honestly speaking, i learnt more than all the previous 5-10 videos I've watched over the previous 2 months. i found this video extremely helpful and your calm, sweet voice just made everything all the more enjoyable to learn - thank you very much for making this video. i love your illustration^^ !

I'VE BEEN USING CLIP STUDIO PAINT FOR 9 FUCKING Y E A R S AND I NEVER KNEW YOU COULD ADD MORE MANIPULATION POINTS TO A MESH TRANSFORMATION GRID. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH YOU'VE CHANGED MY LIFE, BRO

i’m new in digital art and i’m SO lost but this tutorial was perfect!! thank you so much for this🥺

[@AzukisS]

As an Illustrator who struggle with program changes, this tutorial is gold. Seriously, thank you so much for this amazing video. This is so calm and nice, you made me give a try to Clip Studio. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. PS: I hate lineart in digital art too...I never feel satistied with the results

[@myownbravado]

I've been using csp for like a year now, and this is the most helpful tutorial for it I have ever seen. I seriously didn't know almost anything, and I thought I was doing pretty good all by myself! The art came out beautiful, too :)

[@LockOfImage]

Finally someone that is just talking about the process and not their day-to-day life on a tutorial... Thank you

[@misconceptionofyours2409]

I am new to Digital Art and haven't drawn much of anything in almost 2 decades. I got Clip Studio Art as a free trial with the WACOM PAD for Xmas. And I just want to say that I find your tutorial very easy to follow and understand. And you make it look easy, even the more advanced features. While I know I need to slowly get used to the program, you can rest assured, I will come back and reference your video for help. Thank you for making this video. Stay safe and happy! And beautiful Elf at the end.

[@CuriousTora]

I've been using CSP on and off the past few months but because I've been used to draw in Photoshop I've never really gotten into CSP until now. This tutorial was really insightful, I definitely learned a few new things watching this. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks!

[@tv_mirage]

Usually I find tutorial videos incredibly boring and I end up trying to figure stuff out by myself. But you have such a gentle voice and just go straight to the point that I actually followed the tutorial closely! I really loved that you bookmarked the video so we could go back and rewatch specfic parts that needed refreshing! Thank you so much!

[@dendydarin3085]

This is the most comprehensive beginner tutorial for CSP. I learn a lot from your video that I can't find in bunch of others youtube videos. Tips, trick even the small thing means a lot to me. Thanks again. Wish you all the best and God blesses every step in your life.

[@10agi29]

Even though I don’t have Clip Paint Studio your art in the thumbnail caught my eye, and since I’ve been struggling with painting digitally I decided to watch this to learn your process (since I really liked the style). This video actually motivated me to draw (which is great since I’ve been having art block), so thank you for this tutorial! 💖

[@eidennazca6045]

Wow! I'm a new fan! This video is like on a whole new level than any other tutorials for CSP I've ever seen! It's so in-depth that I couldn't find a word to describe it. My eyes and ears are melting in joy watching this. lol I'm glad I found you and this video! Hope you'll have more videos to come since I've noticed that you rarely upload one. I'll try to find you on other platforms that you may be active to so that I can follow you there as well. Keep it up!

[@Rebeccabishop_e-motions]

Thank you I found the first part of the video extremely useful. I found the painting bit a little fast as I am a beginner but I did learn some great things so appreciate this tutorial, thank you again.

[@philjancik4601]

this is how you are supposed to make a tutorial. there is some more information that i personally would of like to have known (mainly in the actual drawing part) but i like how you explained everything in a consise manner. it is shocking how many other tutorials just dont do that.

[@ninochuu]

i’ve been using csp for a few months but wow did i learn a lot from this!! it’s such a helpful guide, i’ll definitely be watching this again in the future!

[@neilfrancislaudiana5332]

If i could give this video a thousand likes, i would. you just made a COMPLETE tips and tricks for beginners like me. from setting up the software to the painting process and how to render. Just what i needed

[@Firnienarya]

So personally. I say this is indeed a beginners guide to cps. But more on the end of the beginner entering into the next stage and doing a recap of what they already learned about the software and explaining how they made their art. Still useful and a video I would watch again when I'm already good and using all of cps settings and such.

[@Glisean]

This was a beautifully comprehensive tutorial. Really everything I needed to make the transition to clip studio.

[@PerfectPride]

I love this process. Ive always struggled with line art, between fighting between light dainty lines or bold lines with various weight, and then losing the “life” from the sketch after adding line art, then trying to color around it- this seems like it would feel a bit more natural and help retain the life of the sketch. Thanks for sharing!

[@PabloReviews]

I been rewatching this tuto a few times and I would love to ask you if it’s possible to see a more detailed painting and lineart tutos in the future. About the painting one, it would be amazing to see how to make color bending look smooth and beautiful and where do you recommend to use hard brushes or airbrushes. I’m practicing with cell shading atm but when I try to bend colors my drawings look just horrible :’) In the lineart tuto would be interesting to see how to line-weight lines (not tecnically, I mean the artistic way). I know is not your actual style but I love the way you did it! I know I’m asking for a lot but just take it as suggestions! I don’t want to be impolite and “just request more”. I know this take a looot of time to do and I really appreciate that you did this one yet. Anyway, thank you so much for everything and awesome piece and video. Sorry for commenting several times :’)

[@Sunakoart]

I'll think about it! Mostly it's having enough experience to have a feel for what's a good balance of shapes (clear large/medium/small areas) and hard/soft edges. Keep at it!

not only you helped me to understand the interface and personalize it to my own needs, but you also made me realize i don't have to do lineart. i always had problems with digital, because i never wanted to do the lineart - it would take so much time and it would still look like a sketch. and i never even tried doing art this way, just based on a sketch! i just started working on a new, experimental piece and i'm already loving the process! thank you so much for opening my eyes to lineart-less digital art! much appreciated!

I'm diving into CSpaint after buying it an entire year ago, and this tutorial is so frigging wonderful, thank you. No shade to other artists making videos on here, but yeah its been frustrating to find resources that don't go too fast/ terrible audio editing, and don't break down where tools are.

[@ninneko19]

Do you have any links to the assets that you use for painting, sketching, etc? Or if you use the default brushes, which ones do you use? ;; thank you for the info!

[@Sunakoart]

The ones I use are really basic and simple custom brushes, just round brushes with nothing particularly fancy going on in the settings. If you learn the basics of the brush settings menu you should be able to make similar ones really easily, but they are available through my patreon if you want my exact ones. I was actually going to include how to make a brush like the one I used in this tutorial, but the video already became way too long unfortunately so I had to cut out that part. If there's enough interest in it I could make a video all about how to make custom brushes, and include the tad bit more complicated stuff too like grass or foliage and textures! :)
