Hey!

So, today I wanted to touch on how I'm doing those concept sheets for the manga. This style is mostly a sketch in photoshop with slight refinement followed by some colors done in clip studio with final adjustments completed in photoshop. I like this style and approach because of the speed and the final look of it all - it feels traditional and a little warmer than I've been able to get across before. Things are a bit different this time around - I've been using Kyle T Webster's "Perfect Pencil" brush to do the initial pencils for all my sketches.

You can grab his brush pack here - you need an adobe account, but if you're already a subscriber they're up for download 

The brush I use for the colors in clip is attached to this post!

I hope this was helpful, I know a lot of artists already use the Kyle T Webster brushes - so, hopefully you already have this one. 

Thanks for all your support!

Dave

Question: Do you ever get soreness from the posture you sit in to make art for long periods of time? If so, how have you went about combating this?

Will this be available for download?

This new process was awesome to see! I'm loving the manga style. About Wacom pressure sensitivity: See if your system has something called Wacom Tablet Properties. It should allow you to save different settings for different programs. Maybe Cintiqs are different, but I can do this with my Intuos Pro.

Yes, sorry, I didn't have the ability to post the download link at the time, I'll have it up tomorrow though

Thanks for that, the only issue I have is the inking brush works better at a certain sensitivity while the painting brush works better at another all within clip. I'll figure it out though!

Only Adobe could make a website where you’re already signed in and it tells you to sign in, so you tap the link and it cycles you back to the page you were just at asking you to sign in again to download. I wonder why Flash died?

Got it figured out. For anyone working on iPad Pro, these Kyle brushes and all other Adobe brushes can be used in Procreate. Just drag and drop them in from Files to import them.

Hi Dave, just skimmed this for a bit and got to the pen sensitivity part. Not sure if you know this already but CSP has a native pen pressure controller via File > Pen Pressure Settings and I adjusted mine that way so I can retain my default tablet settings for Photoshop.

Hi Dave, I downloaded the Kyle brushes pack but there is no any called like "perfect pencil". Could you please confirm me the name?

I wonder if partly the reason your traditional-looking work gets more interest is because it’s easier for people to understand and respect the work that goes into them. Almost everyone has picked up a pencil and made a mark on a piece of paper at some point, so they have a basis to go off. Perfect digital pieces are harder to understand the work that goes into them maybe? Also seeing famous characters drawn in a “media” people haven’t seen them in before might also have something to do with it. It’s interesting!

i dont know if someone answered or if you discovered but there is a brush called like that in the general pack that you download, search in the pencil folders and you will find.
