Mobile Photography & Art Tutorial – iC Painter – Automagic Painting by Jerry Jobe
We are so delighted to publish this bumper tutorial by none other than our brilliant tutorial editor, Jerry Jobe! Read Jobe’s thoughts as he puts iColorama’s sister app, iC Painter through its paces (foreword by Joanne Carter). “I’ve received a lot of requests to cover the iColorama sister apps that break out the painting capabilities of that most flexible of art apps. MetaBrush has layers and brushwork is done manually, which is not one of my strong suits. It would require many tutorials to begin to cover, much like iColorama itself. iC Painter, on the other hand, is an auto-painting program which is deceptively simple, but can yield impressive…

DistressedFX+: a surprisingly worthwhile upgrade
Five years ago I wrote a tutorial on DistressedFX, a texture app to go alongside Stackable’s and Mextures in my library of apps. I couldn’t help but compare it to those giants in texture apps, and although I loved the textures, I found the interface clunky without the versatility of Stackable’s or Mextures. In the intervening years DistressedFX has soldiered on, occasionally releasing new texture packs. But we have recently discovered that Stackable’s has ceased updates, and it is only a matter of time before that app crashes and burns. So I have revisited DistressedFX over the last few weeks, buying several packs that I had bypassed earlier. So, having…

Mobile Photography / Art Tutorial – Creating and Using Reusable Elements with Jerry Jobe
We are delighted to publish Jerry Jobe’s latest mobile photography/art tutorial for our reading and viewing pleasure. Read Jobe’s thoughts about creating and reusing elements in your artwork (foreword by Joanne Carter). Take it away Jerry… Some artists who use photos as a base for their art are capable of capturing everything they want in the frame. That’s wonderful, but some of us find our creative fires burn brighter if we piece elements together in our work. We spend hours masking elements to place them in the exact position we need them. Then we discover that we want to use the same flower or cloud or drawing or face or…

We are delighted to publish this creative tutorial using the app, iColorama to create a spinning vinyl record cover by Jerry Jobe, take a look… “iColorama can do amazing things, with a little patience. I posted the image below in several iColorama Facebook groups, and it got a lot of response, so I’ll show you how to create a 45 RPM single, from scratch, in this great app. This image used the app Over for text and Leonardo for placement onto a background and adding a shadow. Those tasks can be done in iColorama, but they are easier in other, specialised apps. While I don’t add text in the…
