    Alright. I'll try doing that then. Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for your reply. I think that makes some sense to me.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I apologize if I didn't quite understand, but do you mean having dense texture near the silhouette of each form and sparse texture near the center? If so, what if the light source was directly pointed towards the sides of the object? If possible, can you show a diagram of what you mean?

    Also, which gradient exercise were you talking about specifically?

    Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a go and see how it turns out.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes, that pretty much makes a lot of sense to me. One question I have though - would that increase tapering in my line work if I were to lift the pen instead of stopping at the mark? And is this okay, or not?

    Yes, I do realize that texture is not the focus of these lessons. Although, I've still been a little confused on the placement of where I use them, should I decide to use them after the construction stage. I can't remember whether or not Uncomfortable said that we can apply textures to where we want our focal points to be.

    The thing that also confuses me is what will happen if where we apply textures to our focal points doesn't reinforce the location of the light source. So for instance, if I decide that my focal point is at the center of an object, but the light source is directly pointing towards the center, how do you think I should address this, because otherwise things will contradict? Or is this something that doesn't really matter too much, as you mentioned earlier on?

    Apologies for all the questions.

    Thanks for the reply. I'll take that into consideration. One more thing, if you wouldn't mind answering - do you think I should draw all of the texture, or just parts of it?

    It looks better. Just a note that it would probably look better if you were to apply a gradient to your hatching from dense to sparse. Also, add some line weight to the overlapping edges so that you can better clarify what's in front of what.

    Other than that, good job for completing lesson 2.

    Next Steps:

    Move on to Lesson 3.

Clip Studio Paint

Clip Studio Paint

I've used a ton of different drawing and painting software over the course of my career, so I can say with confidence that what CSP offers is impressive.

The software is designed around drawing and painting, and it really shows. The brush engine is extremely dynamic, capturing a wide variety of stroke types and effects, making it easy to emulate traditional media if that's what you're after, while still being able to create very polished digital-style graphics.

It also provides a variety of features to make your life easier on a wide variety of projects - from speech bubble and framing tools for comics, to perspective and ellipse guides, to bringing in 3D assets to streamline the production process, to multi-page files, and more. At every turn, it puts the control in your hands, so you can focus on what it is you want to create.
