O’Neil Hughes says Adobe is excited about who the app will appeal to. But we've never had a focused drawing and painting application", he said. "We've had Photoshop that was largely raster with a little bit of vector, We've had Illustrator, which was largely vector with a little bit of raster. At its heart Fresco is the best of Sketch and Draw with a whole bunch of pro-grade integrations." And it's taken us a couple of years to get here. “But once we saw what the hardware was capable of, and once we saw the input device, we immediately started thinking a lot bigger. But what’s different this time? “They were designed for a world where the iPad didn't have a stylus, and didn't have nearly as much power,” says O’Neil Hughes. It brings something to you that wasn’t there a moment before.It also helps that Adobe has experimented with other apps for the iPad like Adobe Ideas. Those drawings that stick, those images that bring us happiness, perhaps they can even uplift and effect us, there is no list that explains their success except that at any given moment it works for you. And in the next second your mind will change again. Good, bad, successful, failure, first draft, throw all of it in the trash. It is, for lack of a more poetic utterance, what it is.

If that’s the moment when you have to send your art off for publishing, you are likely at the end of the journey. And you look out at the world and the thing you have put into it and at that moment - that moment is all you have. Your taste, your jealousies, your inhibitions and guilt drive you to a new vista. And at any given moment, you flip a coin. Quantum Mechanics tells us that probability is all we have. If you hesitate, if your ponder becomes an eternity there is no drawing to share. I think it can be better, but I could spend a lifetime making changes. And yet.īut where does that leave me? I like a drawing I create, I don’t like it. Opinions on art can be validated but they cannot be proven. And that leads to an unsettling conclusion or a very wise one.it’s all subjective and only change is constant.
