Tutorial: Making a GREAT Paper texture in Clip Studio Paint (Manga Studio 5)

Texture overlay on the left. Flat color on the right. So you've made a great illustration in Clip Studio Paint or Photoshop. Your line work (if you're a line artist) is the way you want it, you have an eye catching color palette, your composition is dynamic, but there's something about it that still feels just a little off. It feels a little too, well, "digital". If you do artwork digitally, or color scans of your traditional art and digitally color them, you may have run into this. Working digitally is fantastic for so many reasons but it can sometimes result in your art lacking the tooth of traditional artwork. There are of course a variety of ways to remedy this. If you have a more painterly style you can use textured brushes, from brush makers like Kyle T. Webster , Ray Frenden , Paolo Limoncelli (DAUB Brushes) , Brian Allen , and many others. There's also the grain filter effect that you can apply in Photoshop (Comic artist Paolo Rivera mentions h

COLORING TUTORIAL WITH RICK AND MORTY!

Coloring your artwork. Often one of the hardest parts about finishing a piece. Through the years I've had a lot of people compliment my colors, which is funny because when I was starting out I never wanted to learn color. Hell, I barely wanted to learn inking, but I learned both out of necessity and now they're probably my favorite parts of image making! When I first tried my hand at coloring I was almost always over-complicating the process. So with this tutorial I want to give you the tools to somewhat streamline your coloring workflow, but always remember that this is just one way to do it. This isn't a magic bullet and some images are going to require some different techniques. Also, I'm not going to go over color theory, palette choices, how to pick shadow and highlight colors, etc. There are thousands of excellent tutorials online for those topics already by artists far better than me.

RAISING DION IS GETTING A NETFLIX SERIES!

Cover To the Raising Dion Comic Hi everyone! I wanted to make a quick post about the news that broke today about Raising Dion receiving a Netflix series. If you've followed my work over the last few years, you may be familiar (or at least aware) of Raising Dion. If not, here's a story summary: "Raising Dion follows a woman named Nicole Reese, who raises her son Dion after the death of her husband Mark. The normal dramas of raising a son as a single mom are amplified when Dion starts to manifest several magical, superhero-like abilities. Nicole must now keep her son’s gifts secret with the help of Mark’s best friend Pat, and protect Dion from antagonists out to exploit him while figuring out the origin of his abilities." You can still get a free download of the comic, or a $4 print copy from Indyplanet ! Raising Dion is a comic project I worked on with writer and creator, Dennis Liu , in 2014-2015. It's a project I put a lot of care and effor
