Intro to Tayasui Sketches Pro App

Article Transcript

Caricature artist Jeremy Drysdale uses the Tayasui Sketches Pro App on the iPad Pro for his live digital caricatures. The primary reason he use this app is because of the Texture/Fill-Tool. It saves him a lot of time when he gets to the coloring phase by allowing him to fill areas quickly and add a variety of shading. Here is his live-digital process from start to finish.

Tools used

• iPad Pro
• Apple Pencil
• Tayasui Sketches Pro App

Steps

1. He begins with a line drawing using the brush pen. Notice the selected tool is red.

2. Next, he uses the fill tool to add the flesh tone. Notice the different opacity and texture options to choose from.

3. The app creates a dotted-line to show the area that will be filled in.

4. When the Apple Pencil is released, the entire area is filled with the color.

5. Next, he adds some shading using the same tool and opacity.

6. The hair and eyes are now filled in with a different color using the same tool.

7. Other fills and textures are also available in the app. He uses this cloth-like texture to fill in the shirt.

8. Now he uses a full opacity white for the eyeball (and teeth if needed) and then adds some reflective spots.
