Digital Panting in Manga Studio 5 - Working in Perspective

Digital Panting in Manga Studio 5 - Working in Perspective 

In this course I walk you through using the perspective tools inside of Manga Studio 5 / Clip Studio Paint. We first delve into the basics and the setup in one, two, and three point perspective. Then I walk you through the use of the  special rulers. A lot of students have expressed a certain confusion about these tools but the reason they are difficult to understand is because they have lots of options for controlling the perspective. 

I demonstrate these tools and show you how to make them much easier to work with. A few programs have now adopted perspective drawing tools but none of them are as functional and versatile as these are. The special rulers alone are huge time savers for comic book illustrators.

After I run through the basics I think take you through the entire process of creating the image you see above. ( Scroll to the next slide to see the entire picture. ) The majority of this course is all in real time with only small amounts time lapsed in areas where I have already explained the process in real time and didn't want to bore you with repetition. 

I also teach you how to setup and edit your work efficiently by making proper use of the groups and layers. As well as give you a better understanding of the blending modes.

By the end of this 5 hour course you will have worked through the entire image with me and learned what techniques I use to create my digital paintings.

Painting A Futuristic City - Concept Art for the Blackstone Comic

So here is another labor of love.  This is a painting that I stared in Photoshop and then it made its way into Manga Studio 5.  Just because there are certain effects I actually prefer in that program.  So just like it started in one program and ended in another so has the concept of the art as well.  This started as just another portfolio piece but as I began to paint it and my day dreaming started to kick in, I began to think about how this could fit into the Blackstone Comic.  I mean, come on, that is why I draw/paint this stuff in the first place, right?!  So as I began to work through this piece I started to think of the middle build as a high profile maximum prison and who better to get thrown into this slammer than Blackstone.  It would make for a nice book at any rate.  He gets put in here under lock and key and has to break his way out and of course, no one and I mean NO ONE has ever made it out alive.  Why?  Because not only is this facility state of the art it also has a living organism that is part of the structure itself.  Imagine never being able to evade detection because the entire compound is alive and watching you.  Creepy right?!  Good creepy is fun so there is the idea.  Next the details have to evolve.  Will he team up with others in the compound to make the break?  Will one of his many enemies seeking revenge break in to make sure he is finished off this time?  Only time will tell.

So that is how I come up with ideas for my book.  Not sure when this one will actually make it there but I love to work on concepts like these and hopefully get them into print one day.  Still on book #2 and it has been very slow in the making but I am always trying to figure out ways to dedicate more time to the project.  So for those of you that are patient and have supported by getting a copy,  I thank you!

Thanks for reading and more on the way real soon!

How to Draw a City in a 2 Point Perspective Using Sketchbook Pro 7

Here is a video I should have done a while ago but better late than never, right?  This one is on how to draw a city in a two point perspective.  I used Sketchbook Pro 7 and its pretty awesome perspective rulers to complete the task but you should be able to do this with traditional methods as well.  Of course you could use Manga Studio 5 which also has some pretty cool perspective rulers.  So what's up with the Adobe guys???  Hurry up and add some perspective tools already! 

 So if you have every struggled drawing a city then hopefully this one will help you.  I tried to keep it basic and easy to follow.  Let me know what you think of it and if you have any questions, then I am all ears.  I will try to do some more variations of this type of video.  Worms eye view of a city or a 3 Point Perspective might be fun to do as well.  Futuristic city scape on an alien world.  Now that sounds like fun!! ( Man, I am such a nerd..... :>/ )

So at any rate, I hope you enjoy this video and more on the way very soon.
