Tips of the Month
Thank you for your posts!
Out of the Tips posted between June 1 to June 30, 2020, the writers of the following will be rewarded a cash prize or GOLD!
The themes this round were "hand gestures," "creating and using textured brushes," and "original animations with sound." "Hand gestures" saw many tips that introduced not only the basic hand structure and how to draw it, but also hand expressions. The textured brushes theme saw detailed instructions on how to make brushes, as well as some of those brushes being available on Clip Studio Assets. So not only could we learn how to customize brushes but try out the brushes from the tutorials too! Finally, "original animations with sound" saw unique animations with characters talking and other sound effects to make the animation work even more appealing. Submissions for the next Tips of the Month have already started! We’re looking forward to your entries!
