only perceive this site on desktop, it's NOT optimized for mobile At All

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

CLIP STUDIO PAINT

great art program that you can get for a one-time payment (for the desktop version at least)! it's got everything i need to efficiently draw, plus 5000 other features completely alien to me. if you're looking for a solid art program that handles both illustration and comics pretty well, this one is my preferred software

FRENDEN BRUSH SET

LOOOOVE these Clip Studio brushes. there's so many good texture-y brushes here out of the Hundreds included. this pack costs money but it's well worth it, like 99% of the brushes i use are from this thing.

plus you get free updates for life!!

XPPEN ARTIST PRO 16
(GEN 2)

i switched to this tablet at the beginning of 2025 after using a Wacom Intuos for about 8 years

it's my first display tablet, so i don't know how it compares to other display tablets, but so far i've really enjoyed using it! we'll have to see how it holds up long-term

DRAWING GLOVE

a godsend for my sweaty hands. once you wear one you'll wonder how you survived before

drawing tablets sometimes come with drawing gloves included, but the glove linked here is a standalone glove that i like (and it comes in different sizes!)

JOYTOKEY

this little program is such a hidden gem. basically, it lets you map keybinds to controllers, so i use this bad boy to map Clip Studio keybinds to one of my joycons, which works SURPRISINGLY well as a little keyboard shortcut device??
way nicer than using my keyboard

SPYDERX PRO

if you wanna make sure that your monitor's colors are accurate to what they'll look like in print, this little device is REALLY useful. idk how it compares to similar products, since this is the only monitor calibration device i've used, but it makes my monitors look WAY nicer than when i used to calibrate them by hand
