Professional-Grade Brushes
Clip Studio Paint & Adobe Photoshop
I use Adobe Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint to create my artworks, and if you use either of those, you are in luck. I’ve created a bunch of brushes and made custom tweaks to my sketch brushes, among others. You can download the brushes and try them out yourself, and, more importantly, tweak them further for your own liking. Most of the brushes are optimized for 1024 pressure sensitivity, but after switching to Cintiq 24 Pro, future brushes will be optimized for 8K sensitivity.
Clip Studio Paint Pro now supports Adobe Photoshop brushes!

Frequently Asked Questions
It really doesn’t matter. Layered PSD-files can be opened with various art softwares. Just make sure that it can handle .psd files.
I mainly use Clip Studio Paint and the latest version of Adobe Photoshop. All of my artworks are done with that two software. I use Clip Studio Paint for sketching, ideation, line art, coloring, rendering, shading, etc. and the final adjustments will be made with Adobe Photoshop (if needed). You can, however, use almost any art software there is to accomplish the same results that I have.
Well, you need a computer. You also need an art software like Adobe Photoshop, Paint Tool Sai, Clip Studio Paint or something similar. A software that can open .psd -files.

Hello! I'm Juha.
Hi there!
My name is Juha Ekman, a.k.a Okuha, and I love drawing anime and manga art. My first experience with anime and manga was probably when I rented an animated movie called Akira. I was hooked. I was blown away, and I was just totally in awe of the beauty anime represented. I guess that was the moment I started to draw anime characters.
It's not easy
Today I consider myself an anime and manga artist. I feel like it’s the only form of art I truly get and know how to draw. However, I have to admit the beginning wasn’t too easy. I struggled to draw eyes in proportion. I didn’t know anything about line art, and nothing about digital art in general. Through time and consistent studying, I was able to get where I am now.
Self-taught all the way
I’ve never had any formal art education. So the stuff you see here is learned by studying and drawing by myself. If you are in a spot where you are thinking of going to an art school, I can say that the results you see in front of you can be achieved without a school. It’s all about learning from others and drawing consistently. Schools are good in some sense, but I believe that is not a must. You can learn, you just have to believe in yourself you can.
You can draw
My first drawings weren’t that great. They actually suck quite a lot, but that’s the thing. You need to draw, practice, study, and draw some more. And eventually, you will see how you’ve progressed. It doesn’t even take that much time, but it does take work. I’ve been drawing almost daily, but at some point, I even took a year off and didn’t draw pretty much anything. But I got back into it, and it feels good to draw again. To create something new, something others haven’t seen yet. You can do that too.
Bring your visions alive
Drawing anime and manga art opens up massive opportunities. I get commissions requests regularly. However, time is super limited, and sadly I can’t embark on those. Think about it, when you have a skill that people admire, you can make anything with it. Create your own t-shirt designs, create your own manga comic, create prints, artbooks, whatever comes to your mind. Anime and manga art is super beautiful, and when you know how to draw it, people will notice.
