On the bus throwing down some anatomy practice! If you are new to learning anatomy, you might be frustrated that your drawings aren’t “pretty”. These here aren’t particularly elegant. But with these sketches I’m concentrating on remembering and practicing structure, not appeal. Like with writing poetry, this is just a collection of random words that will come together when it’s time to write something more elegant 👍🏼 https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsmwOmB3Wh/?igshid=9fmo7xy6hhef

One of my goals for 2019… get better at walk cycles! Here’s a quick progression on a standard 12-drawing cycle to kick it off. It’s always good to trace your arcs and make sure the big motions are fluid.

Hey fellow artists! I just posted a quick overview of my Clip Studio Paint workspace and shortcut setup. (YouTube.com/reubenlara)This is a great start for those of you coming from Photoshop or Procreate and who'd like a similar approach to shortcuts but want to take advantage of CSP's amazing customizeability. Hope it's helpful! . #clipstudiopaint #clipstudiopaintapp #photoshop #digitalpainting #ipadart #ipadproart #digitalart #procreate #digitalbrush #digitalbrushes #painting https://www.instagram.com/p/BsRjiLDhZsW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lrkco14wfx3z

“Come on Copper... get outta the way” - at the mechanic waiting for an oil change and found an old treasure... a well worn VHS of “The Fox and the Hound”! So many childhood memories wearing out my own video tape when I was little. Featuring the work of the amazing @johnpomeroyart , this movie was an early inspiration for my art career. Currently enjoying day-old coffee, sitting on a dirty rug and loving it. #foxandthehound #disneyclassic #vhs

Wolf Running - Had a blast painting this one. I set a timer for 15 minutes to see how much I could get done in that first sprint. Then spent another 15 doing some polishing and form building. Check out the full 30 minute session on my YouTube channel! (youtube.com/reubenlara) It's such a great way to learn to exercise restraint, observe accurately, and only paint what's important. Enjoy! . Wolf Running is also available as a high res download in ArtBag03 (https://gum.co/artbag03) . #clipstudiopaint #clipstudiopaintapp #photoshop #digitalpainting #ipadart #ipadproart #digitalart #wolf #animalart #wolfart #natureart #nature

Baseball Mitt - I love painting leather! I think because anything made out of leather takes a lot of hard work, and it shows (including cows). . Check out my latest YouTube video (YouTube.com/reubenlara) where I set a timer for 15 minutes to see how much I can accomplish in a short amount of time! Using my powerful Sculpt Brush, I lay in the major forms and planes. It's such a great way to learn to exercise restraint, observe accurately, and only paint what's important. Enjoy! .

It’s over! A super fun World Cup. Now I can get my evenings back again. 👏🏼😆 . #worldcup #soccer #sketch #procreateapp

I think that the scapula/clavicle relationship is one of the most cleverly designed parts of our skeletal anatomy - sometimes I get obsessed with drawing it over and over! . #anatomy #scapula #clavicle #sketch #sketch_daily

World Cup sketching- So many twisty positions... great practice! . #procreate #worldcup #soccer #sketch #sketching #anatomy #sports #digitalart

“First run” - nothing like an early run on fresh powder to clear your head! . Now part of ArtBag02 in case you want to print a high res version at your local print shop! Grab it at the link in bio. . I was inspired by watching Kevin Pearce @snowboardprocamp make a run down a mountain in Morzine, France. Take a 15 min work break and look up “snowboard pro camp epic mountain top in morzine” on YouTube and be amazed at the breathtaking scenery! . #snowboarding #powder #snowboard #snowboarder #snow #clipstudiopaint #clipstudiopaintipad #clipstudiopaintipadpro #clipstudiopaintapp #clipstudiopaintipadapp #clipstudiopaintipadproapp #photoshop #digitalpainting #ipadart #ipadproart #digitalart

I'm excited to announce a new primer for graphic novel coloring! In this hour-long course (broken down into about 10 stages), I detail best practices for various stages of lighting a scene. I start with preparing your line work, show how to properly "flat" your base colors, and demonstrate how to layer in various lighting passes toward a completed panel. . Skillshare: https://skl.sh/2tvcrtb Gumroad: https://gum.co/graphicnovel01 . Processes are shown in both Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop. I also provide action presets for both Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop that greatly speed up this workflow. . I'm really happy about getting this course out the door, and plan on following up with a few more demonstrations and lessons on the topic of graphic novel production. Enjoy!# . TOPICS INCLUDE: 1. Creating transparent line art (watch this for free at http://youtube.com/reubenlara) 2. Adding flats 3. Assigning colors 4. Import actions 5. Adding shadows 6. Adding lights 7. Light effects 8. Color shifts 9. Additional base color details . #clipstudiopaint #clipstudiopaintapp #photoshop #digitalpainting #ipadart #ipadproart #digitalart #graphicnovel #comic #graphicnovelart #comicart #lineart

“All in” - I got inspired by classic J.C. Leyendecker brushwork, and this piece has a strong brushed-in vignette that keeps it bold and with lots of motion. . High res art available in ArtBag 02!

Summer goals - nothing like spending some time outside learning some tunes! . Trying to stay fast and loose in the deep shadow areas. I’m loving my Sculpt brush in Clip Studio Paint that’s really helping me mix in grays and cools where I need them. . Will be adding this to ArtBag 02 this weekend so if you’d like to have the high res file of this (for creating art prints) for less than the price of a burger than be sure to nab the Art Bag before it goes up one whole whopping dollar! 😄 (link in bio). . #sunmerfun #summertime #summer #summerjam #guitar #music #relaxing #clipstudiopaint #clipstudiopaintapp #photoshop #digitalpainting #ipadart #ipadproart #procreateapp #procreate #digitalart
