eye candy! a set of copic markers! you have totally what you need in your pocket on the go enjoying your artistic expression with those babies! yeah! and if you click on the color you will notice information will pop up at the button window and it will tell you the name of the color with its number and also the complementary of it! Copic and Autodesk does it again!









3- in the preferences you have Pen Mode showing up after you use the pen on the screen, this mode will allow you to draw only using the pen! your hand will control the menu normally but drawing will only happen using the pen! cool ha! no more jumping lines! ( this is the option i talked about that comes only for Galaxy Note and Tab! it is designed for it! for an artist! how cool is that!











4- the last I will say that the layer option is cool where you have few blending options that you can have for your daily use! and it export as Tiff ( Sketchbook pro ) PSD ( Photoshop ) JPEG and PNG













Thank you very much! I hope that was useful for you!

Sketch book pro on Galaxy note 2

I started Using Galaxy note 2 with Spen ( which comes with it of course ) this piece of tool is just too epic to a digital artist, and it can turn into the ultimate tool in the hands of autodesk sketch book users who uses the PC ver of it as well, what you need to do is to download dropsync software on you Note2 and sync your autodesk sketchbook pro file with your PC so every time you save a file on your phone it will update to your pc and every time you save on the pc it updates to you phone, and you can also hack the resolution size limitation by increasing the file size using Sketchbook pro on PC. it is simply epic! and if you have galaxy tab 10.1 you can use that as well, I have never used cintiqu wacom before but for now this Galaxy note is more than enough for me and if i want to get a tablet i will get the samsung one for sure! 

here is a review by the awesome I-Wei Huang AKA Crabfu  ( lead artist on spiro and skylander)

and how to fix sensitivity problem if you have it in your Spen, I followed his tips and it worked to the letter!


visit his blog! he makes awesome freaking toys and steampunk stuff that actually works! he is a maaaaad! scientist!
