TL,DR: This is an outline for my next How To Make Your Art Look Nice Tutorial on appeal and interest and this is how I go about the early stages of my tutorials!
Before we get to the outline itself, I think I want to be transparent with how I approach making tutorials becau...

Some sketches, story ideas, and brush experiments! I'm really enjoying how Clip Studio Paint makes sketching so much faster than it needs to be. 2020s nearing a close and I wonder how many sketch pages I can churn out before it ends. Thinking of compiling these for a PDF maybe.

I think I want to give sense to the look of this type of magic that I want to mostly base on water. I also want to bring bubbles/ripples into its look.
For the most part, I want its uses to lie on the manipulation of weight so flight levitation and telekinesis is a common use of it.

A bit of a big one but I was thinking about this the other night (and I talked about this on stream) but I'm not so sure it's explained well through text!
I feel thinking in this sort of matter helps a lot when it comes to pushing shapes. This takes a lot of practice and needs an eye/visual...

In other news, I think my internet has begun to stabilize itself after a few months...

Adding my sketch requests for those who opted in for annual memberships! All done in CSP which I am slowly (but surely) getting used to!
Thanks for the characters everyone!

Some characters I've been thinking about! They'll definitely be going through shape tweaks when I actually get to making this (whenever that'll be haha).

another animation assignment! I know it said lipsync and the post is a gif but i’ll have this go through a feedback phase before posting haha In the meantime though here’s what i’ve been busy on the side with. Just wanting to share here what I’ve been posting in the discord wip channel. 2020-10-18 11:56:29 +0000 UTC View Post
It's easy to fall into drawing the head first but starting out with another element can help with posing problems. Whenever I want to switch up my pose composing, I like to start with either of these four! There are a bunch more though and I feel your drawings follow whatever your start drawing f...

I picked up CSP for my laptop this month when it went on sale (I didn't like the subscription bit of iPad) and these pages were spent trying to figure out how to replicate the feel of my Photoshop brushes. It's not quite there but once I'm confident with them, I hope to release them over at gumro...
2020-10-04 06:20:32 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! It's been a been a bit of a month for me as I feel like I've did some half resting/half working from what I feel could've been from an upcoming burn out from the stuff that's been happening. I noticed I've been drawing much less outside of work other than my sketchbook but even that I don...

Trying to get used to working on CSP so I did this round of requests on it. Still trying to figure out what brushes and settings work for me!
Thanks for the new characters!

Not drawing related but!! Just wanting to go about this small project I did and I feel like I want to have something to return to. I posted these shots over at the discord a bunch of weeks ago but I think only now i want to write about my ~experience with 3D~
Anyway some background: When i ...

I've been a bit busy catching up on some things but I've managed to do something quick over Lightbox Expo's weekend using the shared canvas of Magmastudio which I announced over at the Discord. Thanks to those who passed by and made some drawings! Hoping to do this more as I do enjoy doing this!<...

Misc stuff I've posted over at the discord! Mostly self-indulged stuff here as I still enjoy drawing them and lowkey want to get faster in drawing them. Also trying to draw the other characters in this story.

Some more sketch pages I've finished. I want to be more loose and different with my color choices. I also downloaded some more brushes so perhaps I can play around with those more. I feel like I can pull more inspiration from other artists though. Perhaps something I should always keep in mind. 2020-09-08 09:37:48 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey everyone! Hoping you all have been healthy and safe. It's been another busy month over at my end but I can finally say that I've been doing some character design work for The Owl House. I've been learning a lot these past weeks and I would definitely like to condense and write down my l...

Done on stream! I wanted to try out Kyle's Webster's Photoshop CC screentone brushes but I ended up switching the textures back and forth which was kinda inefficient ahaha.
Thanks for the characters!!

Some stuff I’ve been doing as exercises for a friend’s animation workshops. These two are basically exercises on interaction, one with a character and another with a prop. I realized I don’t do this much and that I really took my time making these. I’ve come to realize that i’ve become ...

Some sketch pages done on my new laptop and it's been a bit of a tough adjustment period coming from the ipad pro! Some of my PS brushes that I've imported into my ipad feels weird coming back tbh!
Also working on a display tablet that isn't the ipad pro+pencil is taking a bit of getting us...

Doing another one of these because it's been a while! This kind of stuff usually just happens in my brain but I thought of writing this stuff down and maybe nail it when making conscious decisions when dealing with pushing shapes/proportions.
Anyhow, I'm a fan of 2020-08-12 03:01:11 +0000 UTC View Post
I've been learning to adjust to working on a computer and again and I've been neglecting uploading my random sketches that have been lying around in Procreate. It's kinda hard to keep thinking about actually saving and backing up these files as they're usually stuff I just sketch.

Oh boy, rewatching this was kinda painful haha. I’ve been chipping away at this in small bursts as I struggled a bit in making this. I don’t do this sort of style/shape language often so I suppose it makes sense the first half of the video was my getting shapes and the composition right.

I’ve been caught up with some exciting work but I’m trying to find some in between time to sketch! Being constantly reminded of how much talent is going around is a real double edged sword! On one hand, you want to push yourself to be better WHILE ON THE OTHER, it feels real daunting!

Something that’s relatively easy to try! I did this when I was playing around RoughAnimator and I decided to make it a bit easier to digest.
I think this is a neat trick in limited animation commonly seen in anime where they don’t really do mouth shapes for specific sounds. For the ...
