how i put textures on my digital pieces a guide notes: this works for pretty much any kind of art, but seems to have the greatest mileage with flat graphic shapes. i'm 1000% sure there's easier ways to do this but this is how i do it

since i'm talking about zines today, go make one! preferably printed. collect sketchbook pages, loose drawings, writings, shitty comics. it will teach you about the feel of paper types, spread design, the psychological/narrative of montage. edit at the end. then make another one

Make a Terrible Comic Day is held every year on June 24, and this year, we're making one together! Join us that day for 60 minutes of focused working to lofi music, followed by sharing our work for 30 minutes after!

Scribbles come from Nibford's nib all over and around text that reads "Make A Terrible Comic Together! June 24th 4 AMPT / 7AM ET / 12PM GMT / 11PM AET."
