I found this post after I read one that is seven months old. I was so impressed with the clarity of your instructions (method 2 works--I tried it), that I decided to track you down and see what else you have to offer. This looks wonderful. I'm no artist, but I have been trying my hand at digital drawing in the last few years. It is quite satisfying but I certainly can use more tools. So far, all I've tried is Paint, Gimp and Paint 3D.

Clip Studio Paint Pro looks like it might be useful. I will surely download the free version and, you're right, the commercial version is not prohibitively priced. Thanks for offering such useful information.

I'm not very good at networking. I support good work, people who seem to need a boost and some nice people I've run into. For sure you don't need a boost, but your work is great, so I'm latching on:) Hope someday you can find one of my posts useful--probably not.
