I absolutely love drawing with chalk…with one exception. The dust. No matter how hard I try I still manage to get it everywhere and it makes me sneeze constantly. So I was so pleased to learn I could create the same look with my iPad. I have purchased several different chalk brush sets and they are amazing but for today I chose to use a few of my own.<\/p>\n
I just love that I can almost hear the sound of the chalk scraping on the board and smell the distinct chalk smell while creating these pieces. Even better that I am not sneezing every 30 seconds. This method of drawing is very soothing to me. My favorite part is the shadows that look like I took a q-tip and wet the chalkboard to create the shadow.<\/p>\n
