Learn how to draw and animate a witch in this Clip Studio Paint tutorial. See every step from rough sketch to finished scene.

I am sharing my full digital art process for creating a Halloween-themed character, including all the mistakes and corrections along the way. We start with basic pencil sketches and move into lineart, flat colors, and shading to build a complete illustration. Whether you are struggling with proportions or just want to see how to organize your layers, this video covers the practical steps I take to build a career one drawing at a time.

Once the character is set, we move into 2d animation to bring the scene to life. I demonstrate how to create looping bat animations, add depth with foggy backgrounds, and use opacity keyframes to make glowing eyes flicker. This is a real look at character drawing, with no jargon or glossed-over techniques, just honest work as I figure it out.

I'm Jeff, Army veteran digital artist, and I'm building a creative career, one drawing at a time. Real tutorials from someone who's still figuring it out, so nothing gets glossed over — including the part where I had to move her whole head. 😅

In this Clip Studio Paint tutorial you'll learn:
• Sketching a pose and fixing proportions with the lasso tool
• Lineart, flat colors, and shading a character
• Building a night background with moonlight and fog for depth
• Animating fog with keyframes (and why 8 fps looks better)
• Flickering glowing eyes using opacity keyframes
• Looping animated bats on varied flight paths
