Today's video tutorial study plan:

1. Wrap up my opening studies of Balsamiq
2. Resume studies of Adobe InDesign
3. Make time to practice with various features of Clip Studio Paint. Possibly practice designing a brush for use in my own illustration projects. Also possibly, just drawing stuff in general.

While all this world-shaking American political history is in progress right now, I am distracted by one thing as an artist:

There is a spine brush set for use with Clip Studio Paint. Someone went to the trouble of designing and uploading a brush set to automate the process of drawing human spines.

Moving along...making some progress.

Still moving along, slowly...

One of the other things I'm doing to get my skills back to speed has been practicing with Clip Studio Paint (formerly Manga Studio). One such project was a response to all those damned meme-pix of Batman slapping Robin. I hate seeing that image being repeated over and over, and for all the problems of swapping in the Joker for Robin that I'm sure are obvious...why not one of the villains instead of Bruce's first-adopted?Violent art under the cut )

Clearly, as a colourist, I am never going to be in Laura Martin's league.

This is a thing I wish I could see. If you're in Ottawa and have an interest in the art form and business, you might want a look.

Trying to install some page templates in Clip Studio Paint (formerly Manga Studio). Not finding the how-to guide very quickly.

Going to work as normal, but leaving early for the Eye Institute quarterly check-up. After that, dilation drops or not, I expect to go back to the office and do what I can for the rest of the work day. I promised as much.

Meantime, installing more brushes in MangaStudio/Clip Studio Paint tonight. Where to "file" the skin and hair "brushes"?

More practice time with Manga Studio today. Actually feels like I'm getting somewhere with this. It's slow, but that's alright.

Amidst all the office work, photography, writing, house chores and so on...I got back to the drawing tables, paper and digital, today. For practice. Since I was able to get the updated Manga Studio recently, the acquisition tripped a circuit in my brain.

It has been months since I could even think of drawing again on a daily basis.

Months.

More on that another day.

...specifically Dominic from Da Vinci's Inquest/Da Vinci's City Hall, not Leonardo, right now.

(Although Leonardo's making for a fun read as a fictionalized action hero in Marvel's SHIELD as written by Jonathan Hickman right now. More on that another time!)

Anyway, here's a bit of experimentation using Manga Studio's pencil tool-set:

Apologies to Nicholas Campbell, Haddock Entertainment et al. if I've displeased. It's admittedly a Work In Progress.
