I review tech for creative professionals over on the Youtubes https://www.youtube.com/thebradcolbow
I used to just ignore emails from companies promoting AI this or AI that. But their are so many these days that I started copy/pasting this in reply. I don't think people living in their tech bubbles realize how big the AI backlash is getting.

Is Affinity's software going totally free to use?

Hmm. So this website magically appeared on the internet a few hours before Canva's 1pm keynote. www.affinity.studio

New review up on the YouTubes. I really really like the new Wacom Android tablet. This is the art I made for the review.

Just posted my Wacom Cintiq 16 review. Great tablet and return to form for Wacom. This was the art I did for the review.

For the 1000th time I don't want to autocorrect it to that!!!

SCAM ALERT!
My favorite part of running a YouTube channel are all the people scamming in my name.
If you got an email like this don't pay them. it's not me. 🤦
But if anyone wants to mess with them the email they are using is [email protected]

If you love something that much why not reach out to the artists and give them an opportunity to work on it. In the context of a project this size the cost is practically nothing.

The coolest part of Marathon was the art direction. They lifted some graphics wholesale from this artist but the game's art direction is basically HER style.
I know, I know... If you're a multi-billion dollar company it's not illegal to steal an art style.... but it still makes you an asshole.

It was 10 years ago today that I bought @procreate.com on what was then called the iTunes store.
The best $6 I ever spent.

Playing with the idea of adding lip syncing to videos. What do you think? look OK? needs more work? Worth pursuing this style over the choppy mouth-less Brad?

Next video is all about drawing hands... or how I FINALLY learned how to draw hands. It's coming out Thursday.

If you are a Member on YT or on Patreon check your feed, you can watch it now!

3 weeks into this hand drawing exercise and two things have become clear.
First, I am really getting better at this. Second, I’m so sick of drawing hands. 😂

11 years ago I thought it was to late to start a YouTube channel. Glad I didn't listen.

I’m declaring February Hand drawing month… for me anyway. I’m terrible at drawing hands. So I’m going to practice every day and hopefully get a video at the end of all of this.
Day one I started by learning from one of the greats Andrew Loomis.

Color me intrigued!

Two video coming out soon. The first is an animated short I started over a year ago as part of my Procreate Dreams review. I decided to finish it and get it out there. The second video is a breakdown of how I made that video. The software I used, the steps I took and what I learned along the way.

I'm bringing my second YouTube channel back! New videos (almost) every month in 2025. The first is coming Friday!!!
January 6, 2025 at 5:25 PM
It's not to late! If we all work together we can make this happen!

Fiddling in Adobe Animate again. I like this little puppet guy but I think I'm going to try a version with outlines and my normal coloring.

So pumped to see Metaphor getting a nomination. I assumed it was to niche but glad to see it getting some love. It's so good!

This was meant to be part of a series but I never got around to do any other game consoles or handhelds. Might have to dust off the idea some time.

Hi I'm Brad and I draw cartoons and review drawing tablets.
