A little sketch test with several pencils from the incredible Frenden Brushes set I just got myself for Clip Studio. It has every kind of brush I could possibly want for traditional-feel digital art, and was a steal at $14.99 on Gumroad! ♥♥♥

I played around with the Frenden CSP brushes last night and uuugh there are so many good ones. The ones above are (from left to right, top to bottom): pencils, inkers/pens, paint brushes, and fx brushes. They’re a lot of fun, and I’m especially impressed with those fx brushes.

Just picked up the Frenden brushes for CSP, so decided to sketch Sassassul from A Centaur's life to try them out. I really like them so far!
You can find the brushes here.
Adventures in trying to focus on something other than the special interest.
[Image description: three-panel vertical comic. Top panel is the artist in pajamas, lounging and reading a book. A black cat wearing a wide-brimmed hat and red scarf a la The Shadow walks on the back of the chair behind them, saying “I can’t help but notice you’re not paying attention to me.”
Middle panel has the cat sitting, butting its head and paws aggressively against the artist’s back, repeating “Hey” many times. The artist looks annoyed, saying “Do you mind?”
In the final panel the cat has now invaded the artist’s lap and is stretching its paws in the air. The artist has had to move their book and looks very annoyed now, yelling “GODDAMMIT I AM TRYING TO READ ABOUT ROBOTS.” The cat’s response is a larger “LOVE ME.”]

I want to give this piece a Pop Surrealist look. Art in this movement always look so dream-like and carefree even with gloomy subjects. I guess I just want to let go a bit, to digitally paint without logic even for a little while. Simultaneously, I did a few experiments. I want the textures to be as visible as possible. I work on a low resolution and re-size it depending on the level of details. I think it gets blurry in some places, but I’ll figure out a way to smooth it out. I used Frenden’s Painting and Wet Media Brushes for this. I’ve been on a texture exploration binge since last month.
