Peter Binder A few days ago we informed you about a new iPad TV commercial (article), in which, among other things, the adjective "artful" was assigned to the iPad. Today we will show you some portraits painted on this device.
The portraits were painted by David Newman, who previously started out painting people with pencil and paper at tech events in Silicon Valley. After the iPad went on sale in April, David got one and started drawing portraits on it using Autodesk's SketchBook Pro (editor's note: this app is currently discounted to €3,99 iTunes link) and a stylus that replaces David's regular pencil.
SketchBook Pro is a professional painting application that offers a complete set of artistic tools and an intuitive user interface designed exclusively for iPad users. Turn your iPad into a sketchbook with SketchBook Pro.
The results of David's work are more than impressive. I certainly would not have thought that such a result could be achieved with an iPad and a painting application. This just proves what different activities the iPad can be used for.
In addition, David had his first solo art show last weekend where he presented his portraits. The event took place at iOSDevCamp2010 in San Jose. If you would like to see Mr. Newman's small introduction to SketchBook Pro, please play the following video.

Personally, I have both Sketchbook Pro and Brushes for iPad, and then single-minded Brushes come out victorious. Sketchbook is simply too professional, and even if the interface is intuitive, the simplicity of Brushes won me over.
Otherwise, the Pogo Sketch stylus is a great thing.
Did Jan Zdarsa die? :-(
He's not dead, he's alive ;).
Nice, but they are also denser: (everything is sped up towards the end at 6:20 for those who can't wait)
