Hello Mieau, would you mind to give a tour of the art materials you use? xo

Yeah, sure! Let me see, here is what I mostly use: For digital art I love to draw with Clip Studio Paint, paired with Photoshop for touch-ups and preparing files for printing. My tablet is a Wacom Intuos Pro medium. I also have an Ipad pro with a CSP subscription, that I use sometimes.

For traditional art recently I'm mostly just sketching but my favorite brand of sketchbook is definitely Maruman! The pages are very thin so it's a good reminder that a sketchbook has to be used in a lighter way, it can't be perfect. I have different sizes!

Pencil-wise I like to use Kurutoga (it's a brand of mechanical pencils that automatically rotates the nib, so you go trough them more efficiently). Basic kneaded eraser. And for book signings I use Faber Castell Polychromos (they are very hummm... "soft"?) for a nice colored under-sketch paired with some fine nib permanent black marquer!

Hi, I just wanted to ask you something if it's no problem to ask.

I really like the old comic feeling your arts have and I would like to know which brushes, textures and color palletes you use? Or any advices for that type of art and where I could possibly find sources that could help learn about.

Hiya!

I draw in procreate and use these products from Retro Supply

And recently I bought KraftTone by True Grit Texture Supply which has an identical halftone system to Colorlab, but I wanted to know the difference. That being KraftTone has their CMY values (slightly) darker to give a gritty feel compared to Colorlab who gives you brighter color.

Before either of these products were available I used Debaser by True Grit Texture Supply. Instead of mixing your own halftone colors, Debaser has them ready to go. Just import the color file and brush in where you want the color. I still use this when I’m lazy or don’t wanna put in the extra effort 😅 (it still looks great tho!).

All these products come included with textured paper, inkers, distress effects and color chart references all of which I use in my art. 👍 These are all available for photoshop, illustrator, and Affinity. And I think right now only KraftTone is available for Clip Studio Paint. I can go into more depth about these products if you want to in another post.

If you don’t know about the comic color process and print here’s a quick article that will help you understand better.

You can find comic references anywhere. I get mine from Pinterest! Searching “vintage/retro comics” will give you a plethora of images that you can click through and get more similar images or find neat websites like this one!

Details I take note of when starting a piece:

If the colors and blacks will be vibrant or faded

If the print will be clean or bleeding and shifted ( or if I’m using halftones at all or solid color)

If the comic will have an overall yellow tint from age

How will I ink the lineart

There isn’t really a guide that teaches you how to achieve every single iteration of comic style. You get your lineart and halftones down and from there you experiment with effects depending on what look you want to achieve, which is the fun part imo. But on the retro supply website under “resources” they offer tutorials how to achieve various effects and art styles.

If you plan on mixing your own halftones it’s easier color it like normal then translate that color to halftones. The products I use all offer a solid color palette to the corresponding halftones to make the process easier because it does get a tad confusing especially if you forget what color formula you were using ( it’s a pain to match the colors tbh b/c they’re not labeled), I should pre color my stuff, but I don’t and I end up fumbling over myself. Lol.

Hope that helped some! Cheers!

An Artist's Friend: "Mr. Initial Man"

If you guys ever need a way to reference differing heights, I recommend the online tool by the listed name up there. It really helps you decide how your shorter characters should stand alongside your taller ones, like it being especially helpful with determining Claire's small size against all other characters.

It's just a simple search away, so no need for me to really link it; just type it into your search engine, it'll be the first result that pops up.

The Fierce and Furry Face of My Beloved Zelda

Capturing the Personality of My Grumpy Cat Zelda in Digital Art As a proud cat mom, I couldn’t resist drawing my Calico cat Zelda’s intense and grumpy little face. This furry feline has a ton of personality and loves nothing more than sleeping, cuddling, and giving everyone in the room a judging stare. But despite her sassy attitude, I can’t help but adore her and capture her likeness in my…
