Getting Comfortable with Clip Studio Paint

I had several extended blocks of time for work because I moved my Thursday weights workout to Friday. My morning time is usually fragmented by some sort of workout — sometimes cardio, sometimes weights. I have no blocks of time more than 45 minutes long to concentrate on my book. But today, by skipping the weights workout, I had three solid hours in the morning and three in the afternoon. It felt good! I’m going to change my workout schedule so that I do cardio and weights on the same day, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I’ll have solid blocks of time for work on Tuesday and Thursday.

I like to post my rough sketches to remind myself that my work goes through an ugly stage and gets better as I pull it all together. It takes all of my will power to not start inking and rendering and coloring.
