I was having some real bad luck getting my fingers sliced up while cleaning up the home (and a cat food can giving me a good slash just as the others healed up!) but things are all healed up now, that's half of why the page took a little longer to produce. The other half, I've just got a new work setup that's taking a bit of getting used to, had to replace my tablet finally (I've been using the same one since 2006 and the pen grip disintegrated, which made drawing for hours on end really painful) and we got a nice monitor tablet, which has improved things as much for me as there has been setbacks (photoshop SUCKS, I still need it for text and it absolutely glitches out constantly and most advice has been “uhm, driver tablet update?” and it's a brand new tablet with up to date drivers, it's Adobe that's garbage not my tablet, I may need to mess with some wintab files or something) but drawing in Clipstudio has been absolutely wonderful and glitch free, if it had the same depth for texting I would abandon photoshop in a heartbeat. Might try illustrator again because I have it, and the UI doesn't look like it was made for ants on my new tablet, but ugh is it a program that feels hostile to users. To say it's unintuitive would be an understatement.

Anyway hope you all are doing well!

I like Clip Studio, the EX version is worth it for me, it can handle everything right up to the print stage. I can just imagine a pugnacious New Yorker as a crow XD

try https://www.sketchbook.com/ Autodesk Sketchbook, apparently it's now free and I tinkered with the trial before that, it seems to be a rock solid program that my parblo tablet loves. it supports layers and is similar to actual pen and paper. it even has an excellent symmetry function, with I believe radial symmetry. Anyhow, it's an xade approved program. Also to get used to your new tablet id suggest playing some solitaire. It helps

Hahaha the crows voice comes across as having that new yorker slang. The dialogue is always fun to read lol

Seems to have been one of these days... It certainly was for you, and it is for about everyone on this page. Only, on the page it's the entertaining fun kind. My computer keeps giving up its ghost, too, and even if I do my art the old-fashioned pen-brush-and-paper way it seriously keeps me from getting anything done at all.
