![]() ![]() Thanks to working with Sketchbook Pro, I have a better understanding of what the various tools do. It makes working digitally as natural as working with traditional media.Īs I’m familiar with the Affinity suite of programs from Serif, working out what the different menus and tools, which are similar to Photoshop, wasn’t as confusing as it would’ve been in the past. Keyboard shortcuts are available, but I prefer to use my pen directly on the screen as I work. Everything is done easily and simply through the quite minimalist, yet powerful, tool bars and menus. I love the intuitive and rather beautiful interface of the software, the menus on screen and the colour and brush ‘pucks’. I’ve long been a fan of Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, and that isn’t going to change. What is different is the user interface more than anything else. I think it’s impossible to tell the difference between the colouring I’ve achieved with both programs. So, these are my first impressions of Clip Studio Paint and a comparison with Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. I spent yesterday afternoon, and a bit of this morning, colouring part of the template above in Clip Studio Paint. The bottom part of the template above was coloured in Clip Studio, the top part in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. Yesterday, I thought I’d give Clip Studio Paint a go. ![]() What makes your soul shine? Take time today to indulge your soul in activities that let it do so. I feel my heart fill with some warmth and a sense of lightness.Ĭreating art, including mandalas, lets my soul shine. I look at the finished mandala and I smile, gently. Nice warm, comforting, gently glowing colours.įinally, I created some drop shadows for the text and mandala. Then, I created a layer of creamy, orange-yellow tones to highlight the line art. I think it’s that colours seem to almost glow against it. But when it was finished, I wanted to use a background and a monochrome colour scheme. In that vein, I decided to draw the mandala in black on white. I can focus on the relaxing, soothing process and on being creative. There’s also the removal of the frustration that is caused by an error or a smudge. By using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro’s symmetry tools, it streamlines the process for me. It’s a familiar process and I can create a mandala that is complex and detailed, or simple, and the calming, relaxing effect is the same. Mandala creation makes me smile inwardly. Today, that meant a mandala and a quote that is quite appropriate for this morning. Sunday morning is always a time to breathe, relax and create something easy and pleasurable to do. nurturing kind of time to shake off the lingering wisps of stormy clouds. So, the rest of today is going to be a quiet. There was an emotional storm brewing and it the headache was the torrential downpour that was needed to clear the skies by forcing me to take care and shelter myself. Emotionally, however, I feel a lot better than I have the past few days. That’s mainly due to a really poor night’s sleep. Today, I’m still feeling somewhat tired and fragile. I chose a colour palette of soft pinks and greens, colours that are related to self-love, self-care, balance and harmony. So, I chose one design, popped it into Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, and used it to inspire this particular pattern. Rather than save the patterns, I saved the tiles as so many of them looked like perfect inspiration for mandalas. Repper is a browser app that is great fun to play around with and makes the creation of tiling patterns from my artwork so simple. As I was coming around from yesterday’s headache, I plopped yesterday’s drawing into Repper to see what geometric patterns and tiles I could create. ![]()
