Free Online Course for Beginner Artists - The Benefits of Thumbnail Sketching

 

The Benefits of Thumbnail Sketching - Free Online Course

Welcome Fellow Artists!

I am sharing a free course with those of you that are looking to improve their skills at drawing.  This course focuses on some of the fundamental drawing principles that beginners tend to overlook or realize too late.

This course will help you to simplify aspects of the work and stay creative as you sketch and search for ideas.  Just remember that the sketch is the life and energy of the artwork.  This course is meant to help you learn to take full advantage of that area of your work, not just rush past it!

You can share your work at any point of this course for myself and other students to see.  If I can offer any valuable insight into your drawing process, I will.

If you find value in this course let me know and consider signing up for future updates if you enjoy the content.

Thank you for considering my course and good luck with your art!

Testing the Clip Studio Paint App for the iPad Pro

Clip Studio Pro App for the iPad

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. )

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!

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!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!! 

Good luck with your art and more on the way! ;)
