#i've also just switched from krita to clip studio and trying to get used to the new interface

Based on @zerozerozio's prompt:

Could you draw something cute where Jim teases Spock or gives him a little kiss on the ear? I've always had this idea that Spock's ears might be ticklish, so it could be a nice way for Jim to make him smile.

So there you have it! 😁

We Don't Gatekeep Art Resources | A Comprehensive List

Here's a list of some of the tools/sites I currently use or have used previously for works/studies. I'll separate it into Software/Utility, Reference, and 'Other' which will be just general things that could help you map out things for your experience with art. **[Free highlighted in pink, paid highlighted in green. Blue is variable/both. Prices Listed in USD]**

Software/Utility:

2D

Krita Painting app (PC) (my main digital art software on PC for 5+ yrs)

Clip Studio Paint [PC] [CSP 2.0+ allows for 3d modelling within the painting app and a lot of other cool features] [apparently allows up to 6 months free trial]

Procreate (12.99) [iPad/iPad Pro] (the GOAT)

Artstudio Pro [iPad/iPad Pro] (An alternative to Procreate if you enjoy the more traditional art app layout) -- I find this app handy when Procreate is lacking a feature I need, or vice versa. (you can easily transfer files between the two, but keep in mind Procreate's layer limit)

2D "Collaborative Painting/Drawing apps"

Magma Studio

Drawpile

Discord Whiteboard

Gartic Phone (Pretty decent for 2d animation practice, but has a hard limit on frames)

3D

Blender [3D Modelling, Sculpting + Layout] (PC)

Sculptris [PC] (it's an old unsupported version of Zbrush, but can help to get ideas out, and functions better than browser sculpting apps

Nomad Sculpt [iPad/iPad Pro] ($20) Works pretty well if you prefer a mobile setup, but it is a bit intense on the battery life and takes some getting used to

References + Study

Magic Poser [ PC and Mobile ] Has both free and paid versions, I've made do with just the lite version before

Artpose ($9.99) [Iphone + Steam]

Head Model Studio [IPhone] A 3D head, with both a basic blockout version for angles, and a paid version with more detail

Cubebrush [simply search "[keyword] pose reference pack"], they usually have good results + they frequently have sales!

Line of Action [Good for Gesture practice + daily sketching], also has other resources built in.

Quickposes Similar to Line of action, more geared toward anatomy

Drawabox | Perspective Fundamentals Improvement modules (Suggested by @taffingspy )

Sketchfab, this skull in particular is useful, but there is other models that can help you study anatomy as well.

Pinterest can be good, you just have to be careful, usually you're better off just finding reference pack if you have the money, sometimes certain creators have freebies as well

Artstation Marketplace can be decent [make sure to turn on the Aye-Eye filter so it doesn't feed you trash], a colleague of mine recommended this head model for practicing facial blocking, there is also this free version without lighting.

Local Art Museums [Unironically good for studying old "master work" if you're into that, or even just getting some inspiration]

Brushes + Other Useful software:

I personally have used both of these brush packs before making my own

(I actually don't know how to share my daily brush set because I frequently switch between Krita, Procreate, and ASP, but once I figure that out I'll be sure to do that lol)

Marc Brunet's Starter brush pack [Technically free but supporting him for this if you like it is ideal, there's some good brushes]

Dave Greco Brush Pack [$3]

Gumroad in general is a good place to find brushes and art resources. *Note; for Krita specifically, brush packs are a bit weird, so it may require you to find different packs, or import them in a particular way

PureRef [PC] - Reference Compiler/Moodboarding

VizRef ($3.99) [iPad] - Moodboarding/Reference Compiler

Artist Youtubers/Creators that helped me improve/guide me along as a self-taught artist from when I first started digital art to where I am today:

Proko

Marco Bucci

Sinix Design

Sycra

Hardy Fowler

Lighting Mentor

Winged Canvas

Moderndayjames

Swatches

Chommang_drawing

Marc Brunet (YTartschool)

+ Observing a lot of speedpaint art by people whose work I enjoy on social media/youtube, trying to dissect their processes

If you've gotten this far, first of all, congrats, you can read a lot, and second of all, thank you for reading and I hope this helps! I'll continue to come back and update this if I find any new resources in the future, or if my processes change :)

Much Love,

ART RESOURCES BELOW

fuck gatekeeping resources lets go !!!

also note that sometimes brushes will be free and then cost money afterwards. if something i list as free is no longer free PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN FIX IT

REGULAR ART:

program I use: clip studio paint [ +wacom tablet i've had for like 5 years now ]

primary brush: everything by ayeoops | procrate version ! - PAY WHAT YOU WANT

the other brush i use sometimes: bulasi from this pack- PAY FOR

other brushes used are default CSP brushes and usually what I go with for chibi lineart: either real g-pen or g-pen - free w/ program

bunny lace/patterning: right here! FREE

studding: RIGHT HERE BABEEEYYY ! FREE

plank texture: here !! free

I will try to update this as I actually use different brushes bc I have tons and it's random on if I actually use them or not loll this list would be so long and filled with brushes I never use if I just put them all here.

PIXEL ART:

program I use: Aseprite

default everything, likely won't be downloading custom assets for it ... but if I make my own I'll put them here !!

suggested art program if you don't have the money on a license/are not having fun in your art program: KRITA. entirely free, i know people who have switched to it from their old industry/freelance standard. you can purchase it on steam to support the creators and get early access to features, but otherwise, you lose nothing by only using the free one!

[also, if you can't afford a tablet, medibang paint pro is also free and messing around with the settings will let you draw on it nicely with a mouse !! i used this before getting a tablet and again after my first tablet broke and I had to wait for my current one ! just take care of your fingers lol ]

[windofbloom]

I think this year I could get back, more or less, to what my drawing speed used to be before last year. I've been more motivated and focused on one single project instead of random ideas floating around. I'll try to focus on just two projects or side projects related to them. It's easier this way.

Also, I switched from drawing on my desktop with my already old XP-Pen Pro to drawing with a Samsung S6 Lite, though I didn't change my usual program. I tried with Ibis Paint, Infinite Painter, Krita, and that Procrate clone on Android, but in the end I came back to Clip Studio Paint.
