10 Things I Love About Clip Studio Paint

[@JoePetrakovich]

One feature I really like that no other app has is the ability to paint with edge detection. So instead of using layers or selecting boundaries, it can automatically detect your line work and won't let the paint go beyond it. It feels like coloring within the lines naturally and is very enjoyable.

[@Lilyium]

How do you use this?

[@JoePetrakovich]

@@Lilyium do a search for "anti-overflow" in clip studio. That is the name of the feature.

Fun fact, the original name for Clip Studio Paint was NOT Manga Studio. Clip Studio Paint is the original name. "Manga Studio" was a rebranding of a string of unrelated but kind-of-related programs made by the Japanese company Celsys. E Frontier and then SmithMicro rebranded them as part of their North American localization deal. Clip Studio Paint 1.0 was the first version of this brand new program in 2013. But SmithMicro rebranded it as "Manga Studio 5", because it was similar to the other programs they previously rebranded. The deal has since expired and Celsys now does localization under their own name. That means it's just "Clip Studio Paint" for everyone, whether you use freedom units or not.

[@thebradcolbow]

Oh wow, I had no idea.

[@oscarpinochet]

well Clip Studio came from the merge of Comic Studio (A.K.A Manga Studio 1/2/3/4) and Illust Studio (only Japan) and recently they added parts of RETAS (Animation)

Let me clarify something about the software. Clip Studio was originally called "Comic Studio", and was created in the early 1990s by a company called "Celsys" in japan, the creators of Retas pro, which still used in anime studios. A use company called Smith Micro licensed Comic Studio and re-branded it as "Manga Studio" and their last version under that name was Manga Studio 4 or 5. In Japan Celsys killed Retas Pro and merged Retas with Comic Studio and re-branded it as Clip Studio Art. the rest is self explanatory

Just wanted to say that I like this new series, love this channel, and recommend it to everyone.

[@ayahner90]

Your videos are always so interesting! You actually helped me to get back into digital art! I had been watching a ton of videos on what to buy to start and had spent several hours across several days trying to decide and it was finally your video on the Surface Laptop Studio follow up that gave me exactly what I was looking for! I purchased it and have been practicing as I've been a physical medium user my whole life and drawing digitally is a bit of a learning curve but I also purchased your class and it has helped me as well! I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating such accessible and wonderful content! It is inspiring and helps give people like me the inspiration to try things they've been wanting to for years but didn't know where to start. 💜

Krita review plzz

[@MarkOakleyComics]

Man! CSP is awesome. I was *so* on board when it was announced, there wasn't even a board. -I bought a Japanese version, (which wasn't easy back when Google web page translate wasn't a thing), and had to run an insane fan-made English hack to make the menus readable. Good times! It's so nice to see how the program has grown and become very stable. It never crashes now! Pretty amazing. CSP rocks, -though it's still missing a couple of pretty basic selection features for some reason. Meanwhile, I'm still hoping that Paint Tool SAI 2 (with touch) comes into being; its brush engine is actually superior to the one in CSP...! (I know, eh?) But SAI is written and published by a single guy who is no longer piss & vinegar in his 20's, so I feel like it may never happen. Though.., he still updates the beta package every few months with little changes... I'm only waiting for one big update... It just needs a finger touch interface and it'll be a major contender for best drawing package. -If he wants it to be. It's small and efficient as hell; the whole package is only a couple of megabytes big, and it's as full-featured as any big name brand. If he ports it to Android and charges a couple bucks.., he'd be a very wealthy man. I'm keeping my hopes alive.

Inkscape is the best free vector program. And since 1.0 the UI has drastically improved (the development version, 1.1 is even better). It looks like a professional piece of software now. I suspect that it wouldn't go into an animators workflow very well though.

I have been using iPad 6th Gen. At times I get some freelance job that required 300dpi and size larger than A4. I use Procreate most of the time, and the larger the size the less layers I am able to have on Procreate. Sometimes I can't even create the large size that the client required in Procreate. I recently had the same problem with the sizes again for Procreate. And I tried using CSP on my iPad, it worked pretty good so far. At least for line art stage. Not sure how it will be when I need to do coloring. And I'm slowing getting used to using CSP. But this is huge for me, as I don't need to upgrade my iPad (yet). I wanted to use iPad / pencil as my main drawing device for work seems to be achievable with CSP ! It's cool that it has the swipe panel that has the shift, option, command, space. I don't even need a bluetooth keyboard. And I can even use the photoshop brushes here! WOW :D

main gripe I have with CSP is the licensing model.
