It has taken a little longer for me to compile some resources I’ve found due to other commitments but here we are for August. I might add to this more over the next few days as I go through my notes 3D Matcaps are useful things to have and make (for NPR and nice looks…
Here is another roundup of resources for digital art. Some free and some not so free. As usual I’m not affiliated with any of the resources I write about here and I haven’t been asked to mention them, I just want to. 3D I found a great hair curve brush for ZBrush by “artmonky“. There…
The point of this blog is (hopefully) to help like minded people find resources and inspiration to perhaps try new things. I am still learning how to do digital sculpting myself and I have written a few things about that on the blog. I started learning general 3D art skills in 2018 (perhaps I dabbled…
This PDF eBook has taken me a while to put together in between other art related and real life tasks I’ve been doing but I’ve decided to hit the publish button on it today. I do not think this will be a regular thing I will do but it was interesting to try a different…

Marbling using PD Howler and gradients…
Over the weekend I went down another rabbit hole of sorts finding out about an open source tool called Image Colour Transfer Processing by M RenzuIIo and T Johnson. There is a very informative Medium article they wrote here if you would like to learn more. Since it immediately reminded me of another tool I…
Another resource roundup post of random yet interconnected things in the world of digital art. Digital Painting Ramon Miranda is working on another set of brushes over at the Krita Artists forum. This time he is doing a coloured pencil variant for the pencil sketching brushes he made last year. I tried them out by…
I’ve been just as distracted by the festivities as most people around this time of year, but I thought I would squeeze another resource roundup post in. Tutorials Winter Wonderland Grant Abbitt makes a lovely winter wonderland scene using Blender 3.4. As a side note I did use this sort of approach recently for an…
It is starting to get colder here in Britain, the last few days have been grey and foggy. It is important to keep motivated and working on projects as well as look after your health and mental well being during these darker days. The articles here may slow down a bit for the winter as…
Disclaimer: This article is not sponsored by PD Howler. Over the last few weeks or so I have been looking at PD Howler 2023.3 and I will be writing some more articles going over the features in this interesting and versatile program. I will be honest, PD Howler has limitations with the layers not supporting…
I have found enough things of interest in the world of digital art and tech to write another one of these posts. Bit of a mixed bag this month. I haven’t put anything in any particular order, there are things for audio editing, digital art and business. Useful Apps and Software Ardour Ardour is an…
