Right now I just have the free version which only includes one pen and limited colors, but am considering purchasing the additional pens. It seems to draw much better than other things like Penultimate, and the interface is very pretty. No zoom yet though. I drew with my finger, because my stylus has gotten very squishy and draggy at the tip lately (sorry, that sounds gross, I know). To be honest, I haven't found a really satisfactory stylus though. </p> <p><a href="http://www.fiftythree.com/paper" rel="nofollow">http://www.fiftythree.com/paper</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-595077 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 09:50:27 +0000 Mander 595077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good rubric, but what I really want to know is what program that is, and whether you used a stylus of some sort. Most of the programs I've tried have been distinctly un-impressive.</p> <p>I should get back on track with this idea. Lately I have not really been feeling inspired to think about clothes and self-image at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-595073 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 09:38:36 +0000 Mona 595073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diana, this is very new to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594941 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 03:06:30 +0000 fern 594941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun to see your "handwriting" - your rubric is beautiful!<br /> I think it is very interesting to try to strip your style down to a few descriptors - </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594924 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 02:43:58 +0000 Diana 594924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mona, the style rubric is something that Shannon started and several other forum members have picked up on... basically, it's breaking down your style into a few key "elements" that you strive to include in each outfit. Like a shorthand equation for a successful outfit, I guess.</p> <p>I can't actually seem to find Shannon's original thread right now... can someone else please link to it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594814 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 23:55:03 +0000 Mona 594814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I probably missed how this started. but can someone please explain to me what they mean by style rubric? Sounds interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594725 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:39:19 +0000 Meredith1953 594725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely you should hang frame and hang that up! What a great idea to codify your rubric and then put it into such a beautiful and tangible form to look at. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594682 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:30:57 +0000 Anonymous 594682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the rubric for you! And your drawing program is amazing. I was wondering if that was a font or your handwriting. You really should frame it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594600 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 19:05:59 +0000 Heather 594600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, your rubric should be framed as a piece of art! I clicked on it three times! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594587 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:40:36 +0000 Diana 594587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Manidipa! You crack me up. To be fair, that's my iPad handwriting... with a pen and paper, my handwriting is rounder and neater and definitely less scrawly. This drawing program does a better job than the other 2 I have at making it at least somewhat legible.</p> <p>Kelly, I admit I cheated a little by picking kind of broad words. So, yes, contrast encompasses both Urban and Romantic, preferably together. In some ways, I think the broader descriptors are better for this exercise because I don't want to pigeonhole myself into always dressing, for example, neo-Victorian or something like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594537 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:58:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 594537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect and pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594535 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:58:08 +0000 rae 594535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great content, and beautiful form - you can print that one right out and tack it up above your closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594515 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:47:54 +0000 ManidipaM 594515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, even your handwriting follows your rubric (well, mostly, to the extent that letters have waists)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594509 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:42:19 +0000 HelenInCanada 594509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds perfect - and great illustration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594490 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:23:21 +0000 kellygirl 594490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess urban would fall under contrast? Great rubric--it very much sounds like you. Great illustration, btw! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594487 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:20:37 +0000 christieanne 594487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I think about your WIW, that seems right on Diana! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-style-rubric#post-594482 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:16:36 +0000 Diana 594482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, bored at work today so I thought I'd do the style rubric exercise. Also wanted to try out a new drawing program on my ipad so I drew it. </p> <p>In case you can't read it, it says:<br /> arty (whimsical)<br /> unique (one of a kind, creative combos)<br /> waist defining<br /> details (pattern, seaming, cut)<br /> contrast (dark/light, soft/tough) </p>
