I have to say, despite the less-than-friendly interface, Manga Studio (now known as Clip Studio Paint) is a fantastic piece of software. Once you get past the initial layout, the tools and brush engine are really impressive.
Here’s a drawing I made while testing it out—hope you’ll enjoy it! More experiments to come.
It’s been a while since I sat down to do a proper study, and every time I do, I’m reminded how valuable the practice is. There’s always something to learn, whether it’s about brushwork, structure, or just slowing down and observing properly.
This one is a study of John Singer Sargent’s 1906 self-portrait. A classic, and always a challenge.
Painted in Corel Painter, and for those who are curious about timing: it took exactly 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Hope you enjoy it.
