In 2013 I discovered an watercolor painting app called Auryn Ink. It’s a great app for the iPad. It allows near-realistic watercolor paintings on a tablet. It has good simulations of interactions between pigment and water. I’ve painted a few simple zodiac animals with it in 2013 and 2014. Here are some of them, plus a few other paintings.

The whole thing started with a impromptu doodling of a rat at dinner to keep unruly kids occupied. Then a few days later I doodled something that turned out to look like a dog.

That got me thinking. So I doodled a few more at home, thinking that maybe this will turn into the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac.









And, lastly, a scared bunny. Happy Easter.

Some of these paintings have been uploaded to Wikimedia. Maybe one day I’ll write an Wikipedia article on Auryn Ink.

We love your work here at Auryn Ink!
