So i'm new to magick and before starting was learning how i can protect myself and my family members, The Sphere of Hekas banising and barrier making ritual he teaches seemed great specialy cause he says it keeps the spirits with ill intentions out, but from his new edition commentary it seems like it causes issues even for beings with no ill will (maybe it's the guardians causing them to hesitate?) and recommends just building good relationships with spirits and dieties and they will protect, but not long ago he mentions how even with banishing rituals someone's ill wishes got through his defenses and made his luck bad, so without any banishing idk how safe it is? Should I really skip daily banishing until I am doing something dangerous, or is there a method that keeps only beings with ill will away?

They don't have enough karma to ask so:

Hi everyone. I'm trying to understand the drawing process from these examples. It looks like they rely on flat base colours with controlled shadow and light, rather than any heavy or detailed rendering. It's difficult to explain but it seems like it avoids complexity and has this nice, simple feel to it.

This is something I’d like to aim for in my own work, as I want to avoid overworking pieces and produce pieces relatively quickly. I’d appreciate any insight into how this could be built in Clip Studio Paint. For instance, what is the layer workflow (e.g. Base Colour --> Multiply for shadows --> Add Glow) and what kind of brushes are used?

I would honestly appreciate any tips in how to construct something like this, even if it's not related to layer workflow or brushes. Thank you! Credit:
