You press a button and computer draws everything for you (Patreon)

Sometimes your poor organism craves for some sort of bizarre, but highly therapeutic busywork. One out of three times you actually manage to treat yourself to this ritual.

Maybe in this fit of abstract sincerity you remember that there was a time when 80-90% of your inking was digital. So you just take your tablet, and you draw your work, layer after layer, over-complicating the process for no visible reason, solving weird cleaning tasks and isolating lineart in a dozen of ways, having fun with primitive ways of texturing you figured out in MangaStudio (4 EX) almost ten years ago and going to town with screentones. It reminds you of the time when you were young and full of vigor, when you were working on your shitty steampunk inquisition webcomics, starting it over from the scratch again and again every year or two--

You draw layer after layer after layer.

You think of your page almost if it was a shadow puppet show, a collage, a crude diorama (like these weird covers of Dorohedoro).

You had this layered design in your head and now it is done.

Time to sleep, and sleep well, my dog.

P.S. Real talk:

Would I be able to ink the same page traditionally? Well, I don't have enough real-life screentones at me right now, and I doubt I would want to render this landscape in this particular style... But I have 7 days in a week when I would draw a same thing differently.

This is why I think following impulses is good.
