"How are you?" (animated)

2009-02-26T02:23:00.002+02:00

Left this on a friend's Graffiti wall, we haven't spoke in a while.

It seems you can embed an animated replay of your Graffiti drawing. Cool. Hopefully it works without logging in etc. See below:

On a country road

2009-02-22T21:12:00.002+02:00

Did this one in bed before I slept last night. My random margin doodles are often of this "down the road" variety, for some reason. Drawing landscapes is something I enjoy because process of imagining it feels like a trip in itself.

One thing that bothers me while using SketchSwap is that it lags - because it's recording every stroke for the animated replay. It's my slow Internet connection's fault and it's rather frustrating.

Here's what I received in return:

Nice shading.

I left this on a friend's Graffiti wall after she tempted me with this:

this is an old one.

Adobe's CS4

2009-02-20T18:28:00.002+02:00

I've been using Flash CS4 - what an improvement! Animating is much easier, thanks to a workflow resembling After Effects. I just got my hands on Photoshop CS4 as well, and am itching to take it for a drive. The hardware accelerated interface looks to be very useful, and not just a gimmick.

SketchSwap gave me this, which looks like some manly looking Zoë from Sluggy Freelance.

Bald patch checker

I'm getting a bald patch, much like my brothers - we got this from our maternal uncle, because our father still has his lovely white mane.

I don't like going bald. I like my hair's premature greying (also from my mother's side) but not the balding. But I find it's best to forget about such things.
However, for those who prefer to fret, this contraption might come in handy.

SketchSwap gave me this in return:

Where the sketches come from

I'm a big fan of the simple SketchSwap.com - you sketch something, you get a random sketch in return, with animated replay. It's like a sketch version of File Swap.

All the sketches are public material and are randomly stored in Sketchory.com.

On Facebook, the doodling "applications" I've added are Graffiti & Graffiti (pretty much clones) as well as Guess the Sketch Challenge.

What this blog is about

2009-02-20T14:18:00.002+02:00

Welcome to SocialSketch!

I'll use this blog to keep the sketches, doodles, graffiti, and other ephemeral scribbles that I like to draw on various websites.

I'll often post sketches done by others as well (when allowed.)

Sometimes I'll post about something else related to doodling.

I'll try to update as often as I can, but it won't be regular.

So, the best way to follow this blog is to subscribe to its feed. There's a button in the menu.
