Raw Ingredients: The Secrets of Toonstop’s Art
Have you ever seen an artist’s work and wondered: “How in the heck do they do that?”
I have. So, having far too high an opinion of myself, I cooked up the Toonstop Raw Ingredients archive. Real Time Drawing Video and Source Files, from your favorite artist. (presumptuous, I know)
I wanted to offer up the inside info on how long the work takes, and specific technical settings within my files, so here they are.

FAQ
What’s included? Are you hiding anything?
If I made a recording, and the art work was good enough to upload, you’ll see video and the source file. I may include little extra stuff just so you can see what gets made that’s not terribly pretty, (as a help to expand your understanding of the life of an artist) but I do want to avoid causing you to pay for junk.
I’m a beginner artist. How is this going to help me?
You get to see that art is not really magic. Just a little time and effort. Granted, people good at art get really fast and really confident, and I have a little of that myself, but if you see that there’s hours of effort involved, you get to feel a little better about how lon you yourself take. Plus you get to see how a picture goes from sketch to finish.
There’s no wait? I get to see everything just by subscribing?
Yes! All-Access just by subscribing! You can open up and start watching right away. You can even download the video and study it yourself on your favorite media player. There’s no DRM, so you can make an offline archive to study art your own pace in case something happens, pick out videos to pass around to friends, or if you want to keep studying even if you have to cancel your subscription.
What if I have questions about something you did? Your videos don’t have narration!
Ask any questions you like! I am happy to help! The videos are silent because they are all done simply to archive the process, (and to let you watch with your own music if you like) but I’m always happy to help explain what I did. In fact, by asking questions you may be helping to expand Raw Ingredients by giving me a topic to address and add into the archive through adding narration onto the video.
What kind of art card do I get?
That’s a surprise! I have a few illustrations made specially as small free gifts. You’ll receive one of several available, and I’ll do my best to make sure you get a unique one each time.
