The Friday Cool: Jim Lee paints Wonder Woman with iPad
One of my favorite comics artists from when I was a teenager does a little doodling with Sketchbook Pro on the iPad.
I’ve gotten a painter app or two for my iPad and iPhone and I’m not real impressed by it.
I’m no painter, but I just don’t feel the same kind of control over the medium. Using my stubby fingers on a non-pressure sensitive piece of glass just feels awkward.
And I’ve tried a Pogo stick, but the one I have is incredibly crappy. So bad that I must have a bad one. But I’m not willing to go buy another one just to see.
My main motivation for purchasing an art program for iPad would be to study the use and manipulation of color, something that I have very little understanding of right now.
Other than that, with the current tools available, I can’t see having the patience to WRITE a comic on the iPad, let alone drawing one!
But I’d love to have that change.

the iPad loves comics (and I love the iPad)
Over at The Daily Cross Hatch, Brian Heater took a look at what the iPad might mean for comics.
I’m not suggesting that print comics and comic shops are going away any time soon, of course. They’re not. I am, however, suggesting that this is the time to (to quote Mr. McCloud again) re-invent comics. And the iPad and its ilk will almost certainly serve as a primary conduit toward such innovation—if not through the App Store, through the Internet itself. Do not forget, after all, Web browsing is one of the device’s strongest suits.
Sounds good to me.
