Sketching on my Nintendo DS
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Check out this video:
This was done on my Nintendo DS thanks to about $30 spent on a little homebrew enabling card and a very cool homebrew app. I doodled this while watching Lost. I drew it using Colors www.collectingsmiles.com/colors/ and exported as an AVI using Colors Draw masscat.afraid.org/ninds/colors_ds.php. It’s like having a very small, inexpensive Cintiq tablet in my pocket as a portable digital sketch book. The coolest thing is that it creates a movie of your sketching, so you can do things like export the file above and share it on Flickr. Not to mention being able to take a screenshot of any moment in the file’s creation as a different picture. Really amazing.
Stay tuned. New comic at 12:01am, continuing on the story of the current comic.
UPDATE: For some reason Flickr cut the video short. Here’s the full video on Seesmic:
UPDATE: Tom the SkyGuy over on Seesmic asked how I recorded the sketch video, so I answered him in this video, which seems to be a natural partner to this post. Enjoy:
