Color Portrait by Apple Pencil & Procreate

Original human portrait is a weakness I still have trouble with. Now with iPad + Apple Pencil + Procreate, it's much easier to do trial and error. I don't have to go sit on my desk and set up my Wacom tablet every time I want to do a little sketching.

Lychee Painting with Apple Pencil

After the pencil sketch I next tried to paint in color. Remembering my first Painter lesson, an apple, I picked lychee this time.

My first sketch with Apple Pencil

My sketch does not do it justice, but Apple Pencil really did it! People at Wacom can take all their Intuos Creative Styluses (Styli) off the shelves now, they should not have released them in the first place.

技術寫作心得

久違了。想聊一下關於 technical writer 這個工作。

我 2009 年在採購單位工作，原本想轉換到繪圖相關的工作，卻陰錯陽差在 104 看到自己公司在徵 technical writer。我抱著一種從外車道逐步切入內車道的打算，沒想到就這樣寫了四年，直到公司發現我們這個單位貢獻度太低而被外包出去。寫了四年手冊的我，找不到其他合適的單位，只好再去投靠 104，而來到現在這間比較小，自有品牌的公司，繼續當 writer。

動物素描 2 - 斑斑 (Jan 2014)

這次的動物素描畫的又是斑斑 (沒辦法，點點是黑白貓，用不到什麼顏色)。其實跟上次畫的差不多，重點是這張不是手繪而是電繪，而且是用 iPad 畫的。
