Oh and also following along tutorials like this one in the beginning can really help you build mileage and get the hang of painting in general

There are a lot of awesome stuff out there, just remember that one of the rules for studying smart and efficiently rather than just hard but inefficiently is choosing only the best materials, if it seems like a waste of your precious time just stop and move on haha :D

Yeah there is so much.......just too much. I always felt bad when I didn't stick with something because it might have something valuable that I've not heard somewhere else.....but well just ended up with so much repeat information.

Also something I've asked my self quite a lot. Is it worth listening to the advice of artist of which you really don't like there style of? They are well loved for a reason and they seem to know a lot, but when they draw everything just looks so......wrong to me.

Trent has a way of giving no-nonsenses answers, but at the same time imparting extremely valuable information. I love the quality of his work. Many greats in that list.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.

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.
