non-exhaustive list of easy ways to start looking for things again if you ever stopped

-literally wikipedia
-catalog/review sites
-social media "webcomic" tag/keyword
-literally look through pages of artists you already follow

"But I don't know how!"

No. Some of you actively forgot how. Others never bothered to learn. Click away from the handful of websites you go to daily & just look around.

Don't make me pull an Aladdin & sing a legally distinct vers of 'A Whole New World'. My voice isn't ready for that. -.-

a screenshot of a clip studio paint dot cmc file, which is usually the management file for pages of a comic, but this time, magpie has pasted in a lot of fun paper textures and the first few pages appear to be full of various doodles

phones also: break, run out of battery, and phone bills are expensive with some folks only being able to pay for cell service and mobile data intermittently

not to speak of all the times the stupid proprietary app does not run on a phone that Does exist

please let people pay in cash

Commission for @nocturn02.bsky.social !

A rough brightly colored lineless piece of some kind of fantasy humanoid snail-slime-thing thats frowning in frustration. Theyre surrounded by candles on a dark background, the candles and their forehead emit a stark warm glow

you need to get comfortable with actively looking for things again, not having an active part in what media you come across and therefore even have a chance of seeing almost definitely is making you very unhappy

Reanimated Magpie @reanimatedmagpie.bsky.social · 6d

and of course: literally ask people who read webcomics

More folks should actively hunt for webcomics & support the creators.

I can only shout into the Void so much. I'm not on [MASSIVE WEBCOMIC SITES] 'cause I don't like their contracts.

I'm begging folks to meet me halfway here. I can't do your work & mine. This ain't a High School group project. -.-

another fun part of doing this is that at the end you can stitch this into a pdf and stick it into an actual pdf reader for optimal flipping through pages action. or even print it so it can live with your physical ones

Reanimated Magpie @reanimatedmagpie.bsky.social · 8d

obviously you dont really Actually need the fancy management file thing, it can just be intentionally assembled canvases in a folder if your program doesnt do this/doesnt do this in a way thats conducive, it just really fits the experience of flipping through pages in my brain

Reanimated Magpie @reanimatedmagpie.bsky.social · 8d

as a matter of fact i made one for one of my partners! they struggle with the blank page effect a lot and would really like to branch out from 'character in white void' so this might be nice maybe!

+ some sample palettes and random fun creature references outside the page area to get brain going

similar setup from before! this time instead of various paper colors its pale holographic and really dark pages alternating

this one has colors palettes and pictures of fun invertebrates/fish/mushrooms for extra visual reference as their setting takes a lot of inspiration from things in our world that fully exist but look alien and strange to a human eye and living organisms with iridescent and bioluminescent qualities

Reanimated Magpie @reanimatedmagpie.bsky.social · 8d

one of my next ones i think will be entirely various metal and concrete stock textures thatd be fun

Reanimated Magpie @reanimatedmagpie.bsky.social · 8d

its also nice bc youre not limited to 'practical' sketchbook paper materials. not just in the sense of not having to pay.. hard to justify amounts of money for anything with fun paper, but you can also have materials that arent even really drawable on normally

Reanimated Magpie @reanimatedmagpie.bsky.social · 8d

+ it scratches the itch for art supplies you dont have on hand right now/are fundamentally impractical in a doodling capacity well enough i think even if its not the real thing

it's also really nice if you want to keep yourself in a certain mindspace for visdev for a certain project maybe!

Reanimated Magpie @reanimatedmagpie.bsky.social · 8d

i ultimately dont think this is a full replacement for actually making stuff on paper no[not to be old but physical supplies are Really important for learning stuff i stand by that firmly] but rather this specifically really makes the experience of doodling digitally nicer

1

Reanimated Magpie @reanimatedmagpie.bsky.social · 8d

this is really nice because at the present i actually dont have a lot in the way of good opaque mediums for my traditional that dont take fifty years to dry or warp the paper, so this lets me play with that more + use overtly digital stuff while still firmly in that sketchbook mindspace i like
