Top 30 Most Inspiring iPhone made Artworks..

First, mobile phones started to replace the landlines, then the camera, then the laptop and now the iPhone is even attempting to replace the paintbrush!
While I can’t imagine a time when the artist will reach for his mobile rather than his palette to work, it’s already perfectly possible to produce a veritable masterpiece using nothing more than aniPhone and a carefully selected app, such as Brushes or Sketch Mobile. Take a look at the 30 carefully selected pieces below for an insight into the artistic possibilities of the mobile age.

1. Speed Limit

Stef Kardos is an art director at Disney with a penchant for iPhone finger-painting. This midnight blue number is quite the visual treat.

This abstract masterpiece was made on an iPhone from photos taken on an iPhone.

Few iPhone artists have risen to the dizzy heights of fame reached by Jorge Colombo. His work graced the front cover of the New Yorker in May last year.

Painted using Sketchbook Mobile, this sketchy portrait is a visual feast.

Despite the colours being a little washed out, the look in the subject’s eye and shading in the hair make this portrait more than worthy of inclusion in this list.

15. iPhone Painting (Henrie Tsai)

Quite unlike the other artworks in the list, this one has more of a sketchy style, but shows the wide range of outcomes made possible with theiPhone’s painting apps.

16. What do you Call… (Dionne Hartnett)

A number of processes were required to create this image. The original photo was taken on a Canon before being snapped with the iPhone camera and finally edited on the phone.

What better way to cut through the tedium of a graduation ceremony that to whip out your iPhone and start painting what you see before you? That’s exactly what Anselm23 did!

This rather naïve painting could brighten up anyone’s day.

I can only guess as to what the “Other A” is, but I love pencil-like quality of this piece.

25. Saira (Rubens LP)

I know we’ve already covered Rubens LP above, but I just had to draw your attention to this perfectly sketched bird. The colours are stunning.

26. Fish Painting (Denise Chan)

Another naïve piece – this example goes to show that you don’t have to be the world’s greatest painter to produce something which looks really cool.

27. Monster! (Chris Salt)

Hand drawn in Brushes, this kind of colourful illustration is highly commercial these days.

28. My Third Attempt (J L T)

For a third attempt, this iPhone portrait is a great success.
