Dusted off the iPad and had a shot at getting back on the horse.. 

Long commutes mean I've gotto find a way to be productive on the go.

Still struggling to find my way. Realized that changing brush sizes constantly throughout layer work created a much more intricate piece.

Homage

My favorite piece by Downton. His use of straight and erratic brush strokes to define contours and characters I'd something I've tried.. and failed at a hundred times!

Using a soft edge on the brush gave the piece an aura, but couldn't beat the thick wet brush strokes of the original.

David Downton has been a personal hero since Uni. Phenomenally technical and methodical selection of colours and brushes in his work. Descriptive but simple. I love beautiful simplicity.  

Here I used his pieces to replicate on the IPad. The brush and color selection seemed perfect for SketchPro plus..

Traveling back and forth on the train a lot have me a chance to hot up the iPad again.

Nothing mind blowing here but it showed a huge leap from the last piece worked on.
