I made a book!

This was an exercise in Learning New Things. I used two brand new stitches with just the wrongest possible thread, I learned several ways to not do a baseball stitch, I lined something for the first time (so the stitches wouldn't rub on the pages), I bound a book...

The technical specs are: it's 100 pages long-stitch bound to 1.5 oz cowhide lining, which was then sewn to the four ounce dyed vegtan outer cover.

I switched from PS to Clip Studio Paint back in 2019, here's a bunch of brushes I've developed since then. Some are free, some you can get by supporting me, some you can get by donating to different causes.

If you can't afford them, please feel free to ask me for a download link (or I can email them to you).

first ever attempt at leather tooling, made a moth for my wife. I learned a lot! Including that the beveler that came with my stamp set is WAY too big for a piece this size and I really need to buy some new Xacto blades

🐉 new CSP brushes up in my shop! 🐉

thirty-seven scaly, spikey, toothy, and generally crittery tools for clip studio made from scanned ink drawings.

like most of my brushes these are sharp-edged and fully opaque to fit in with bold art styles, with plenty of optional blending and colour variance. have a look if you're inclined to make some little guys, or expand your texture collection!

as always, my full library of brushes can also be accessed on patreon at any tier.

Animal reference photo compilation concept test!

I've been saving this project for a new website I'm planning, but that's been delayed by the grindstone of capitalism, so I'm going to set up this part early. This is the concept test for a repository of reference photos of a whole bunch of different species of exotic animals.

For every 50 or so photos I take of an animal, there's generally only a couple that I like and are also in focus and also framed correctly. But that led me to realize... all those slightly blurry or off-center photos are probably a great set of references for people interested in general shape/form/movement for their art! So I'm setting up of the idea before fully committing the time into making it happen.

I've been going through my photo backlog and pulling out the shots I think will be useful for art references. Lots of them show posture, facial movement, close-ups of feet or eyes, and walk cycles, but also other behaviors like jumping or drinking. They're not perfect - there's often stuff out of focus or reflections on the glass - but I think they'll still be useful for art?

The link below is to the Dropbox where I'll host these photos until I eventually get that new website/project up and running. Right now I've got folders of four species uploaded for this test: California Condor (CW for carcass feed photos), Jaguar, Komodo Dragon, and Moose. Please go check them out and tell me what you think!

~~WADTT Animal Reference Photos Dropbox Link~~

What I'm looking to learn from y'all is:

Is this type of reference photo repository useful / worth doing?

Do these photos work or are they too blurry/wonky/there's too many?

What things would make a project like this better? (Caveat, it has to stay on Dropbox for now).

If this turns out to be as useful as I'm hoping, and the photos work, I've got a whole bunch more species to upload.

I have to draw a lot of gold and metal for my work, but wasn't happy with any of the metal tutorials i could find around. I prefer really specific instruction, so after some research i put together what i think works as a generalist's guide/tutorial. Not perfectly accurate, but i hope it's helpful!

Here is a round-up of all eight of the free digital brush packs that I’ve released so far for Photoshop CC, Clip Studio Paint, and Procreate!

You can download them on this page (click) Type in “0″ for a free download or tip any amount you so desire!

All my brush packs are totally free (tips optional but always very appreciated!) and can be used freely in any work, including commercial work that you profit off of, with no license or credit required. My goal with these brush packs is to make digital painting feel more achievable and accessible - especially painting environments, something I now LOVE but that used to intimidate me, & felt much more approachable with the right tools! Many of the packs also come with tutorial video content. I hope you enjoy!
