Dave Stokes @davestokes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026More Clip Studio “pencils”. Preempting the inevitable question; the smoke is made up of Yanick Paquette’s “Smoky Ink, tissue and fibre abuser” CSP brushes which were all available on his Substack( before I stopped supporting Substacks). The inking layers setup is from Tom Martin’s storefront 0102

Dave Stokes @davestokes.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Finished this a while ago but didn’t post here for some reason. Sketch in #procreate using Brooks Kim’s sketching brush set. Delainey Hayles as Claudia 0395

Dave Stokes @davestokes.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Quick sketch in #procreate after watching Death of Robin Hood. Definitely felt the ending was inspired by Wyeth’s “Passing of Robin Hood” painting, building on its imagery to stage a beautiful end to the movie 0233
Dave Stokes @davestokes.bsky.social · 30/07/2026This is insane, and as far as I can tell from looking at the PAX West website, they're not even advertising an artist alley on the site. 020

Dave Stokes @davestokes.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I think I saw this movie just before I turned 16, and still think about it a lot. Probably my first Pacino movie now I think about it and probably my favourite performance from him if I was asked to pick just one. Al Pacino/Lt. Col. Frank Slade from Scent of a Woman (1992) sketch in #procreate 1110
Dave Stokes @davestokes.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Missed #internationalportraitday again this year. I think it’s the overlap between the technical drawing skill and the puzzle of “where” the likeness is on a persons face that makes them my favourite. They never really get as much traction on socials but personally I think they’re my strongest work 1293

Dave Stokes @davestokes.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Every time I open one of these cursed apps lately something just doubles down on the feeling that I’d have been better served doing literally anything else than learning to draw 130

Dave Stokes @davestokes.bsky.social · 29/05/2026If you’re browsing on a desktop pc and still using Chrome doing this gets rid of the ai overview altogether (I haven’t seen one in almost a year of Chrome updates) and you can just type search queries like we used to without adding the suffixes 041

Dave Stokes @davestokes.bsky.social · 18/05/2026If you're still using GenAI at this stage, and fuck knows it's impossible to stop you apparently, there's no way you don't know how artists feel about it's uses/ impact on their industries. Feels like a spiteful attempt at a "gotcha" for GenAI if the book did win. Fuck Michael Todasco in perpetuity 0141
