Amika's Clip Studio Pencilbox by amika

I put together an experimental collection of brushes for Clip Studio Paint based on markers and pencil crayons and the way they layer/resist when used overtop one another. You can grab them for free here!

Some pages out of the sketchbook I just finished filling up. I scanned the whole thing last night (32 spreads is so many scans) and I’ve been messing around with the idea of just compiling it into a 1:1 unedited reproduction and releasing it digitally, or as a little zine or something.

Some sketchbook stuff from the past week - I’m travelling right now, so most of it’s going up on Twitter, but I have plans to clean up and colour some stuff once I’m back in Vancouver.

Sketching while playing Skyrim.

I finally did a nice scan of this. It’s an old test page from a comic I wound up not running with, but I liked worldbuilding this medieval forest town with knights and you know I’ll take any excuse to draw flowers on everything.

Hi, I really like your Straylight comic. The panel layouts and color choices are super nice. What is that texture overlay you have on the pages? It's like a halftone/film-grainy look, and I think it works well with your comic style.

thanks! i did a tutorial a while back on how to get those textures: http://belovedlights.tumblr.com/post/97010688486/tutorial-hey-amika-how-did-you-get-that-texture though i think these days i’d use it a bit more sparingly
