Discount Offer Code on my Gumroad Page - 50% OFF

First off if you are reading this and you are someone that has already been to my Gumroad store and purchased something, Thank You! It has really helped me to continue drawing, painting, and creating tutorials which I love to do. I am not saying it pays all my bills but it sure doesn't hurt. I have been able to justify spending the time that I do on Youtube making videos and replying to comments. ( Which takes lots of hours to do by the way. But I enjoy it! ) I like to help out when I can. It also has given me a guide on what is wanted and what is not.  Youtube does that for me as well but not in the same regard. As you know we will all watch something for free and sometimes we will catch ourselves watching something we don't even particular enjoy or care about.  Just zoning out on the boob tube I guess.  But, when it is something you pay for then you are much more likely to be committed to it.  You probably wouldn't spend the money otherwise.  So it really shows me what people are after when  they take my video tutorials or a full course.  Which is great because I need that direction some times.  Sitting in a basement studio thinking up ideas can be fun but it can also be mind boggling at times.  What thing shall I teach today in this infinite vastness that is art and comics?  Should I do yet another video tutorial on How to Draw an Eye?  Or should it be a full course on How to Draw an Eye on a Six Legged Winged Spawn from the Planet Nectar?  I would think the first idea would be more popular than the later but what do I know.  Maybe there is a niche in the market for the weird and absurd.  So Gumroad helps me to see that and you as the viewer help me to know that.  

So here is my way to say thanks

When checking out anything at my store use the offer code -  50percentoffnow

And you will see the items get marked down to half.  And, follow me on Gumroad and get future deals.  I will be giving special offers to repeat customers.

Take care and good luck with your art!

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.

Hello Gumroad!

Well I went and jumped on the Gumroad bandwagon!  I have been looking for a way to get more of my digital work out to some fans without signing my life away in that process and Gumroad seems to have a pretty nice setup so time will tell.  I have already made the Blackstone comic available there for download and next I will be uploading a course on "Digital Painting in Manga Studio 5 EX."  Or Clip Studio Paint Pro.  Not sure why they had to switch the name but oh well.  It is what it is......whatever that means.  I will also be including my custom brushes on there as well as some of my art.  It hopefully will be a way that I can keep producing content for those of you that really enjoy it and make a living at this art thingy that I love to do so much.  I see that other artist have been able to keep putting out their work with the help of this platform so I am giving it a try.

Let me know what you think of Gumroad and what you would like to see me put on there.  I am putting a lot of work into the content that I will be posting on there.  This video set will explain lots of techniques in Manga Studio for digital painting and scene creation.  It will start with basic conceptual elements and weapons then we will move onto character creation rules of composition.  So I hope this helps a lot of artist like me that were initially lost in this program.  And for artist that don't want to fork out the big bucks for Photoshop and Corel Painter.  By the way, I think Manga Studio has them beat and no one seems to realize it. Very strange indeed.

Thanks for stopping by any more on the way real soon!

Here is the link to my newly created Gumroad page...Wish me luck! ;)

How to Make a Comic Inking Brush in Photoshop

This video covers how to create a custom comic book inking brush inside of Adobe Photoshop CC.  This tutorial will give you a better understanding of how I create my brushes and what settings I adjust in the Wacom tablet properties to help my brushes feel more accurate to traditional tools.  You have to know both to get a brush that works well, mainly because we all have very different drawing styles so tweaking the sensitivity of the devices along with the software makes a big difference.  I upload new brushes every now and then when I have time to create them.  You can download my brushes in the link below and if you have any questions about this process then please leave a comment on my video and I will respond when I can.

Thanks for watching and I hope you find this helpful with creating your comics!

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!
