Lettering Comics in Clip Studio Paint – A Workshop/Presentation

On Feb 1, 2024 at 6 pm EST, I’ll show you how to letter your comics in Clip Studio Paint, why good lettering in comics matters, where to download fonts, and so much more!

There will be a Q&A section at the end of the presentation, as well, for the audience to ask questions.

Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel for upcoming workshops and tutorials!

I have other tutorials available for you to watch, including working with Affinity Publisher to format books AND Tips and Tricks for Clip Studio Paint: What I’ve Learned so far.

By the way, the Zine Club Pledge Drive is about to launch on KickStarter! Get first dibs when I launch by signing up for notifications.

Drawing Beefcakes – A Live Stream

Today at 7 pm EST, I’m drawing beefcakes! Including Halsin and Karlach from Baldur’s Gate 3, Ganondorf from Legend of Zelda, Dragonball Z villains, and many more.

The good news is – many of these beefcakes will be available as phone wallpaper downloads! Head over to my Ko-Fi shop to get them. Many of these are free, but tips are appreciated!

If you want more freebies, like comics and other exclusive downloads, you can sign up for my email newsletter. I also have two webcomics you can read for free online – The Legend of Jamie Roberts, and (a co-creation with CB as writer) Validation.

Also, I’m running a workshop/presentation on February 1, all about how to letter comics in Clip Studio Paint! The workshop is free to attend and will be streamed on YouTube. Be sure to stay tuned for future workshops, such as how to draw muscles (like the ones these beefcakes have, am I right?).

And finally, don’t forget that this is the LAST CALL to back CATS: A Sketchbook on Crowdfundr! It’s my latest art book collecting sketches I drew for Inktober of 2023. Back it before it’s gone!

That’s all for now. Thank you for watching!

You. Are. Awesome.

CATS: The Sketchbook is NOW LIVE on Crowdfundr!

this is the header for CATS: The Sketchbook, now on Crowdfundr. We see the title card witha paw print in the A of CATS. We also see a cat man with tuxedo-patterned fur in a pinstripe blue suit, bowing and winking to the viewer.

They’re cute, cuddly little goblins who steal your food and your hearts. It’s CATS!

BEHOLD! I have put together an art book full of cat sketches I drew during the Inktober challenge of 2023!

WHY

I got the idea at Small Press Expo when someone came up to my table and spotted The Stars of Fantasyville (my 2022 Inktober sketchbook). They saw Duchess, my black cat character on the front and flipped through it. And they said, “Oh I thought the whole book was cats.”

And I said, “That’s my NEXT book!” So I made it happen.

I had been meaning to make an art book of cats for a while, anyway, and that was the signal I needed to make it happen.

HOW

With YOUR help, because I don’t have the budget to print these books on my own.

Thanks to a generous patron on Ko-fi, I DO have about $70 saved back for this project. Which is enough to cover the books getting shipped to me. Here’s a breakdown of what we still need to make this happen:

this outlines our stretch goals for CATS: A Sketchbook on Crowdfundr. At $105 raised, we can print and ship 20 books. At $155 we can print and ship 20 books PLUS get a new book display. There are two other goals outlined

I’m not getting an ISBN or barcode for this book to keep the circulation small. As cute as the idea is, I don’t expect this book to pop up at Barnes & Noble or something similar. CATS is more of an art zine. Let it be a collector’s item!

As for shipping to backers, Crowdfundr has shipping costs as a separate line item in the budget. So I can just ask for the goal, but still get the funding needed to ship stuff because it’s handled separately! It’s kooky compared to KickStarter, but it works.

“Who’s printing the book?” you might ask.

We’re going to the same folks who printed The Stars of Fantasyville to print these CATS books…MIXAM! For art books, their print and paper quality is *chef’s kiss* marvelous. Plus they’re fast and budget-friendly, and their customer service is stellar.

WHEN

This campaign is only open for ONE WEEK and ENDS on Jan 18. For reasons why it’s so short, I go into it on the campaign page.

If you can, please consider pre-ordering your copy of CATS: A Sketchbook! We also have other rewards available, which you can pick and choose a la carte to make your reward bundles! Many of these rewards are digital, too, so if you’re international, I have you covered.

Broke? Share this campaign far and wide! Sharing is caring and helps more than you know.

We have UNTIL Jan 18 to make this happen!

That’s all for now. Thank you for your time and support!

You. Are. Awesome.
