MOO-ving Right Along

Just finished my fourth and final promo piece for the year. Recently, Photoshop has been getting annoying with me, so with this illustration I actually did a good portion of the coloring using Manga Studio. This was my first real attempt at rendering using the new software so obviously it took some getting used to. Definitely some more experimentation with custom brushes and color modes needed but I wouldn't be at all surprised if I decided to go with Manga Studio all the time.

Playing Around

Recently, I've been playing around with different programs. Being a creature of comfort, it really took a bit of effort for me to get out of my Photoshop routine and try a new program. So this past week, I've worked with both Adobe Illustrator and Manga Studio, and I'm glad I did, I definitely made some discoveries and I think I made some real progress in being comfortable using them.

Here's a quick, B&W piece I did in Manga Studio. I was really impressed with the fluidity of the lines I was able to achieve with the program. I came see myself using this program if I ever needed to do more polished B&W illustrations.
