A geeky blog about nerdy things

[rtilrtil]

Late last year I wanted to start a series of short tutorials called Tip Jar, as a way of saying thanks to my fans and giving back to my patrons. This is the first of the series I have made, showing my technique on quickly filling in lineart so you can get to painting without coloring outside the lines faster. 

Someday I hope to turn these into video tutorials when I have the income and the time, but for now I hope that I will be able to share useful tips in this infographic format.

This is exactly how I do my flats.

This is how I do my flats! Really quick and easy!

Worth sharing because this is exaaaaactly how I do my flats!  I get this question all the time when I post my process videos, and this explains it far more succinctly than I ever could. :)

Doing this on SAI is a little different, but same concept! Instead of “expand image” you’ll want to increment once or twice, then invert it. And then you’re good to go!

Garnet can see the future, and the future is full of messes and fake baby wrestling.

That comic I told people I would do one day has happened. It is a little rough at first. It is way before I nailed a definite style down. It's a slice of life comic comedy that follows a group of characters and the misadventures they get into. Warning. There will be tons of references. Follow it at

Also follow sketches, doodles, at my instagram

Tips for dealing with Designers:

1: Don’t belittle the skill and effort it takes to make designs.

2: Don’t assume you can do what we spent years trainings to do just because you took one class in high school or college way back when. (unless you’re a prodigy)

3: Don’t expect good results from vauge, unrealistic requests.

4: Don’t try to worm your way out of paying when its clear you can. (charities excluded)

Now I realize some people not might realize what they are saying is rude and I am willing to forgive your ignorance, but if you talk like this to a designer you are a jerk.

For the folks over at Clientsfromhell.net whose horror stories (submitted by anonymous designers, photographers and other various professions both creative and not) have inspired this comic. This comic is for you.
