Procreate Tests

Drawing Fluid Poses (Part 1)

Throughout the years, a problem I've consistently dealt with in my artistic journey has been trying to balance style and anatomy. When I was younger, I often felt like I had to over-compensate for one when the other was lacking, and more often than not I would try to use references to make sure my anatomy was solid to make up for the lack of stylization. This was a good strategy at the time and...

Timesaver Resources for Webcomics (CSP)

If you've ever read or worked on a comic before, you know that they involve a lot of "inconvenient" drawing - lots of backgrounds, crowd shots, detailed objects, and other complex things that probably made the artist groan at the thought of them. And if they had to draw that same thing 10 times from different angles? That's the worst! Thankfully, there are lots of tools at an artist's disposal ...

Creating Custom Textures in Clip Studio Paint

Recently I posted one of my personal noise texture overlays for download on Patreon and the Clip Studio asset store. Since then I've had a few people ask me how I made the texture and if I had any tips, so I figured I would make a guide breaking down how you can easily create your own in Clip Studio Paint.

Using Default Assets

One of the easiest and most customizable ways to make ...

New Guide Suggestions

I'm reopening suggestions for future CSP or general art guides on this page! Since so many people are going to be at home for a while I'd like to make more guides available than I would've otherwise, so any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

If there's anything you'd like to see a guide for, let me know in the commments on this post!

Choosing Color Palettes for Your Art: Using Colors from Reference

Color is my favorite part of making art, and I often find myself getting a lot of color inspiration from things around me. I have a massive folder of color reference on my computer that I constantly update whenever I come across a piece of art or photography that inspires me, and if I'm not sure what colors I want to use in a piece I tend to go to that folder for ideas.

But once you have ...
