This is an InDesign exercise I did for the graphic design course I'm doing at the moment. Not sure if this counts or not. It's technically visual art but it was really just a copying exercise. Hopefully I should have something better tomorrow.

Also lmao apparently a lot of fonts just don't come with newer computers? I had to find a substitute for Rockwell and Franklin Gothic. I thought I had boned myself by not getting an MS Office licence when I got this laptop but the fonts I needed weren't included in the most recent version available to buy ANYWAY so... ╮(─▽─)╭

I feel bad I've been neglecting this so much! I've been doing so much studying for my graphic design course. Today though I've been rounding out my Manga Studio 5 brushes into a little family. If you use MS5 it's available here for free!

Here's a lil test I did to figure out how I wanted the more rendery* brushes to work.

*The brushes aren't intended to do anything super render-y, I made them so I could add simple shading to lineless stuff but if you're able to do anything more detailed please show me your results!

Drawn using MS5's symmetrical ruler tool.

Done using my phone camera as a mirror. (i posted this before with the prior days entry but i was able to get a late submission entry, just in case you liked this already and you're confused that's what happened!)

I've been absent for the past couple days b/c I've been doing a graphic design course. I whipped this at break during the Indesign module. (it was posted already for the 21st but I was able to get a late submission form so here it is in the proper day).

im actually a lot cuter irl jsyk

My guacamole recipe seemed pretty popular when I posted the text of it to twitter so I decided to dust off an unfinished recipe comic and finish it up. My recipe has changed a good deal since I last worked on it (it no longer has coriander for one) so I'm glad I sat on this for so long.

Speaking of recipe comics I posted an old comic I worked on for a zine that came out a while ago. You can see that on my tumblr here. Anyway I'm pretty happy with the amount of progress I was able to make with this especially since it had stalled for so long. Sometimes you just need to walk away from something for like a month and then it clicks! Previously it was either going to be a two page thing with the method on page two or a long image but I just added the sidebar on the right and that fit perfectly with what I wanted to do. I will probably end up making the sidebar wider than it is now because I haven't tried fitting in the text yet but that's easily doable.

Here's a comparison with the old layout.

Bear in mind that the text is from the old image (the recipe has changed a good deal).

Just a first pass for a self portrait/introduction meme thing that's been going around. Obviously I want to look like I'm actually struggling under all that weight. I definitely draw stiffly and it's something I want to work on going forward.

Finally recovered the work I lost on this. No idea how I lost the layer information though. :/

Made this in about 5 minutes. I need to utilize my time a lot better. There are a lot of projects I want to work on and I hate having art time squeezed in an the end of the day. Having said that I am pretty happy with how this turned out.

My friend Lauren has been doing a lot of pixel art which I've liked a lot and has made me want to get back into trying to learn GraphicsGale. This was just a quick lil thing but I really enjoyed it and want to make more. Good lord do I hate not having CMYK sliders tho, lmao.

Got mad at myself that I lost the layer information for a thing I've been working on (the previous thing I posted here) so I made this to feel a bit better.
