Moving on to the Reading Comics Picture -- The Boys Meet Betty Burro

Today I began work on the next picture in my children’s picture book. This picture shows the boys reading comics with Betty Burro, their new friend.. Behind them a flight of swallows is reading over their shoulder.

Yesterday I bought Frenden’s 800+ Clip Studio Brush pack. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to avoid brain freeze when I sort through the blizzard of brushes that “mega” brush packs throw at me. I consider myself fortunate if I can find one good pencil, one good ink pen, and a decent textured paintbrush for every 1,000 brushes I try. The best brushes I know of are the Frankentoon Procreate brushes, which I’ve mentioned before. I hoping that I’ll find — and be able to use to the best of my ability — a few good brushes in the Frenden brush pack.

And one more thing…I installed Clip Studio Paint Ex on my iPad Pro and signed up for the subscription, which give me a six-month free trial. There a big “but” — with the iPad there’s always the problem of using the rather dumb IOS file system to move files from the iPad to Windows. Apple should really put some thought into making the File App useful.
