iPad and iPhone Artsy Apps!


Many artists these days are on the run and
 using apps has increased our productivity.
We all have our favorites but seem to return
to the ones we love the best.

Peggi Meyer Graminski & I (Lynne) came up with 
a short list of our favorite art apps to use on 
an iPhone or an iPad. If you have an iPad, 
the iPhone apps do work. 
Not all of them are free  & some have in-app 
purchases but I don't think I've ever spent 
more than $5 for any of these apps. 
So here's our list: 

BeFunky
InstaEffect 
PS Express
MasterFX 
Light Over Pic
Instagram 
PicsArt 
TangledFX 
Glaze 
SuperPhoto 
Mystic 
Snapseed
Pixlromatic 
PhotoForge2 
FilterMania2 
GrungetasticHD 
PaintFx 
Scratch Cam
Photo Toaster 
Laminar PRO 
Photo Wizard 
Brush FX 
Photo FX 

As long as you save your work, you can always 
open it up in another app and add to it. 
Some of these apps allow you to simply hop
from one app to another in their list 
but saving each semi-finished photo 
to your Camera Roll is the best course of action.

The photo at the top was created from scratch
in Master FX then saved & opened again
in Mystic. I might even open it in something else
to add some cool frame later on. If you use your
apps often enough, you know what each one does
so you can just keep adding until you get the
effect that you were hoping for.

I'm sure there are apps for the Android
so go take a look at the app store for
your particular device.

Take a look and have some artistic fun!

The Final Day of the Digital Whisper Blog Hop!

Digital Whisper Blog Hop!

The first art work is by Becky. Becky loves

The second art is by Lynne...
The background image was created
by taking a photo with her iPad's
cover closed so the photo was black.
She opened up an app called WowFX
and applied fireworks to the black
background. Saving the image, she 
opened the fireworks image in an app
called Filter Mania 2 and added more 
effects. Saving that image she then opened
it in and app called Tangled FX which 
made the final effect. 
Transfered to the computer with 
Photo Sync and opened in Photoshop CS6,
the woman was added as a new layer.

Digital Whisper Blog Hop Day Two!

Welcome Day Two of the 
Digital Whisper Blog Hop!

You have reached your destination!

Our offering for the Blog Hop
today is by Lynne, one half of

The image was totally created
in an iPad app called Filter Mania 2.
Lynne & Becky both LOVE apps 
because they afford us the opportunity
to create art wherever we happen to 
be at the time. We believe between the 
two of us, we own most of the art apps
available in the Apple App Store!!
After the image was created Lynne 
transferred it to her computer via 
another app called PhotoSync.

Lynne wanted to make the final image
measure 8 x 10 so it needed a frame.
Creating a new document in 
Photoshop CS6, the transparent 
layer was filled with a pattern (.pat file)
then she imported the main photo as
a new layer. Poof! All done!!
