ArtRage for iPad Demo at CES 2011
ArtRage is showing off its painting applications at CES. While the best I can manage to draw on an iPad is something that resembles a first grader’s finger painting, some artists can create some really good looking stuff.
Here’s a photo of ArtRage for iPad in action at CES 2011. As I watched the artist creat this portrait I was really impressed by the level of control he had with the paintbrush he was using as a stylus.

“It’s like we said on the iPad, if you see a stylus, they blew it. ”
(Steve Jobs)
Expect Apple will be disallowing ArtRage any moment, LOL.
Relax, just humor…

How does the paintbrush work? Is it some kind of modified stylus?

it’s not a real paintbrush. The tip seems to consist of bass hairs or some other conductive material, forming a brush, and the grip has to be conductive too.
And in the end you still get a fat imprecise conductive pen, resulting in such awkward looking portraits shown in the post above.
Better buy a tablet PC (like the ASUS EP121) with a proper pressure sensitive highly precise Wacom pen and useful software, not just apps.

I think I just found the above used paintbrush: ‘Nomad Brush’

I have a wacom, but it’d be nice to get something decent for the iPad (I know, with the capacitance screen, not likely).

And to do it they needed what……
A stylus.
So, according to Steve Jobs – they failed.
We’ll see if apple invents the stylus for ipad gen II.
But honestly I think that will just be the cameras update suppressed from round one for the upsell ability on gen II.
I think it will be gen III or so before apple invents the stylus.
