IC Painter
I cut this from the IC Facebook page for anyone interested in knowing how it works:
The new iPad app is now available at App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/…/ic-painter-auto-pa…/id1207445483…
All my images during this week with exception of yesterday images were made using it.
This was intended to be released as a beta (just few days work), but Apple released the public version..so it is free for next days...
Any question just ask in this post!
My usual strategy are:
- Combine different level of details: start with high detail and move the slider to paint low detail or viceversa before you tap (how many time it paints per tap is controlled in Steps)
Too high detail all the time may in some case not be so good..try to combine both levels so strokes are seen. Also use value about 50 in Steps so you have chance to change the sliders)
- You can tap as many times you like, but with each tap the strokes will be smaller..(i will let you control the size in next version)
- Also setting low detail in the slider, but "detail on" in face (just set the switch on)..it works ok in 70% of the cases (Apple lib detects the face most of the time) it is also a way to combine low detail (outside the face) and high details (in any face)
- Don't use the "exact mode" switch until the strokes are small
- Combine image orientation and free orientation (use the orientation switch)..when I do sometimes I move the opacity slider otherwise I don't touch it.
- Sometimes when I finish an image in autopainter I reopen the finished image and run it again..
Finally using iColorama:
- Before auto painter I use sometimes painterly, lighten or simplify..even triangles and textures!
- When I'm finish with autopaint I use Sketch 3 from original image and blend with autopaint result.
- Match for final colors..
- It is also Ok to save different versions and blend/mask in iColorama.
or using Metabrush:
- Textured brush for the part with similar colors etc..
in general use as you like! Just have fun and please share your results!
With next version (that I'm submitting today) you will be able to select brushes (+ as usually import your owns) and also control the size of the brush, but for now just test it and have fun! (combine with iC & MB)
