Custom Inking Brushes for Manga Studio 5

My custom inking brushes are now available in Manga Studio 5 as well.  There has been a good response from the Photoshop ones so upon request I have transferred them over to Manga Studio 5 in the SUT format.  I will be doing a demonstration video on these as well.  I am even creating a fan art piece with these just to show them on an actual illustration.  These brushes should save time in some areas and help with some cool effects.  The cross hatching and the texture brushes are fun to use and the kirby crackle is pretty much spot on.  And the set even has bullet holes.  You can never have enough bullet holes in my opinion. lol

So I hope you enjoy these and I would love to see how you use them in your work!  This set is available for download on my Gumroad page for $5 and there are a couple free Photoshop brushes as well.  More Manga Studio or Clip Studio Paint brushes are on the way!

Thanks for your support!

Comic Book Inking Brushes for Photoshop CC by RAM

So here are my revolutionary comic book inking brushes for Photoshop CC.  These brushes are lots of fun and should save you huge amounts of time.  The Crackle effect alone is extremely useful.  Not to mention all the cool effects that can be made with the different cross hatching brushes in here.  And I am pretty sure the hair brush will be a big hit as well.  Keep in mind you need a tablet that supports pressure sensitivity and rotation to take full advantage of these brushes.  And also remember that these brushes will not make or break you as an artist.  You will still have to dedicate time to master them but as I said before, used correctly they can save you lots of time.  So if you check them out please let me know what you think and what you might like to see in the future and I will do my best to make it happen.

This set is available on my Gumroad for $5 but also grab my FREE set while you are there and try those out as well.  You can watch a demonstration video on my Youtube channel to see these puppies in action!  Hope to hear from you soon and thanks for your support! ;)

These brushes were designed in and for Photoshop CC 2015.  This is an ABR File.  It should

work with all the CS Versions as well.

Lets Make a Superhero - Step by Step - Part 3 - Manga Studio 5

So here is Part 3 of "Let's Make a Superhero!"  This was one of my first series and it wasn't as easy as I thought so I have lots of things to improve but it was fun to do.  This was basically a work along with the subscribers to the channel.  They gave comments and ideas and I had to composite them together into this singular perspective that has now been named......wait for it........THRUSTER! lol.

Maybe not the most impressive of names and probably already been used once or twice but this was for the experimentation and learning process.  It is always exciting to get feedback from viewers and see what can be done with it.  It also allowed me to see some real flaws in my own work and process.  My proportions are off and my character design is stiff.  But now that I have spotted the problem it is time to fix it.  So lots of long hours ahead of me and time to study some of the greats and why they are great!

I just want to say thanks for everyone that participated in this project.  It took me a bit longer to produce than I hoped.  Life always seems to get in the way.  The next one will be quicker and more polished.  I already have requests to do a Super Villain so maybe we will cover that topic next!

Can't wait to see how that one goes! :)

Thanks for stopping by and keep up the good fight!

Speed Painting Orgrim from World of Warcraft

Here is a speed painting of Orgrim Warhammer from World of Warcraft.  I was inspired to do this one with the awesome movie art and 3D designs they have been putting out.  Cannot wait to see that this movie later this year.  This was painted in my favorite painting program Manga Studio 5 and I used a Wacom Intuos 5 even though I have this pretty little Cintiq staring at me all jealous right now. lol.  Why you ask?  I did it to prove to myself that I can.  I always get artist on my Youtube channel saying that they wish they had a Cintiq or Apply iPad Pro or whatever so that they could draw like their favorite digital artist.  And I just want them to know that you can overcome the tool at hand.  I am no great artist.  I am decent.....I think.  But if I can do it, then by golly so can you!  So just practice, practice, practice and when you are ready to give up cause you little fingers hurt, draw some more!!  We don't give up soldier!  Sorry I know that was a little over the top.  :/  

Anyways, I know digital art isn't cheap to get into and Cintiqs definitely are not cheap but if you can get a basic tablet on a decent system then you can create art like this.  And if not then just stick to pen and paper and keep selling your originals until you can afford all this stuff.  Either way, just enjoy what you create and you will always be happy that my friends is truly the golden egg! ;)

Thanks for watching and more on the way very soon!!

Let's Create a Superhero Together!

What's up comic book pals!  So this next little project is us banding together and creating the next big thing in superhero comics.  Well, maybe not the next big thing but who knows.  Anything could happen, right?  I like to think positive when creating characters. :)  So this video series on my Youtube channel is to show the process of creating a superhero but also allowing you the viewer to contribute and be part of that process.  By commenting on the video you are arming me with lots of ideas to work with.  Then it is up to me as the artist to put them all together into a smorgasbord of superhero-ness!  Sounds like fun to me.  So be sure to jump on the video and leave your two cents.  Also take the time to read some of the other comments and if you see something you like then well...then.....like it with the thumbs up!  It lets me know what ideas are valid and makes my job a bit easier to put this character together.  Hopefully this little idea is fun and informative for everyone that wants to know a little bit more about creating their very own superhero!

Thanks for watching and talk to you soon!

My Custom Brush Set for Digital Painting in Photoshop

In this video I show the brush set I use for digital painting and then share some of the techniques I use to work with these brushes.  I have condensed my brush set down to the bare minimal and by doing so it saves me a lot of time from searching through some large list of brushes.  And it forces me to focus more on painting techniques versus brushes to create the effects for me.

Let me know what you think of the video and you can follow the link below to download my brush set for free.  I hope you enjoy them!

Thanks for watching and more on the way real soon!
