Who are the leading artists using iPads to create innovative work? Check out this article, Digital Artists Create Masterpieces by Alex Thomas to see some of their work, created by touch.

“Finger painting is no longer just for kids. There is a growing community of online artists who use the iPad and iPhone to create exciting and vibrant artwork using just their fingers.
Thanks to programs like Brushes and SketchBook Pro, there’s also an ever-growing community of ‘finger painters’ on social networking sites such as Flickr and Facebook, where they upload artwork straight from their iPads or iPhones to share with the world. You can even see videos of how they have put the paintings together.

Meanwhile, professional painters and illustrators – such as renowned British artist David Hockney and comic-book legend Jim Lee – are joining in the fun by using the iPad and iPhone to create fantastic works of art and sharing them with friends and fans. Even highbrow US magazine The New Yorker featured a cover painting, created on the iPhone, by illustrator Jorge Colombo.”
