In this one I show my process for starting with a very loose sketch and cleaning up the work with minimal use of the perspective guides.</p><p>Don’t get me wrong, I still use the perspective tools here and there as well as the straight line tool but by drawing as much freehand as possible we tend to get a more interesting and organic look.</p><p>I picked this concept up from the amazing talented David Finch. He does his version with pencil and paper but then I started to emulate it with digital methods. Clip Studio is my weapon of choice today but I also like to use Procreate as well.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>So here is the breakdown of the drawing process -</b></h3><p>1. Draw a rough sketch. It’s good to have a concept first but some people like to drawn the perspective guides first. Try both ways to see what fits for you.</p><p>2. Drawn a perspective grid through the design on a new layer using the perspective ruler. I personally like to add more lines where I need them and less where I don’t. Another cool technique you can try here is making the lines different colors for each direction. This is insanely easy in Clip Studio since you have layers to work with.</p><p>3. Now you can start inking and cleaning up the work. I like to tighten up the work as I go rather than redraw it all again. This takes practice but it can be a bit faster and help us to avoid over thinking all the details. I’m a chronic over thinker. Plus, since we are working digitally there are lots of ways to correct things as we go. </p><p>4. Try drawing just a couple of thin lines in perspective but then draw over them and through them as you render your scene. Too many straight lines can make everything look too clean. This is a style choice but for this example I want a building that looks older and more weathered. </p><p>I also feel like this approach lends to creative thinking since you are making decisions on the go and using the rough sketch as a blueprint. Rough concepts are where the ideas and energy come from. We tend to lose some of that as we over refine the work.</p><p>5. Just continue to clean things up but also keep adding imperfections along the way. It really helps to tie it all together. I like to use black and white and flip between them by hitting “X” on the keyboard. It’s like having unlimited whiteout as I ink. You can always change the layer mode to “Multiply” later to color beneath it all.</p><p>You can watch the video here and see it all in real time with me blabbing on about my process of course! ;)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MAHxEVi4WI8" width="320" youtube-src-id="MAHxEVi4WI8"></iframe></div><br /><p>If you have any questions or requests for new video tutorials you can reach me through my website at <a href="https://www.ramstudioscomics.com"><span style="color: #04ff00;">https://www.ramstudioscomics.com</span></a> on my contact page.</p><p>I also have some perspective tutorials on my main website like this one - <a href="https://ramstudioscomics.com/index.php/2023/09/13/perspective-drawing-techniques-how-divide-mirror-and-map-distance/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #04ff00;">Perspective Drawing Techniques - How to Mirror and Map Distance</span></a></p><p>More videos are on the way and thank you for viewing.

You can sign up on Udemy with the link below.</p><p>This course is already at 5.5 hours long and I am just getting started. This will be a massive course since there is just so much to cover. The human body is a complex thing to draw but it is my goal to simplify the process for you as much as possible.</p><p>We will first start by using basic primitive forms to construct parts of the body. This allows us to build some structure and understanding of the forms before applying anatomy. </p><p>You will also learn to use gesture to make your poses more expressive and exciting. A lack of gesture can and will hurt the figure drawing so we need to pay special attention to this area within our work. </p><p>Then we will get into attaching the 3 main masses to the spine. This is a great technique to focus upon so that you pay special attention to the orientation of these early on in the illustration of the figure.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzqwIHJFu6_JfO8dgBubLKf4qhVE51SeTroRaNoNIkT5_zZT-NeAXSllq-W4uaR0jxX_EdACKC3-FK8nHsSdIsliZ6jc2kRLAUyeQg-lHfYm4SyQbfVKTLx5E13D6At2Gtq61P2EJW2XMC/s2048/A17-Spine_of_Scapula_Study_by_RAM.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Figure Drawing - The Body in Action" border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzqwIHJFu6_JfO8dgBubLKf4qhVE51SeTroRaNoNIkT5_zZT-NeAXSllq-W4uaR0jxX_EdACKC3-FK8nHsSdIsliZ6jc2kRLAUyeQg-lHfYm4SyQbfVKTLx5E13D6At2Gtq61P2EJW2XMC/w503-h283/A17-Spine_of_Scapula_Study_by_RAM.jpg" title="Figure Drawing - The Body in Action" width="503" /></a></div><p>This course also has anatomy and bony landmark studies.

After covering all the basic tools and shortcut commands we jump into a scene creation. You will learn to illustrate this Space Scene from scratch. You will learn how to create this scene with a very simple approach. This way you can focus on being able to paint without learning all the complexities that Photoshop has to offer. This course is designed for the beginner to the intermediate digital artist in mind!</div>

How to Draw Superheroes - Female Proportions and Suit Designs</h3>
<div>
<div>
I just created a new Skillshare class to add to my next course on, <b>"How to Draw Superheroes - Start to Finish!"</b> This will be just another part to the course that will be packed full of great information!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In this particular lesson we will cover basic proportions of the superhero female form. You will learn how I draw a turnaround of a character, then how to apply anatomy and a suit design. Breaking down the process can make it much easier to accomplish.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This can seem like a basic lesson but I assure it is a very important one to practice. Turning the character around on the page gives you a great sense on how they look from these basic angles. Then drawing them in more dynamic poses is easier to envision. Don't worry, we will get into all that advanced stuff later, I promise!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Get them on Skillshare!</h3>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By the end of this course we will cover all the various techniques I use to create comic book heroes. Things like proportions + distortions of the body, dynamic anatomy, suit designs, powers, rendering/crosshatching, shapes of shadows, action poses, foreshortening, and by the end of it we will complete a full scene creation to put all that knowledge to the test.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you will join me for these lessons and I am here if you have any questions. As always keep drawing and keep having fun! :)</div>

You will start with a male face that I have created for you. This allows you to simply focus on the hair drawing and not worrying too much about the characters face. Try creating lots of variations over the same pose. See how much you can change the characters look with a new hair style! Have fun with it! :)</div>

<b>Clip Studio Pro App for the iPad</b></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a quick demo of the inking and coloring from the Clip Studio Paint app on the iPad Pro. I must say it functions just as it should. ( so far! ) Everything is extremely similar to the desktop version. Probably the most difficult thing to figure out was the import/export of the files. ( Quick note - if you are running Manga Studio 5 EX you can open your files on the iPad but not from the Clip Studio Version back to MS5. Just use PSD's until you get the updated software for your desktop as a work around. )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Really nice to be able to sit back on the couch and work on any of my fully layered MS5 files. Will definitely help with the Blackstone comic. That alone will justify the monthly costs I guess but still not happy with it. I just feel too many of these companies are trying to justify monthly memberships. I don't want to get on a negative tangent about that but I think they should do a one time purchase where you would either pay for major updates or a monthly subscription where all updates and support is included. Just my 2 cents of course!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will keep testing this app out and let you know what I find and videos will be on the way. I must admit I am pretty impressed with its ability to run like a full blown program on the iPad Pro. I imagine others such as Photoshop will follow soon. I will also say that Procreate does handle the sketching process a bit better in my opinion but it is still a bit early to be sure about that. The inking and watercolor brushes on Clip Studio Paint are just as amazing as they are on the desktop version so that is pretty freaking cool!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!! </div>

<b>How to Improve Your Creature Design Drawing - Step by Step</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this class you will learn how to draw a variety of creature concepts. I will walk you through all the techniques that I use to draw imaginative creatures every day. This class is good for traditional and digital artists.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will learn how to draw various studies to improve your knowledge and gain inspiration. We will cover break downs of specific areas in the creature anatomy to better understand how their bodies work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will learn to draw and study the spine since it is the foundation of almost any creature you will draw. I will walk you through creating lots of different concepts in this class. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a break down of the Lessons that are currently available -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
L1 -<b> The Spine Says it All </b>- In this lesson you will learn why studying the spine is so important and follow along with me as I illustrate a few examples.(Run Time - 13:09)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
L2 - <b>Thumbnailing the Concepts </b>- In this lesson we will thumbnail 11 different concepts. This is an integral part of the design process. By keeping the ideas loose and the sketches quick ( 5-6 Minutes ) you can express a lot of concepts to work from. (Run Time - 8:54) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
L3 - <b>The Brain Box</b> - In this lesson you will learn how to draw various heads for our creatures. We will talk about some of the differences that define predators and prey. (Run Time - 9:19)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
L4 - <b>Creating Variations in Your Concepts</b> - In this lesson we will draw 6 creature designs but focus on making each one very different from the previous example. This can be a great way to stretch the imagination. (Run Time - 12:00)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
L5 - <b>Animal Leg Studies </b>- It is important to study various parts of animal anatomy to gain perspective on your creature designs. Here we will draw 3 examples from animals and adjust them slightly to look more imaginative. (Run Time - 7:57)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
L6 - <b>Merging Concepts Together</b> - In this lesson you will work with me as I draw 6 different creature limbs. Each will have at least 2 various traits mixed together to create the design. (Run Time - 11:04)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
L7 - <b>Adjusting Proportions</b> - In this lesson you will learn how to create a creature concept and then adjust the proportions to make a very different version of that same creature. This can be another very useful exercise in developing a unique creature design. (Run Time - 11:03)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
L8 - <b>Project Ogre Thumbnails</b> - In this lesson you will learn how to work from a script like a real pro does. This is a fun and important exercise to do so let's get to it. We will start by drawing out our thumbnails to this concept. (Run Time - 17:02)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
L9 - <b>Cleaning up the Concept</b> - In this lesson we will draw one more thumbnail and make our decision on what to keep and what to pitch. We will then start to clean up our sketch. (Run Time - 17:08)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
L10 - <b>Refining the Drawing</b> - Now the heavy lifting has been done and we will start to refine the line work and make it pretty for the client or our portfolio...or both! (Run Time - 18:50)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome back everyone! I have some new course content to share with you today. It is on drawing and painting an Ogre character concept in Manga Studio 5 / Clip Studio Paint. In this course I will walk you through the entire process step by step while explaining the tools I use within this program.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWx_NUZer-KvZ6cU1sYYLI2DNNq4SrEi2vNQp3Hfr1L5kl-_7c14z6Rl-qsgPrL9jAw1vycVe_U3ZGUPK2K26MIIundt3tkFi0NQ2L9q4HoCplwymltRbk5rFgy4pTiV7bIToyjkRh95n2/s1600/Ogre_Concept_by_RAM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="967" data-original-width="1600" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWx_NUZer-KvZ6cU1sYYLI2DNNq4SrEi2vNQp3Hfr1L5kl-_7c14z6Rl-qsgPrL9jAw1vycVe_U3ZGUPK2K26MIIundt3tkFi0NQ2L9q4HoCplwymltRbk5rFgy4pTiV7bIToyjkRh95n2/s400/Ogre_Concept_by_RAM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<u>Drawing and Refining the Concept</u></h3>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will first start with the rough sketch where you will learn how to define the overall proportions of this creature design. You will learn a series of techniques to adjust and add to the existing line work to get the desired look of the character. Then I will show you how to clean up the line work and get it ready for the digital painting process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<u>Adding in the Flats and Separating the Work</u></h3>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the next lessons we will go over how to add in the flat colors while segmenting the work. This will help us visualize the direction we are heading and aid in the painting process later on. Segmenting the work on complex characters or scenes can help you to retain a solid feel to the artwork until you build the confidence to no longer need these steps. Some artists use this method on every piece of artwork they create and others begin to use less and less layers over time as their skills with editing become more effective. It is for you to decide what works best in your workflow.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After we have put all the foundational information in place we will begin to add in our digital painting effects. We will be using some custom brushes but not many. I have puposely created this artwork with a minimal set of brushes to show you that it can be done effectively with just a few good brushes. Amazing paintings can be done with just one brush but you will spend more time creating the effects you might be looking for. All the brushes I have used will be included with this course.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This course consists of <b>19</b> step by step narrated lessons showing you how to draw and paint this character design. You get the art files and custom brushes to work along with. The total course is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4 Hours 29 Minutes</b> long.</div>

I am currently working on my next lesson for drawing and painting in Manga Studio 5 / Clip Studio Paint. This fantasy art piece will be what I demonstrate from start to finish while explaining the tools I use within Manga Studio 5.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In these lessons you will learn how I draw out a concept like this one and continue to make changes until I am satisfied. Then we will move to applying the paint effects. You will learn how I use layers and groups, combine modes, custom brushes, quick masks, mesh transformation, and pretty much everything it takes to bring this artwork to completion. You will even learn some cool post processing techniques that I use to get my artwork ready for the old portfolio!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will also get some cool custom brushes to work along with as well as a copy of the art file.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will keep everyone posted on the release of this next lesson so be sure to follow me on my Gumroad here -</div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I think this one is going to demystify a lot of problem areas for up and coming digital painters. I go into detail about the various tools in Photoshop for creating these paintings. Things like Liquify, the Warp Tool, Blending Modes, Adjustment Layers, Quick Mask, Creating Custom Brushes, and the list goes on.</span></div>

<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">It is a more structured approach than most artists take when painting but the purpose is to show you how to itemize your work for more edits through the process. This will also help you to work through the complex scenes without getting frustrated.</span></div>

NEW! Digital Painting in Photoshop - </h2>

Create Amazing Concept Art (Course)</h2>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
Dear Students!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
Would you like to improve your digital paintings using the powerful features within Adobe Photoshop? Do you want to create amazing character designs? Then this is the course for you!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
In this 6.8 hour course you will learn how to use Adobe Photoshop CC to better create your digital art. This course has 27 lessons that move you through the entire process of creating a fully rendered character concept.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
In the first section you will learn the tools that I use and how I use them. You will learn about the layers and groups, the selections tools, dodge and burn, custom brushes and settings, blending modes, adjustment layers, layer styles, quick mask, and much more.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
You will then move through the illustrative process with me from the rough sketch to the digital painting. We will start with a pre-drawn pose that I have supplied and we work out the concept from there. You will learn how to rough sketch your ideas without jumping in too fast with refinements.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
This course can be completed with any drawing tablet. I am using a Wacom Intuos 4 to create this art and although I will be mentioning things about that device you can use any tablet with pressure sensitivity. Mainly so the brushes will react in the way that I explain them.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
I have designed this course to be a basic approach for beginner and intermediate digital painters to learn from. I created in the way that I would want to learn. This will not teach you everything about Photoshop but it will give you a firm understanding of how I use it to create my digital paintings every day.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<b>Bonus Content </b>- With this course you get all the art files, textures, and my full Photoshop custom brush set ( 50 Pack ) to work along with. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">

<a href="https://gum.co/gSXXs" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivH3Vh262aL2v_mdqLHGOvGopmv1B-VdxJlIy9vMAhxMW2U6yfcr-NHsE8MPS6gkbbN92xPvzg6gIDNNlpG3aethc6GKDiV8_6LM53_CMo4vRLcZjnBDXBY5I3GCo7Cg92FjkctBPciF8w/s400/How_to_Draw_Comics_Style_Hair_Cover_Photo.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is my next lesson for Drawing Comic Style Hair 3 different ways.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This started as a request from one of my Patreon supporters. I have done some other tutorials on my Youtube channel but this one is a more in depth look with art files to work along with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have struggled with getting the right look for hair for many years so I know what others mean when they say they just cannot seem to draw it properly. It is one of those things you will always be studying to get better at. Just like hands, faces, and feet. ( Yuck! I hate drawing feet. lol )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So don't beat yourself up in the process and just take your time. Draw from as many resources as possible to gain your perspective on the subject. Great artists are not made overnight. It takes lots of time and lots of studies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this lesson I will walk you through my process step by step in real time. You will see how I built up the shapes and design the hair style I am after. I then show you how I place the shadows and add in the render lines or texture of the hair. I also talk about the importance of simplifying the process for your comic book style art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I hope this lesson will shed some well needed light on that subject matter for you and keep in mind that I am here to help. If you have any questions or requests for future content I am listening!</div>

Skillshare Comic Figure Drawing Class</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am now teaching a class on Skilshare. The current class if focused on Figure Drawing and Comic Character creation. I will be adding more lessons each week so let me know what you want to learn and I will make it happen! I want to teach some techniques for breaking down the poses and reconstructing them with confidence. My classes are more for aspiring comic book artists but they can be translated well for fine artists too. The same basic principles apply and a lot of what I will be teaching can apply to other things in your art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you find this content valuable and I am interested to hear what you think. There will be exercises to make sure you are learning what you need to. That is one of the things I find pretty neat about Skillshare. As well as the lessons being smaller bite size segments, unlike my larger courses on Udemy and my Gumroad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sign up for my Skilshare classes here and I look forward to helping you with your ART!! <a href="http://skl.sh/2nBoUec"><span style="color: lime;">http://skl.sh/2nBoUec</span></a></div>

In this video I am using a Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet to pencil, ink, and color this Hulk FanArt. I talk about the benefits of using this type of device compared to the more expensive units such as the Cintiq and iPad Pro. You can accomplish everything you want with the more affordable devices with practice and patience. </div>

My Review of the FlexiSpot M2 35" Sit/Stand Desktop</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am currently reviewing the FlexiSpot M2 35" Sit/Stand Desktop. It is an amazing product for people that are at their workstations for long hours. As artists and designers we find ourselves in this situation a lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been known to draw for 14 hours on some days when deadlines are looming and a setup like this can be a lifesaver. Whenever my lower back would start to hurt I would have to stop and walk around for a while before I could get back to drawing but now with this setup I can simply adjust it to stand up and alleviate my back pain. The health benefits to a product like this one are huge and the productivity is amazing as well because you stay in the moment of creating longer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has a huge range of lift to the unit and the real benefit is that it lifts everything together in one motion and it is completely stable so that you can draw and work without the distraction of your devices moving.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They also gave ample room to the work area and the keyboard tray to house multiple devices like you see here. I have my Mac keyboard, mouse, and Intuos 4 with room to spare. They even incorporated a slot for your phone or iPad to sit. Kudos! ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the FlexiSpot M2 35" Sit/Stand Desktop. They have larger and smaller unit to suit your needs. They are built well and there is only a small amount of assembly that took me about 15 minutes to complete. I give this product a 5 star review from my perspective as an artist/designer.</div>

-- How to Improve Your Figure Drawing Course Update --</h2>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quick update on my Figure Drawing course on Udemy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have taken the course ( or possibly thinking about it ) you might be happy to know that I added 3 NEW lectures to the course. Adding another full hour of video content. These new lessons are on drawing and shading muscular arms. These are a little more geared for comic artists but I still feel it can be a great exercise for most art styles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will also be adding a few more lectures on drawing female arm poses since I had a student mention it would help to make the course more well rounded. I am always happy to get feedback to make these products better for everyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like all my other content you get the art files to work along with. If you have any questions about the course content I am always here to help!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the link with the discounted price to the course and good luck with your art! </div>

Figure Drawing Foundations - Proportions by Clayton Barton</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello fellow comic art guys and gals. I have a pretty cool offer for you if you find yourself wanting to get better at drawing comic book hero proportions. We have all struggled in that department a time or two and it never hurts to work on that subject as much as possible. So here is just the thing to get those mental gears working on that topic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Figure Drawing Foundations - Proportions by Clayton Barton. Clayton has done a stand up job at breaking down the barriers when it comes to understanding proportions. He goes into great detail on this subject and sheds light on this tricky topic. He also gives you a nice variety of tiers to choose from. Since one size doesn't fit all, you can choose from a few packages to suit your level of interest for this topic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the various packages you get video walkthroughs, PDF's, access to a virtual classroom, and lots of finely crafted lessons. I have been drawing a long time and I must admit that I am finding some great tips and tricks in here that I needed to learn. He has done an excellent job at covering all the bases to understanding body proportions and character designs. He breaks it down in an easy to follow manner which is so valuable when doing these types of studies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you need that level up on your character work this is the course content to check out. And please share the work. Clayton is an amazing teacher and to keep him creating great content sharing the work is essential!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

In this video I use Sketchbook Pro 8 to draw fan art for our last Youtube contest winner. This is Simon Belmont and Dracula from the Castlevania game. I created this one with a comic art style. Next I will be adding the inks and colors so please stop back to see the finished product if you like!</div>
