Thank you to Clip Studio Paint for sponsoring this video and supporting the channel! In this video, I will be leading a tutorial on how I digitally paint with Clip Studio Paint. This process involves sketching, refining, mini paintings, greyscale paintings, how I use gradient maps, layer modes, and my "throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks" rendering style. I hope you are able to learn a trick or two through this video and that you fall more in love with painting. Thank you for watching !

    as a completely self-taught artist I often struggle to find videos that aren't for super-beginners that are really helpful for me. this video is literally a goldmine and I'm so glad I found it!! thank you for your literally constantly amazing content<333 (like I literally have a half-finished sketch painting because I couldn't figure out how to compose the background, a GODSEND I tell you!!!)
  • i adore how you can really see their personalities in this!! saul being such a happy golden retriever type while bill seems more reserved and hesitant to show his emotions!!
