[@louisr34jones]

Very good tutorial for a beginner like me, the best so far. I'll watch some of your other videos once I have assimilated this one. Thank you!

[@agdigiart7407]

You are incredible.thank you soooo much 😍❤

[@famishedmonster]

thank you, Ms.RedNebula!! 🥺❤️ i used CSP for years (mostly for illustration, but lately i've been using it more for comic) and most tutorials bored me because of the repetitive tips. but here, i learned soooo much! your tutorial (especially the way you teach and edit the video to show the menu, ui and all) is THE MOST thorough, detailed, directional, and easy to follow amongst all CSP tutorial videos out there!! 😆👍 hence i've been repeatedly watching some of your videos in the past few weeks. big kudos!! ❤️🙏🙏 (p.s. i also put them all in an "actually helpful art tips" playlist to rewatch in case i forgot hahaha)

[@MsRedNebulaArt]

Thank you, I'm glad I could be of help!

[@samifranco5541]

[@jamespidgeon8724]

Super helpful and well presented, thanks!

[@Taka_Takata]

Excellent, straight to the major points, welll-scripted and concise, precise voice-over. Very usufel for that features-laden program.

[@MsRedNebulaArt]

Thank you! I try to be as concise as I can to get the information across.

[@bunnyqueen20XX]

This is really nice, thank you

[@LTartworkx]

OMG such an excellent CSP tutorial, extremely clear and helpful info....Thank you for this video :)

[@MsRedNebulaArt]

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help!

[@rudigianto7183]

very useful information Sarah, thank you 👍🏾🙏🏽

[@amyswallow742]

Thank you for staying simple and keeping tutorial beginner slow. Many of these tutorials have lots of great information but the problem is they go too fast and seem overestimate the amount of clip studio knowledge the audience might have.

[@MsRedNebulaArt]

The "learn so-and-so in 1 minute" format is very popular and it's fine in some cases, but unfortunately it has led to some very sped-up, difficult to follow tutorials!

[@AaronBeckerbooks]

THIS IS SO USEFUL!!! thank you

[@neerajnegi9360]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much

[@stridin]

Thanks for the video.

[@wovenskin]

Learned things I didn't realize I needed to know. Thanks!

[@choccomori]

Oh my god you came in CLUTCH. I've been eyeballing my panel sizes (just started getting into larger, longer format comic-strips) and knew there HAD to be a tool or setting to get my borders to be the same no matter what size, this makes so much sense THANK YOUUUU

[@MsRedNebulaArt]

Glad I could help! They've got some really great tools for comics!

[@erigush]

thank you very much for the tutorial! I'm trying to understand comic book tools on CSP and it is very helpful. Your instructions are crystal clear!

[@MsRedNebulaArt]

I'm glad I could help!

[@popesuavecitoxii2379]

This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you!

[@I.V.1355]

Hello. You are an amazing instructor! I have learned a lot watching your tutorials! Could you make a video explaining how we add a background image after we already have the monochrome manga character design ready and how to reposition the character in this scenario? Thank you in advance for your precious attention.

[@MsRedNebulaArt]

I may make one in the future! In the meantime, do you mean adding a character you drew on paper? You can make the line art transparent using Edit - Convert Brightness to Opacity so you can color in the character (even if the color is just white), and then add them in front of your background!

[@I.V.1355]

@@MsRedNebulaArt Thank you very much for another valuable piece of advice! But I'm talking about a character drawn directly on a Clip Studio Paint layer. I will eagerly await a video from you that addresses this topic. Thank you very much!

[@clarazennaro-mansson7672]

Thank you so much for this video! Is there an easy way to import an image directly into a "box" that I've created within the panels? I'm trying to make a comic using photography 😅 keep rocking! 💐

[@MsRedNebulaArt]

As long as you have the frame folder (or any layer inside of it) selected, you can go to File - Import and the image you choose will be placed on a new layer inside that folder. You can also copy an image to your clipboard and paste it into the frame border folder directly!

[@Misantropiee]

Hi,I found your video really useful but since I’m from a tablet I can’t understand how can i make wider the frame bolder , i used control point tool but still I have to manually change the size of the bolder, do u perhaps know how to do it ?

[@MsRedNebulaArt]

You can adjust the size of the whole frame at once using the Object sub tool, but I'm afraid I don't work on a tablet so I'm not sure if it's in the same place.

[@Tantrum453]

Guys how do i create frame border by only using mask selection?

[@airred.official]

Can I freely adjust gutter size after the panels are on the page?

[@MsRedNebulaArt]

You can keep adjusting them indefinitely, but it's a bit tricky to get exact widths when doing manual adjustments. I'd say it's a good idea to make a copy of your file before making any major changes so you can revert back to the original and try again if necessary. You may also need to uncheck "Snap to other frame borders" and change "Keep gutters aligned" to None; otherwise the different borders may "stick" to each other or otherwise behave unexpectedly if you try to change them.

Hello! Could you show how to change the lines of a traditional digitized lineart. I would like to know how to soften a thick ink line made on physical paper. Thank you in advance for your precious attention.

[@MsRedNebulaArt]

Hi! I don't work with digitized traditional linework too often, but I believe your best bet would be to start by upping the brightness/contrast (which will naturally thin the lines a bit anyway), then use Edit -> Convert Brightness to Opacity to change it from grayscale into line art with a transparent background. If your lines are still too thick, experiment with Filter -> Correction -> Adjust Line Width. (This will be most effective if your scan is pretty high resolution; if it's too low, it can just make your lines disappear!) You can also just do some lineart cleanup manually at this point. I hope that helps!

[@I.V.1355]

@@MsRedNebulaArt Thank you very much! It helped a lot!

[@Avo_berry]

Can you make about the webtoon's panel next, please? Thanks 😃

[@MsRedNebulaArt]

It wouldn't be next since I've got a bunch planned out, but I can put webtoons on my list!
