iPad Pro news update: Iconic 'Stranger Things' poster created on iPad Pro
Apple's iPad Pro may have been originally created for mere entertainment consumption since its market debut. However, the device has undergone a series of technological makeovers to make it a convenient tool for content creation.
This time, iPad Pro has evolved to push the boundaries of creative pursuits with its diverse assortment of digital tools. Recently, U.S.-based artist Kyle Lambert offered a testament to the device's usefulness when he revealed in a recent interview with Mashable that he used iPad Pro to sketch the poster of Netflix's sci-fi web series "Stranger Things." He said that with the use of Apple Pencil, he was able to draw his brilliant sketch on the tablet.
"I used the iPad Pro to do the preliminary composition ideas and the sketch that became the final Stranger Things poster. I chose to use the iPad Pro for the drawing stage of the poster because I find that I am able to sketch in a very natural way on the device using the Apple Pencil," said Lambert, as quoted in a recent interview with Mashable.
"Stranger Things" is a creative mash-up of various conspiracy theory-inspired plots set in 1983 Indiana that includes secret government experiments, Cold War-related tensions, telekinesis and mirror worlds. Overall, the Netflix original is a tribute to Hollywood legends like John Carpenter, Stephen King and Steven Spielberg.
Designing the poster came as a daunting challenge for Lambert at first. With only a vague plot outline to work on, the American artist managed to create a piece based on rough cuts and still images from selected scenes. With overwhelming positive reviews from critics and fans alike, his poster creation has become iconic.
This is not the first time Lambert made headlines for doing his craft using Apple devices like iPads and MacBooks. Some of his works include visual pieces for art projects commissioned by big companies. He was also known for his remarkable "photorealistic image" rendition of Hollywood actor Morgan Freeman using iPad air and "Toy Story 3" drawing using iPad's old Brushes app.
