I have just not had the determination to draw in a while and there’s a number of reasons for it. I thought this would feel good to get something done but it doesn’t look even remotely like how I wanted it to and I’m just so tired.
Mostly I miss using Photoshop, but Photoshop’s gotten pretty awful lately. I drew this in Clip Studio Paint which is good for some things but some of the tools are just so fussy. Maybe I need to bring it back to basics.
EDIT: Before recommending programs to me, please read these detailed blog posts I wrote:
In particular, please don’t recommend Krita or GIMP. I know a lot of people love those. I have very completely ruled them out for my needs.
