I can’t quite reveal what this is actually for yet, but I wanted to share this drawing of Dinah in a sort of mock-up gig poster that I did recently! It was a good excuse to try some new things and switch up my process a bit—as much as I enjoy working in Clip Studio Paint on the iPad, I still feel most at home in Photoshop. For this piece, I wanted to experiment with some new brushes and techniques I hadn’t tried out in CSP so I did about half of it in Photoshop and the other half in Clip Studio, and I gotta say, I’m pleased with the end result.

Would you guys be interested in a post dedicated to my favorite Photoshop and/or Clip Studio brushes? How many of you are artists yourselves? It seems like every few months, the “brushes/tools don’t matter” discourse gets kicked up again on social media, and I’ve always had the opinion that brushes actually matter a lot! Sure, with enough skill and practice, you can do just about anything with the standard round brush in Photoshop, but why make life harder than it needs to be? 😆 Let me know if you’d like me to share a basic overview of my most-used digital brushes!

As a bonus, here are a couple HD phone wallpapers 💖 One with the lettering/design elements, and one without. (For personal use only, please!)
