“Trick or Treat!” With the chill in the air and Halloween creeping closer, inspiration is brewing for all sorts of spooky and fun creations. Stores are promoting themed events, communities are planning celebrations. And dear Artists, have you also received commercial orders related to Halloween drawings, sculptures, etc.? Pumpkins, bats, black cats, scarecrows, ghosts and ghouls, all these imagery together create a special atmosphere during the Halloween season. However Halloween themed creations are not an unorganized overlay of all the elements, but rather an aesthetic issue. This is where the creation of the various activities becomes very important.
As creativity flows, you might wonder if your current equipment limits your potential or if distance hinders communication with clients. Imagine having the perfect drawing tool, like a smart board for artists. With it, you can sketch your Halloween masterpiece in unlimited space, vibrant detail, and easy adjustments. It's not just a tool; it's an upgrade to your creative process.
What is a smart board?
Whether you have come across a smart board in your life or not, you can actually think of it as a large laptop or tablet, except that a smart board's screen is several times larger than that of a computer or tablet. Not only does a smart board for drawing allow you to create freely, but its clear drawing quality allows more detail to be seen in your work, making it much more professional. Usually a smart board comes with a Battery-free Pen and a portable removable stand, so you can call up the devices inside to make your creations as perfect as you like on your smart board. And whether you want to be in your study, living room, bedroom, or even kitchen, the removable stand can support you to move your smart board easily.
What can a smart board do for your creations?
Canvas
Smart boards can usually connect to the internet and adapt to a variety of apps, with their own software store as well as access to the Google Play Store.
Firstly, I would like to highly recommend the canvas software that comes with the smart board. When you're out having a drink with friends and suddenly get inspired to create something, but only have a mobile phone or tablet at hand, you can always record those inspirations on your mobile device and later sync them to the smart board's canvas.
And when you're in the studio and ready to focus on your creation, the smart board has a lot to offer. Before creating something, maybe you need to define the general idea first. Sometimes inspiration comes in flashes and is not organized, so you can map out your mindset on canvas. If you don't know where to start, canvas also comes with a wide range of mind map templates for you to choose from. When you want to make a draft before creating, you can open a new page on the canvas, or you can open a half-drawn page. Infinity canvas breaks the boundaries of traditional drawing paper and gives you more creative freedom. You can also customise the thickness and colour of the brushes. In addition, the canvas has a palm eraser function. When you feel your drawing needs to be modified, you don't have to click the ‘Eraser’ button specifically, you can directly wipe the screen with your fist to erase the handwriting you want to delete.
More Software Options
The Smart Board is compatible with several Third-party drawing software. In addition to canvas, you'll also be able to download creative software you're more comfortable using through the app store that comes with your smart board or the Google Play Store. For example, Adobe Express is great for graphic design. You can use it to create posts and covers for different platforms or design promotional materials for events or advertisements. Or when you need something more three-dimensional, such as a 3D signature, or a three-dimensional model - such as a carved pumpkin. Then you can use 3D design software such as Nomad Sculpt. By combining a wide variety of drawing software, you will definitely be able to create more beautiful and excellent Halloween drawings, sculptures, etc.
When creating on the smart board, you can use the EMR-powered, battery-free pen, whose fast response and low latency mimic the feel of a real drawing, and your strokes respond immediately to pressure, creating rich, dynamic lines that bring the drawing to life.
Suppose you need to create Halloween drawings, such as a poster for a dessert restaurant about a limited-time Halloween event, then you have to determine what elements should appear in this one poster. Pumpkin lights are essential. If you want to draw a specially shaped pumpkin lamp and you don't have a particularly good inspiration, you can browse Google Chrome directly on the smartboard. you can look for some example images on the website, or log on to the chatgpt website and let the AI provide you with some sample images to think about. After that, with the smart board's split-screen feature, you can open the website and the Third-party drawing software at the same time and adjust the proportion of each of them on the screen. This way, you can look at the sample images while finding your own inspiration and recreate them on the smartboard in time. Such a free creative experience is difficult to realize on a drawing tool with a limited screen size, such as a tablet.
About communication
When your customers want to discuss and implement changes to the details of the painting with you, but you are difficult to make an appointment to meet at a suitable time due to distance and time constraints, the smart board can well solve this problem. The smart board's canvas supports access from multiple devices, so you can easily share your work. With its camera and microphone, you can jump into Zoom or Microsoft Teams for real-time meetings, improving collaboration with clients. This can greatly improve the efficiency of communication.
Of course, if conditions allow, you can also bring customers to your studio to communicate in person. The smart board has a casting function. If you are more accustomed to painting on a tablet or other drawing tools, you can choose to cast the screen from the tablet to the smart board. A large and high-definition screen allows customers to see every detail of your painting without interrupting your creation. This realizes the unity of painting and communication.
To summarize
A smart board for drawing not only frees up your creative space, but also makes your creative process more systematic and convenient while maintaining the advantages of traditional dwawing tools. You don't need to worry about switching between software, accessing information for your drawings, or communicating with customers.
Smart boards usually come with a Battery-free Pen, but the portable and removable stand mentioned in the text above, as well as a camera and microphone, need to be equipped additionally depending on the situation.
