Given the recent changes in my ability to visit school, I recently shifted my coloring from paper to digital. Using the app Procreate on my iPad and my Apple pencil I am able to make startlingly precise drawings with an array of tools available to me at my disposal to do so. I watched a few online tutorials to gain an understanding of the basics of the software, before trying my own hand at it.
I’veĀ found this quite helpful for relaxation lately, as coloring takes my mind off the stress of school and allows me to focus on something else to relax in the afternoons. It is also much easier than coloring on paper as I can easily save and come back to my sketches which are all in the same place as opposed to paper which needs to be stored in a proper location and once damaged cannot be restored. It is also helpful in that there are many online resources to aid me in drawing, as well as tools to iron out the creases of drawing in such a way that make it a much more enjoyable and thereafter useful experience
