Introducing LIVEBRUSH
3 Questions with David:
1. What was your source of Inspiration to create such a awesome application?
David: Though a bit dated now, it started with my site. I wanted to create a tool that inspired unique interaction. But then I got addicted to playing with it as opposed to finishing it. And that’s when I first considered the practical applications of a motion-based drawing tool.
2. Are you going to get the community involved for Future developments of the application?
David: 100% yes, I need people better than me to help keep it alive and fresh.
3. What do you have in store for the Next update of Livebrush?
David: The most significant update so far as been the high-res and vector export features. Beyond those, there are a couple of big ideas that I can’t speak about until I’m 100% sure they’ll work. But I’m also excited about bringing the idea to other platforms, and in the browser. Otherwise, there’s an ever-growing list of internal and user-requested features in the works. Such as: zooming, actionscript export, tool tips, keyboard shortcuts, more dynamic controls, and plugin-like photoshop/illustrator integration. But for now, I’m focusing more on writing content and creating work for livebrush.org
