The classic geometric procedural drawing app still runs on my old iPad 2, but it no longer saves edits, so yeah, functionally kaput. Nor can I reinstall it, as it has left the <strong>App Store<\/strong>. <br><br>It was a simple but powerful drawing app. It had no layers, no color picker was low resolution, and didn&#8217;t have many brushes. What it did have was very intuitive blending modes. Any brush could be in any mode, which meant that &#8216;happy accidents&#8217; were easy to come by. For example, triangles or half-circles with full opacity in difference mode created wild color combinations; you could draw with abandon and undo what didn&#8217;t work.<br><br>Here&#8217;s an example of a pure <strong>Omnisketch<\/strong> image using the above techniques. Many more examples are <a href=\"https:\/\/trubright.com\/gallery\/groboto-folio\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trubright.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Omni_31222-e1710189853720.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/trubright.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Omni_31222-e1710189853720.jpg\" alt=\"Omnisketch\" class=\"wp-image-1580\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I could get amazing complexity with only one layer using geometric brushes of various sizes, opacity and blending modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/procreate.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Procr<\/strong>eate<\/a>, of course, the most likely suspect in the death of my old friend. It has everything that <strong>Omnisketch<\/strong> lacked and so much more. High resolution, layers, endless undo, color pickers, brushes (and a powerful brush creation engine) and more. All that power comes at a price, (but not in dollars, it&#8217;s very reasonable) which is a learning curve. I&#8217;m getting better and doing abstracts and landscapes, but it takes a lot longer. I have made a bunch of brushes I&#8217;ve made that sort of emulate <strong>Omnisketch:<\/strong> triangles, circles, lines, etc. and I can assign blending modes within the brushes, which is amazing. But for all that, it&#8217;s harder to get into the state of flow that I did with OS. But there&#8217;s no going back.
