IN THE LAB - DIGITAL DRAWING TOOLS

Currently in development: assortment of charcoal, pencil, colored pencil, and graphite tools for Manga Studio 5 and Clip Studio Paint. I’m getting some really cool textures and realistic effects that I haven’t seen before in MS5 brushes.

These should be arriving in February on my downloads page. I’ll be posting updates here in the meantime.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s been quiet around here during my teaching season, but I wanted to take a moment and say thank you to all of you for following along! 

If Every Porkchop Were Perfect…

Caught up with this little guy over the weekend. What a great character! Thanks to Rebecca Sugar and her amazing team for creating such a beautiful show. Everything - from the art, music, animation, humor, and writing - glows with a unique, warm-hearted spirit.

LOOSE INKERS 3 Brushes for Manga Studio 5 + Clip Studio Paint

A new mini pack of digital inking tools is up on my download page!

These inkers are designed to be fluid and flexible. They each have a sensitive pressure curve to go from super thin to thick in the same stroke. The brushes are also tilt-enabled, if your tablet supports it, allowing for even thinner weights when your pen is angled.

Each brush has a different edge, giving an analog and slightly textured character to your inking:

The Loose Inker set is Pay-What-You-Want. Students rejoice! A suggested $1-2 contribution helps support the creation of future brush packs. Thanks!

Testing two new inkers in preparation for Inktober! And I don’t know what these doodles are, besides a mess.

Splatter Effect Brushes 30 Tools for Manga Studio 5 & Clip Studio Paint

They’re here, everybody! Awesome tools for painting in a crazy, spontaneous fashion like good old Jackson Pollock. Also great for dynamic effects such as:

Liquid splashes

Sparks and flames

Blood splatters

Streaks of mold and grime

Grasses & vegetation

These tools are super versatile and randomized. The above cover image was made with just 2 brushes (not counting masking out the figure).

Each of the 10 brushes have 2 unique blending variations for a total of 30 tools. Here’s a preview from the included guide:

Thanks everyone for your interest, patience, and support. Can’t wait to see what you all do with these tools!
