Use an Ipad as a drawing tablet on Ubuntu

 

A few days back I decided to quit Windows. I nuked the windows c: drive during installation because I didnt even want to dual boot. And so began the journey to get my usual stuff to work on Ubuntu. 

So on windows I had been using Easy Canvas but that was not available on Linux. A quick search turned up Weylus and heres the installation instructions if your looking for a similar solution.

Step 1
Lets use "wget" in the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) to download the latest version of the program.

    wget https://github.com/H-M-H/Weylus/releases/download/v0.11.2/Weylus_0.11.2_amd64.deb

Once this finishes, proceed with

Step 2
To install it use the following

     sudo apt install ./Weylus_0.11.2_amd64.deb

Step 3
Run the program from apps 

Step 4
Set a passcode and click "Start"

Step 5
use your ipad camera to get the link from the QR code.
This will open a tab in your default browser where you can now remotely view and work on this computer. The Apple Pencil's pressure sensitivity just worked for me. 

The lines are a bit jittery.. so I will keep looking for other software or maybe run Easy Canvas with Wine and give that a shot. Will post updates here.

Spider Mech

 Started my daily doodle live stream on youtube again. This is one of the things from there. A mech sort of inspired by a spider(Yes I know spiders have 8 legs). 

I made it over 3 streaming sessions,
- started with sculpting it in Nomad Sculpt.
- refining and adding details

- painting in npr style using Procreate



Then uploaded it to Sketchfab.

You can see it in 3d and AR here:

Witch Hat Atelier - Fanart

 Just caught up with the latest chapters of the manga Witch Hat Atelier that had been recommended to me by many, including my students. The story is gut wrenchingly good and I can't wait to see what happens next. While I wait, I've been working on some fanart.. character design has always been my weak point, so how better to work on some skills that by basing it off some really original and outstanding characters.
Heres Sasaran. I somehow managed to get the posture and most other details just right.

Heres the 3d model that I am giving away for free

Heres Custas. I couldnt quite capture the beauty and elegance of the original character so will probably try this one again.

Heres a timelapse:
