FanArt_WhisperLavinia

I've been testing out different brushes in Clip Studio Paint, and the organization system I've developed is basically a list of all the brushes I have yet to test out, so I just go down the list and try a new one from the backlog of brushes I've picked up over the years.  I also have a system to track them, as it's a little tricky organizing these by default, which is something I wish was a little easier in CSP natively, though I hear maybe it's a a little improved in the latest version.

Mize detail how I organize my brushes.  This one's from the "Web Bear" 1685949 Set, which is a nickname I gave it to more easily recall its range, based on what's on the Materials' page.  Unbelievable!  ×ェ× deleted all assets!  It says I can still use them, but everything's gone for DL!  Ah.  That's too bad.  These were such neat brushes.  Anyway, this was from a collection that was a bunch of brushes designed for rough sketching or just online doodles, so I thought it a nice way to rein in a test illustration's scope. 
 
 
The colors were from ☕'s アナログっぽく描ける鉛筆とマーカー 2029266 set.  The brush I used is named "☕ Analog AlcMar [50] アナログ風アルコールマーカー," which begins with my custom name, ending with the [default brush size], and then has the given name of the brush.  In my Materials list, I name the brush the same and tag it with @☕ (to cluster artists in the tag list), Copic, and Marker, or other key traits.  I also heart and star in the Asset Shop so I know if I've downloaded this brush if I ever look it up later, and bookmark its page with [DL] and DOWNLOADED.

 
If it's a non-brush Material, I'll name it [M] and then a brief description of what it is, heart it in my Materials list, as well as tag it as Material, and then usually add it as a Quick Action to at least my Testa list, so I know what I have to work with.  Anyway, I'm not sure why I drew Lavinia here, but I guess it was just to keep it kinda simple, again striving not to go overboard for just essentially a rough, test illustration--this was to see if I could kinda replicate my regular illustration process in digital.  

Not normal,
