Re: the little kid painting. . .

It's an right awesome figure, Mr. Ploos. Very convincin' with personality and all. It makes me think you're holdin' out on us, sorta holdin' back like. . .

As to the background, it's very different from the figure, which is okay. You went graphic albeit in perspective so there's depth, but a different kind of depth. Compared to the figure of the kid it's graphic is what I mean and so it gives the whole scene a sort of staged quality. Again, for fans of theater like myself, it works fine, as an idea of place for the actor.

Painters have used this also where part of the picture is rendered and the other part attended to just enough to communicate. This one you did creates a very specific and clear hierarchy of what's important. And that communicates in and of itself. It also gives it a distinct atrsy quality.

I have seen music videos where a figure is spliced into a drawing (and there are infinite variations on that approach). It's expedient. You don't have to render a train station or whatever. All one needs is a kid and the sky's the limit.

One mechanical caution, when you are doing perspective on bricks, you should mind the weight and ratio of your brick surface with the line weight. Practically speaking, the grout or mortar is recessed somewhat and as it vanishes away one sees far less of it until it's invisible. At that point one breaks it up differently like glazing over a few of the bricks to show separation. But even with a very graphic treatment where one doesn't noodle all the details, the line weight should thin as it recedes.

But the kid is brilliant! The rest is interesting in a good way. And I think your explorations are paying off in grand fashion.

I'm not all that familiar with all the ins and outs of the program but couldn't you hit the [Undo] button a time or two to get it back? Generally it steps you backwards through the actions you just did in reverse sequence, and you take it back to the point you had your work. . . At least that's how most programs work.

Eg: The way it is commonly done is: <paint paint paint> <"Now there's a rather sticky wicket, eh wot!"> [Undo X times] <"PHEW! Right then, carry on as ya do. . ."> <paint paint paint>

Not sure what the limits are on your iPad regarding memory and amounts of undo's you have allotted. But you could try it and see. As to the command, there have to be keyboard shortcuts and/or a pull down menu item for it. May want to ask someone if you can't find it.

The [Undo] button has saved more than a couple computers from being launched through the window. It's the artist's best friend.
