Crappy PDA doodles

December 5, 2009 at 12:00 am (PT) in Art

Doodles I drew on various Sony CLIÉ handhelds from 2001–2003. Like all other Palm OS devices, they used resistive touchscreens that lacked any kind of pressure-sensitivity, and the digitizers in the touchscreens were somewhat noisy, so hand-drawn lines ended up with a shaky appearance.

I made the first image with TealPaint (which at the time supported only the traditional Palm OS resolution of 160×160 and not the 320×320 resolution of the CLIÉ devices). I made the rest with MemoRu!.

    no pressure sensitivity but people pull off impressive stuff.

    i imagine the pre has similar stuff.

  2. Shit, that’s pretty good. I remember blaming teal paint for my drawing deficiencies.
