Just tweaking a thumbprint brush I created in CSP along with some other inking tests.
Category: Sketchbook
Inspired by PJ Holden’s thumbprint brush for CSP I created a very simple spiral brush to play with some shading. Gotta say it’s a really nice effect that instantly improved the solid blacks on this.
Just a wee colouring practice page cobbled together from old head sketches in CSP. I inked and coloured the heads individually spending about 20 to 40 mins on each until I filled the page.
A wee 2021 sketchdump… sadly, not much time for drawing this year.
Quite a few months between these but I had fun with the Audrey II sketches… Feeeeeed me Seymour!!!
Been feeling a little aimless with my inking this last year, a little bored with the lines I’m putting down. This page was an attempt to concentrate on pencilling again, to shake the rust off.
Very quick fan art of Matt Garvey from back in October, drawn in procreate.
Some other stuff from the sketchbook…
I’ve put together a 16 page collection of drawings and illustrations from the last two years, check it out below or download the free pdf.

Some inking practice in clip studio paint using the real g-pen (one of the default brushes supplied with the app). The aim of the exercise was essentially to improve my digital drawing by limiting myself to using only one brush. I love the default brushes in CSP and the real g-pen is one of my favourites. This page was completed over a couple of weeks by adding a few heads at a time usually for about 20 to 40 mins.
I had the urge to colour some of these and tried out a few palettes and added some rendering.
I’m pretty pleased for the most part with my work from the last few weeks, I tried some new working methods and I gotta say I’m really enjoying inking at the moment.
Started off the month with a #MonsterMayhem art challenge prompt. I began inking without really figuring out the structure of the horns but the colouring was a lot of fun and I even added a little noise to the background for some texture.
Kermit turned 65! YAAAAAAAAY!!! The perfect opportunity to try out Matty B’s big wet set in procreate.
I LOVE this set! there’s sooo much variety and the included overlay layers are just amazing, a real quick and easy way to apply subtle textures.
I’ve also been using this inking brush set by Juan Albarran available now on gumroad for clip studio paint, favourites so far include the main brush, dry brush and rake brush.
Here’s some quick tests using the set:
Big F@#k off Worms fan art sketches…
Fan art sketches of X-365 created by Neill Cameron.
Legacy of Kain sketches.
Current lockdown mood…
Totti (J Francis Totti) & Forpe (Darrell Thorpe) have been streaming their work daily on Twitch:
If you’ve never seen it they chat about all things comics while working on their latest projects Big F@#k off Worms & Baron and the Kat.
Here’s some fan art of the guys drawn in clip studio paint.
#AlienDay sketches drawn in CSP using mostly default inking tools to get those nice chunky inks and colours.. that xenomorph blood sure is acidic!
