While doomscrolling on Twitter last year, I came across a tweet that instantly made me want to purchase something online. https://twitter.com/kohquette/status/1202731986982359040?s=21 That, my friends, is the 8BitDo Zero controller. When I saw how the controller was adapted for short cut keys for Clip Studio Paint, I thought, "I have to to have this NOW." I... Continue Reading →
https://www.instagram.com/p/CEccO1rjBbR/?igshid=1jxpsbxlr24qt Piggybacking on my previous post about Adobe Capture, I've also been using the program to create quick patterns for multiple projects. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6rSIoxD0Q7/?igshid=1g5ikxluk0xwz Adobe has a pattern option in the camera/image import. I like using it sparingly because it has limitations on the quality produced. The color vector patterns are splotchy; the bitmap patterns are... Continue Reading →
“As Above So Below” created in Fresco with adjustments and gradients added later in Photoshop (desktop). In digital drawing apps, I might be one of the few that prefers Adobe Fresco over Procreate. While I enjoy Procreate, I find myself using Fresco more for its simplicity. Fresco was initially called "Project Gemini" and combined the... Continue Reading →
I said I would update everybody about the Short Story Contest hosted by Webtoon. I committed to the project back in March when it was first announced. Now that it is the end of June and the contest wrapped up, here are my thoughts on the whole process. To read the comic I submitted, Man... Continue Reading →
I made a pandemic purchase: a 13” Wacom Cintiq pen display. It’s used, I couldn’t afford it new. I mostly still use my iPad to make drawings, but I did use a tablet whenever I worked on my desktop. In the history of tablets I’ve owned, they have been mostly basic. The one above was... Continue Reading →
Every year it sneaks up on me... INKTOBER! Last year I did awesome. I actually completed all the challenge prompts. Did I do it well? Debatable. But I did push myself to make a daily practice. Inktober usually comes at the perfect time when I feel complacent in my studio practice. The daily challenges give... Continue Reading →
ETA: this post got away from me. I should have published it months ago, but got busy behind the scenes with other projects. I am working on a secret project. In the mean time I have been working on designing characters and creatures said project. Creature designs are a new endeavor for me. I don't... Continue Reading →
I've been mostly working with digital these days. I've always dabble in digital painting, even as a young high schooler (so, so many years ago). Now that I've invested in a tablet that can work with the Apple Pencil and use the art programs, it's been a fun return to focus mainly on digital drawing... Continue Reading →
Remember when I was working on a new painting for the Venus Show? I sent it off earlier this week! The show opens this Saturday at La Bodega. I'm excited to participate in the exhibition with so many talented artists. I did not photograph the process very much towards the last half. I was worried... Continue Reading →
I seem to do this thing where I let an upcoming art exhibition I've been invited to sneak up on me and then I have to hustle in order to get things done. Luckily I got my iPad recently and needed another opportunity to learn Clip Studio Paint. CSP is available as the full version... Continue Reading →
