So I have been looking for ways to grow myself as an artist over the past few months, obviously. I have been very successful, I think, when it comes to most categories. I’ll be creating and posting tutorials on my Patreon account in the next few weeks, and I really feel I have a lot I have learned about both drawing as well as my toolset (MangaStudio) that’ll be really worth sharing.

A place I really need work, though, is in coloring. I was never a very good “analog” painter back in high school. I could never mix colors well. Things haven’t really changed in the realm of digital painting. I find color mixing and color choice to be an almost impossible task for me. I’ll be on the lookout for some good digital painting tutorials, particularly ones that use MangaStudio as a platform. I feel like I need help bad, and it’s actually starting to hold back my art.

In the meantime I’m going to try my hand at the many different tone options that MangaStudio offers. Maybe doing some black/white work is what I need to be doing? Let’s find out!
