Tools Used
I used a free digital art program called Medibang Paint Pro to do most of the drawing, and then exported the file to Photoshop CC to make the final colour adjustments. If you’re ever on the look out for a really awesome and easy to use digital art program I really highly recommend Medibang! It features a ton of awesome brushes and supports a lot of the basic features that digital artists need *u* I’ll have a link down below to their website!

FAQ
How long did this take?
It varies! If it’s a five minute long video, then between 3 to 4 hours. If its between 7-10 minutes, it was probably a bigger piece which can take anywhere between 10-15 hours.
Where did you get that fur textured brush? https://tinyurl.com/yd3te4sk
Where did you get the flat brush?
That one’s from the Medibang cloud (click the little cloud shaped button with the arrow at the bottom of box with the list of brushes). There you will find all the additional brushes made by Medibang – plenty of gems to download and test out.
Where did you get all these brushes and textures from?
They’re from a mix of stuff! Some of them are made by other artists and you can easily find them just by typing in ‘medibang brushes’ or ‘firealpaca brushes’ into Google. Some are brushes that I made myself. Some are actually Photoshop brushes! You can import most Photoshop brushes into Medibang by downloading an ABR Viewer. Since most Photoshop brushes are in the .abr format, you can use the program to view all of them and convert them into .png files. Once you’ve done that just click and drag the brush image into the Medibang brush list and you’ll have a new brush to play with!
You can find most of the brushes I have just by doing a Google search. Please give this a try before asking me for specific brushes! I really don’t have the time to answer all the questions I get 🙂

new batch of commissions begin! i've accepted both more of these portrait ones, but also bigger illustrations too! so look out, there'll probably be longer videos coming soon~
I love the drama in the lighting, it all just comes together chef kiss it was wonderful
gorgeous!
I feel like art is super underrated. People need to stop staring back at the past and look for a new generation of newer modern artists. Art must live on!
Dear Jax,
Hi! My name is Adams. I just wanted to get this off my chest since a while. You, miss Clockbirds ova here, ARE A HUGE INSPIRATION TO ME. Everyday, I watch your speedpaints to get a taste or little tip or two on how to paint. Painting things that are very realisitc, such as your arts, is a goal I know I can achieve. You exisiting is already enough for me, my golly, you're amazing! Please, keep uploading these speedpaints. More tutorial videos are needed! I wish not to stress you out or pressaure you, but I just think you're stunning. It's been a year. Watch this, and look at your most recent piece. Now that, sweetheart, is what I call improvement. Something I never believed in. But YOU, Jax, helped me achieve the belief of improvement, that SOMEDAY, I will get to a point where I am not scared to go past by comfort zone.
Thank you. Bless you, and have a nice day.
Yknow when an artsie person draws something, and everyone thinks its so cool, but the person who drew it was like, "Look! The anatomy is wrong, the head is too big! I might as well redo it!"
And then theres this. Where everyone agrees it's amazing.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
How do you not have more subs??? This is phenomenal!
I fell straight up in love with your art while watching this
GREAT VIDEO!!! Glad to see you used my songs 🙏🔥
I CAN'T EVEN DRAW A STRAIGHT LINE ON MEDIBANG PAINT.
Wow… this is so beautiful. It brings out a lot of emotion to me. It's amazing it may sound weird but I'm crying over this piece. It's absolutely stunning
How did you get medibang paint pro? Does it only work on computer?
Your art really inspires me to not give up drawing. Everytime i give up on this piece of art that im making, i always come on YouTube, watch your videos and start over. But i just dont have really any good programs on my computer to make the fur smudge so softly. So i need help. :3
OH this is just gorgeous! Nice work!
This gives me goosebumps everytime I watch. Not sure exatly why but it's my favourite artwork of yours
Incrible
This is purrfect
This is astonishing.. I have no words… This is beautiful, you put so much effort in all of your pieces.
for a minute, i thought thistle claw
then i looked at the warriors wiki
how could a monstrosity like that look like this?
Hey I use medibang and was wondering if you could help me out with a few tips with lighting and a few of the other things that you do? If not that's fine!
Beautiful as always ^^
Also, that legitimately looks like Thistleclaw (except for the necklace of course)
Can u plz do a tutorial? It will help a lot. When I started drawing on pc and tablet I wanted to do things like this, then I didnt know how to do it so I decided to draw anime style and now I want to draw animals again. I have a lot of problems with fur >_<
I just discovered you and i instantly love your art style, so fluffy and soft yet vibrant, amazing job!
amaizing!what u use for to draw on ur computer? <33
Omg you can just feel and hear the emotion you put into this piece in the music
new sub!!
Oh my gosh you are so good How are you so good!!!😃
I don't understand how u paint on a device
TEACH ME CHILD
Amazing!region
An amazing piece of art. <3
I absolutely adore your style of painting!! It's so smooth and colourful. The way you retain a matte yet blended texture all the while keeping the sharper lines and pronounced shapes is amazing! I'm in love! 😀 Visually, it's not overly complicated, nor is it so neat that it's boring, it has this super-satisfying blend between the two. I've been trying to get the same results so it's nice to have someone to look up to! Great job!
you are an underrated beauty
You are amazing!! Maybe a tutorial on fur or lighting??? ;;;
I subbed when I saw the sketch boiiiii your art is amazing
Wow you soo cool off art
why are you so underrated
THIS IS AMAZING!!! I just wanted to add to the sea of requests for a tutorial on how to draw fur and shade :33
This is an absolutely stunning piece! I can't wait to s̶t̶a̶l̶k̶ watch/see the rest of your work <3 :]
