What is the best App for simple sketching and maybe coloring in the drawing?

Hello I am James,
I am brand new to graphic arts. I just purchased a Wacom pro pen & touch medium and my yearly plan to the CC suit of apps. I want to jump right in and get used to the Tablet by doing some simple sketches to get the hand eye thing down. What app should I use?
Thanks for your help,
James

James,
If you DoubleClick the Pencil Tool or the Paintbrush Tool you can see the options. I believe you will wish to have both Keep Selected and Edit Selected Paths unticked for what you describe, but you can try all the possible settings and see what they do.
Help>Illustrator Help can give you some more, and you can make searches of this kind here (shown for Pencil Tool):

    What is the best app for address labels, mail merge and keeping track of customers information?

    Whilst this will work, it's intended for merging information (e.g. producing personally-addressed letters to a list of people).
    If you simply want address labels, open Contacts and then choose which contacts you want (either a group or hold down Cmd and click on those you want - if they're together, click on the first and use Shift when you click on the last). No need to select any if you want all.
    Then press Cmd-P and click on Show Details (at the bottom). Choose Labels (at the right hand side) and choose the size labels you have. You can even adjust the font and colour if you wish.

  • What is the best company for simple archive and storage in the cloud.

    Yes, I moved to iCloud a while ago. Yeah, I realize that time is running out for my items stored on my MobileMe iDisk!! Has anyone found a company that offers cloud archive and storage with good encryption? I am really not interested in sharing of any sort. Once I load it up, I will remove it from my computer. I have no intention on downloading these files to any other computer or iOS device. I will also store it locally on an external device as an additional backup.
    Yes, I know about Box, Drop and the other popular ones, but again, I am don’t want sharing to be the selling point.
    Any help much appreciated.

  • What is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?

    what is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?

    My answer does not have the black Apple logo but the hardearned black belt of (bad) experience.
    There is one problem with TimeMachine. It can get corrupted out of the blue with no warning and it will not want to restore correctly (as an added "bonus" you get to find this out the "hard" way, when you need it most). Plus it takes ages for the data to be copied back, sometimes days. Haven't tried my 600gb backup on Mavericks but Mountain Lion had this knack of breaking Timemachine after a couple of months.
    To back up my entire server is use SuperDuper. It mirrors the drive to an external one (usb for example) The cool thing is you can use that usb drive and start the OS X from it (by holding Alt when you hear the boot chime).
    This way you have a working copy of your entire machine. You can even go to another mac and boot it from there. I literally ran the OS X Server in my company from a usb drive on an old MacBook Pro until i got around to fix the problems with the actual server machine.
    This has saved me twice already as the Hitachi drives Apple uses, tend to die like clockwork after 4000-5000 hours of use with no warning.

    PS. As a sidenote... SSDs are more reliable than a normal HDD (not to mention faster) I can't stress this enough, my Server is on two SSDs now. I can't tell you how stress free the setup is, it doesn't feel like a computer but more like a router, it just works... forever. After two years with SSDs my server has had two days of downtime and their health is at 97%, they will literally last 100 years with normal use. I'd go so far as to recommend you buy an SSD and move your old HDD to an external enclosure and use that as a usb backup. (for SSDs i use Plextor / Lite-On M3s (older) or the M6s (newer))

  • What is the best app for construction project management

    what is the best app for construction project management

    Probably best to search for "project management" in the App Store, there are a tonne of Apps in there for this. Check out some of the ratings and reviews then you can make a reasonably informed decision.

  • What's the best app for taking a video on ipad2?

    I am a tennis coach and am looking for an app for my iPad2 to do video analysis. I need to be able to video someone doing a serve and then show it to them in slow motion and be able to pause it. What's the best app for this?

    Do some research into HTML5 video. Unless the user is using a modern browser with video playback capabilities, they would need to have an app to provide video playback, as well as the codecs for the video file format that you will be serving them. At this point in time, MP4 is the "clear(est)" winner of the online video formats. However not all browsers provide built-in playback. For instance, Firefox currently does not support MP4. Future Firefox builds will rely on whatever video playback the native OS provides. So coming back to your question - no, there's no real way of guaranteeing video playback on the web. You do the best you can and provide links to users where they can download the appropriate codecs and players and call it a day.

  • What's the Best App For Watching Videos on iPad Air?

    Okay, so there's no Flash past, present or future for the iPad.  I read some discussions here in the archives from a year and two ago about which workaround works around best (or least badly).  Is there any update now as of December 2013 for what's the best app for viewing videos online on the iPad (Air)?  Thanks.

    I downloaded the new (2013) version of Photon and it's been playing, appropriately enough, episodes of Star Trek: TAS that otherwise require Flash.   The one thing I have to remember is to click the goofy lighting bolt icon toward the top right-hand corner of the Photon screen when I return to warch an episode if I stopped in the middle.  Basically it will turn off the "Flash" emulation when the screen goes dark with inactivity, and then when you reopen Photon it crashes and you have to re-reopen Photon, click on the link to return to the website, and then click the lightning bolt icon.  I don't know why the producers made it that way, as it's pretty inconvenient, but maybe they wanted to make a browser more than a Flash emulator.  I haven't tried other Flash videos yet, but so far, so good.  :-)

  • What is the best app for storing all passwords in a secure area? osx snow leopard

    What is the best app for storing all passwords in a secure area? osx snow leopard

    Keychain is nice, but I prefer to use 1Password. It's got a nice user interface, and does what I need. It stores passwords, notes, identitiy info, credit card info, application registration numbers, saves hardware information such as your router settings, and more. It also has a secure password generator. There's an extension that keeps a button in the browser toolbar for Safari, etc., so you can submit your info (password, credit card) with the click of a button, and without having to type the information in through the website you are visiting. It also pays attention when you are signing in to a website, and asks you if you want to save the login to 1Password. Once you get them all entered, it's a big timesaver.

    The link above says it is for OS X 10.7 and up, but if you go to the developer's website (link below), it says it works with OS X 10.6 as well. You can also download a 30-day demo from the link below.

  • What's the best APP for remote desktop viewing?

    There are so many ... !
    Also, what's the best app for file sharing between ipad and computer? Thanks!

    Yeah, I guess doing extensive editing with DTG isn't much fun. The only way to get it from DTG to Pages is to email the file from DTG to yourself. DTG lets you email any of its files. Then from the iPad's email, open the file in Pages (when you open the document there will be an "Open in Pages" button on the top right). However, the only way to get it back into DTG is to again email the Pages file back to yourself (as a Word file), open it from your computer, replace the old file with this one and then resync with DTG.
    There's also a bug in DTG's reader which tends to cut off one side of the doc when you scroll thru it. Hopefully DTG will have an update soon. They say it's coming on their app page. I think you'll be much happier with it when that happens.
    Go to App Support from the App page of FileBrowser in the App Store. There on the right of the opening web page you'll see setup instructions for the Mac and Windows XP (the Windows XP instructions work pretty much the same way for everything up to and including Windows 7). That should get you up and running with FileBrowser. It's really pretty easy once you know what to put in those blanks.
    Sorry you're not happy with these. Hope they get to be a better experience for you. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

  • What is the best app for writers?

    I am an aspiring writer. Right now I am writing via pen and paper tracking my life as a journey. Please help me decide on the best apps for an aspiring writer. I write what i know =).
    Thanks in advance

    You already have TexEdit in your Applications folder. It will work if all you want is a digital alternative to pen and paper. If you want to get fancy then you can go to a text editing that offers more options for changing fonts, adding color, adding graphics and / or photos. Although TextEdit is robust for basic text, you might want more of the features just outlined. In that event you might want to download Oracle's open source office  suite (an alternative to Microsoft Office, without the steep price tag because it is free). There is always MS Office for Mac starting at $150.00 for itsStudent & Teacher edition; Apple's offering is iWork at about half the price of MS Office. There are just a couple of ideas. However, you could get started straight away with TextEdit [Home Folder > Applications].
