Dear Sketchfu, I love you! The more that I play around with this web 2.0 tools the more incredible options I see to explore. I have explained the basic tools of how to create in Sketchfu. Some really cool aspects that I discovered after the basics was that sketchfu records what you do, step by step. Once you have saved your image and publish it, people can watch exactly how your started and the process that took you to your final product! This can really help me in my classroom when trying to teach students how to accomplish a certain type of drawing step by step.
Another cool aspect of this type of publishing is that you can allow people to take what you started and add their own aspects to the work having a communal piece of art. You can even disable that aspect so that no one can do anything to your work or use it in any way other than to watch the step by step process.
Once you join sketchfu (it’s free) you can also find groups (or apps) of people who have the same artistic interests as you. If you can’t find an app you like – you can even create your own! It’s supposed to be an area that is an add-on to the sketchfu site where people with the same interests can post their artworks and learn from each other! The example that I show here is an Eye Apps for people who like to create works based of off eyes.
When you create an artwork in Sketchfu it is automatically saved in your gallery and the public gallery. You can also choose to share the image in a variety of ways like email, Facebook, Blogger, etc, you can even Download it!
Now go create your own artwork!!
