Personal Tools|Interesting things

Here you will find my personal arsenal to create my artworks and also some cool suggestions of useful tools as well.

Basically, I use Clip Studio Paint as my main software for drawing and image manipulation. Sometimes I just use a regular photo editing app to some touches but is very rare - I don't have money for photoshop <(＿　＿)>

Other software programs that I recommend are:

• Krita - maybe not recommended for pro work
• Photoshop

In CSP I use this workspace that is very clean, I will link the original one, but I change it a little bit.

About brushes is basic, one for almost everything (painting/rendering/sketching) - Soul -, another for line work - DM -, and some other tools to enhance the quality of the work.

So, if you check my artwork you probably notice that my main brush is called Soul, that is just a copy of Sol brush. I modified it to use for transitions as well. Basically I turned on the dynamics of opacity and density (flow). That's giving me more control of the brush, and able me to use it to build colour and shading.

Also have to mention some other tools that are equally useful for digital artwork. The first one is obviously Pure Ref. If you don't know it, best you do!! It's just an amazing program that allows you to put references in front of everything. It helps a bunch. --> HERE <--

The other one is Glaze. This program is great if you are afraid of AI getting your art to training their machines. Of course, you can say, I'm not a big artist to be afraid of that. Well, you would be right, except of the point of copyright. Your art is yours and no one has the rights to use it without permission, with that said, feel free to use this shield. - Also read more about Glaze on their site. Is pretty interesting.  --> HERE <--
