iPhone released their Sketches application this fall that allows users to “sketch” on their Apple devices. Apple advertises the application as a way to keep digital notes on your iPhone or iPod touch simply by drawing on the screen using your fingers. However, Sketches has quickly been picked up by artists and taken to the next level. Today in Art recently wrote a post featuring some of the extraordinary works of art that are being digitally created using the application.

Here were a few of my favorites:

With art going increasingly digital, one has to ask how long real canvas will be the traditional medium? The works above simulate brushstrokes, and if I may say so, do a really good job of it. Do you think that digital art will soon take over traditional methods? Is that a good thing?
