It’s been awhile since I posted. I’m fairly proud of this page. I penciled it in Clip Studio and finished it with Copic Brush pens. Enjoy!

It has been quite a long layoff from this project, but I have some new tools, techniques and insights from ECCC. Here I made use of a line extraction tool from Clip Studio. Sure, it might be cheating to take a photo and just take the lines out of it, but this sort of thing […]
