HELLO I BRING YOU ANOTHER CLIP STUDIO DISCOVERY 🙏
so apparently if you tap the layer of your choice while holding left ctrl, it will automatically select everything that is on the layer????? 🫢
I'm using version 3.0.4, but if someone uses earlier version, please let me know if it works for you too!

Where's the Floor
So lately when I do thumbnails for my comics, I play a game called "Where's the Floor". Basically, put a grid down to represent the surface plane.

I picked up this trick from watching animatics from "Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" from Nickelodeon. This leads me to this helpful trick, it's the grid pattern on the floor to show perspective.

Whether it is the floor or the ceiling, it's an easy way for me to know where the camera is in relation to the surface plane. Therefore, giving me an idea of how to draw the characters in that perspective. Also leads to dynamic shots and amazing high action scenes.







There was one other set of videos on youtube that uses their cameras pretty affectively, and that's a dance troupe from Russia.





You put a grid on the most important surface in that shot and it's basically the same principles!








Even their bird's eye camera, zoom ins made me think of shots taken in dancing scenes from Disney.


If you break down a shot from your favorite animated series, you can guess where the grid is, how it's tilted, and how the character should be in perspective to that.





Having this concept simplified really has helped with layout, perspective, and taking steps into more dynamic action scenes for me.

I've seen this trend where people would squish the face of their anime drawing to make it into the drawing's mouth, and I figured if I did that with Sonic the result would be a smile cause of that signature eyebrow curve
... a scowl. It came out as a scowl. Not that I'm complaining

See the difference?
Adding variating thickness to certain areas of your art-- like around silhouettes and bulky clothing-- helps give your art more depth and dimension. You can experiment with line weight if you feel like your lineart is too flat or missing a certain je nais se quois. It's a simple tip, but it's something my art has been complimented on numerous times for and does wonders in improving lineart!

testing art hacks!
tried using watercolour paint on top of graphite pencil drawing to prevent smudging/transfer, it did help to stop smudging and transfer onto the next page when I close my sketchbook but I find it does take away from the overall look

Don't post you art on Tumblr as PNGs!
Ok this is important: Tumblr, at least in my experience, will desaturate PNG images but not JPEGs! For proof here's screenshots of some of my art as both a PNG and a JPEG on Tumblr.
Top is PNG, bottom is JPEG. Notice the difference, especially on warm colors.





PNGs might be better for storing images but please upload them to Tumblr as JPEGs!

stupid simple artist hack: send your images to your phone to check their color. since phones are more regularly up to date and higher tech with screen usage, they are the best out-of-the-box calibration wise. I'm saying this to save future headaches with trying and failing to calibrate your personal monitors with bullshit programs and whatnot

Super fun art idea: Draw crumpled up pieces of paper until you either get better at drawing shadows and folds or your mind becomes numb to the idea of depicting tangible forms and you throw up

Here’s a useful tip for my fellow artists. When you have one cup for drinking and one for dipping your paint, make sure they’re in different kinds of cups. We’ve all had a moment where we accidentally put our brush in our tea or took a swig of Prussian blue. So make sure you use one with a handle and one without. Or perhaps one that you drink from a kid and straw, whatever your preference.
‘Cos when you’re getting into the zone you’ll reach for it without looking as muscle memory will take over. So it’s wise to have the two containers that need to be gripped differently. Like here, when I’m reaching for a drink, I know to reach for a handle, not pick up the whole glass.
