Using the Perspective Tool in Clip Studio Paint

December 27, 2018 in VIDEOS

VIDEOS-Using the Perspective Tool in Clip Studio Paint

Perspective can be a bit time consuming when drawing.  There are some ways to make it easier using digital tools.  Sometimes you create your own method of handling it while some programs actually have perspective tools to use.

Clipstudio Paint has a perspective tool but it can be a bit tricky to understand at first.  Once you get used to it, it’s very helpful.  But at first it can be frustrating.

I’ve decided to create a video explaining how to tool works.  What’s good about it, and what’s not.  I hope is that it will help you use it so you can do your art.

Sketchbook Tour 04

December 20, 2018 in ART, VIDEOS

ART/VIDEO – Sketchbook Tour 04

Once I got over the first breakthrough art hump, my sketchbook drawings began to look a more consistent.  Not everything is great.  However the exploration in drawing began taking shape and something experiments produced some interesting results.

In this sketchbook tour you’ll find a lot of experimenting with exaggeration.  You’ll see me design and develop some interesting comic ideas, as well as the origin of my Black Terror Kid comic.

I also draw some fellow artists in it and draw their original characters. The link to the artist are below.

I hope you enjoy this tour as much as I enjoyed looking through it.

Sell Your Soul: How to Build Your Creative Career Book Review

December 7, 2018 in ART, BOOKS

ART/BOOK – Sell Your Soul: How to Build Your Creative Career Book Review

It’s one thing to know that you can make a living as an artist.  It’s another to actually try to do it, by getting a job in some company.

On top of that, it’s another problem if you want to make a living as an independent artist.  This later problem is what the book I’m reviewing in this video is all about.

If you don’t want to work in a company and want to go completely independent, then watch this video.  The book I’m going to review is full of practical tips on how to go do it.
