Ria: part 2. wonky eyes and nose but that's ok. at least it looks three dimensional. could have been bolder with shading under the mouth but I'm not that confident with pen yet. shading textures were consistent until I grew impatient but it still turned out better than I though it would.

Ria: struggles with pen; challenging my tendency to go too hard; challenging myself to plan ahead etc. part 1. stay tuned to see if I'll ruin it yet.

Ria: pen tool experiment

[helpfulharrie]

Hey, just saw that light/shadows post of yours. While that's cool and all, I'm here wondering how you drew those (seemingly) very straight and clean diagonal lines in your diagrams (both the 3D object and the dashed lines). Was this in Clip Studio/Manga Studio where there are built in tools for this, or did you use some kind of witch magic in Photoshop? Was it as effortless as it looks, or did you do the Photoshop rain dance of getting diagonal lines?

most of them were drawn free-hand :p Being able to draw straight lines is a good skill to have, so just practice!

It’s easier to push straights than it is to pull them,

It’s also better if you draw from your elbow & your shoulder rather than from your wrists. You can draw very long lines if you’re moving your entire arm!

Anyway the only lines which weren’t free hand are the dashed lines here:

to do those i just held down the shift key,

which will work in any program, although you probably won’t get the visual guide if you’re not working in clip studio paint!
