Okuha

I’m a digital artist who is passionate about anime and manga art. My true artist journey pretty much started with CTRL+Z. When I experienced that and the limitless color choices and the number of tools I could use with art software, I was sold. Drawing digital anime art is the thing that makes me happy among eating cheeseburgers in between veggie meals.

    Clip Studio Paint is currently at 3.0+ version, so it could be that you might need a newer version to be able to do the import.

    I suppose it's because screens are made of pixels. Do vector images created with Illustrator somewhat look pixelated while zoomed in? Idk. Try to zoom in and compare a line from Clip studio raster layer vs a line in vector layer, there should be a difference.

Ghibli is an Must and an inspiration as well as Ponoc and now the Suzume no tojimare movie that is another big tittle to follow and learn ( i watched 2 times in an row like ''yesterday and tomorrow'' the only movie i did it and i watched it about 5 times) I really loved your line so precise and lineart, how you reach this level of fast and precise curves on line?? Thank you for inspire me so much, i am learning alot with your videos. my goal is make visual novel game but i first need to learn fundamentals (doing right now) and shader (found your cell shade video super helpful) and many more until i get an good aceptable draw and paint to make VN games

    This video is super interesting. I’m a freelance graphic and motion designer since almost 10 years. I live almost exclusively by client work which can be quite exhausting and boring so I’m looking into other solutions to earn money. If I understand correctly your 2 main places driving your traffic are you blog and yt channel. Would you recommend one over another? At how much traffic you were able to reach mediavine?

    Yes, 2 main traffic sources are YT and my blog. When it comes to recommending one or another...that is too tough to say. YT has its own benefits and blog has its own. Blogging is harder than YT, but it's super passive and easy to outsource. YT is "easier" as a platform to get views, but it requires different kind of consistency. So it's all about what type of content production you enjoy the most. Mediavine required/require 50,000 sessions, approx. 60,000 pageviews/month

People value different things at different levels.
