How I Make Art in Clip Studio Paint

[@samijen]

I am using the PRO version of Clip Studio Paint. There's so many comments its hard to keep up haha, glad this video helped a bunch of you! If you have questions or need any help, you can DM me on Twitter or IG :)

[@kidultisms]

Sami Jen uh question hOw dO yOu ExPoRt- cossssss it just saves to files not my photo gallery-

[@TylerAO12]

Aurvius go to file - export - you can choose what type of file you want to export - window will pop up asking you where to save - choose where you want to save - give it a name - hit save. TA DA! Lol hope that helped

Why don’t you hit the new vector layer quick button? It’s next to your taster layer quick button.

[@spacefan36]

I have the Problem, that I can't work on any painting, because I can't use everything.... I go on any layer, but I can't paint on them...you know why? *please....help...* I can't use any pencil or something else...only at 1. Layer

[@acerith14]

[@lexi-rv8ex]

as a traditional artist who just started learning digital art, this is harder than math. How do layers even work? What tf is clipping? this is too much info and im dying lmao...

[@gargeebasak9648]

Went through that a couple of years ago. You'll get the hang of it. It's cool

[@Luna-gm5eq]

Layers are basically like pieces of plastic stacked on top of each other and you're painting on them. So imagine layer 1 is a sheet and then you put layer 2 on top of 1. Anything you draw or color on layer 2 is its own layer. So if u erase a dot you made on layer 2, it won't erase whatever you drew on layer 1. For clipping imagine you draw a circle on the bottom layer and then on the top layer you chose clipping. Now anything you draw on layer 2 will stay in the confines of that circle or whatever shape you drew. This makes it so you can for example shade on a separate layer from your base shape. Don't know if this helped! My best advice would be to go in an art program and experiment!

[@cherryspice1011]

[@helpcryinggato5987]

I HIGHLY recommend looking up tutorials for the layout of csp! And looking up the official tutorials from the website itself! It helps out a ton! Oh, and make a csp account when you can, you can download layouts (and a ton of other cool things) that can help you and such.

[@geekichuu]

i just realized how much i DON'T know about clip studio, so this was hella helpful. plus, there's something so soothing(???) about they way you talk, 'cause it's so similar to the way my friends and I talk to each other. amazing.

[@Astral_thee_God]

A couple of friends of mine suggested I get clip studio last year when it was on sale, so I did. I've never done digital art before, but I wanted to learn. Too bad learning ain't easy. So I drew one thing, had no idea what the hell I was doing and haven't touched the program or my cheap little tablet in a year. This video was super helpful. You don't understand how much I appreciate it

[@katomaro]

I relate to this so much lmao

[@sera6128]

I got the sale of Clip Studio Ex because my parents got my sister Filas that were hella expensive and they wanted to get me something too. I got the program 50% off and screamed for the entire day. Then I realized I had no idea how to use it and I haven’t used it in 2 months. Then my brain was like, “SO WHY DONT YOU TRY AGAIN??” and then this vid popped up. YT is trying to tell me something.

[@obiarne]

I got a drawing tablet for my birthday, cause I wanted to try it after seeing sooo many awesome fanarts on instagram.. But there are so many things in clip studio paint, I'm just bad in general, the only thing i've done up till now was scanning my pencil drawings and colouring them in. ( you can see them on my insta @obiarne xD ), but I really want to learn how to paint like she did!! so yeah, this video was super duper helpful. I'll try again! to make a better fanart!

[@a.b1293]

Clip Studio's almost always on sale.. I bought it at 60%. I had to persuade my mom to use her card because we never use money online. And that was the first... I bought Clip studio paint ex for the animation, before, it was literally like the traditional frame by frame -like REDRAW EVERYTHING! you can't copy paste and edit the second layer to make it easier. However, I don't know when they had the update, but now it has a feature of motion and audio, which is nice and cool. Love you Clip Studio Paint

[@pixerblu6515]

This is so me i hadn't touch mind either, I was so embarrassed but everything I was drawing for the first time. I just put it down for a few months, now I decided to pick it back up today cuz there's nothing better to do with all the covid-19 stuff going on so i know how it feels and she made it really easy. so thanks i leard a lot.😢😢

Gotta say, I've been using CSP for like 4 years now and there are still things that I don't know 😂 love your style and the way you explain and thanks for the tips. Also, some other shortcuts if anyone is interested: -Ctrl+T for transform, also fun fact, if u hit ctrl+t and there's nothing selected, it will transform the whole layer. -Ctrl+U for the tones thing -Ctrl+ click on the layer thumbnail for selecting everything on that layer. -If u work with a lot of layers like me and want to access to one quickly, Ctrl+shift+ click what you're looking for on the canvas.(tho I'm not quite sure if it's ctrl+shift+Alt or ctrl+Alt bc I know this shortcut more by muscle memory)

[@pinkwafers2157]

Also adding onto my old comment, DON'T rely on final cropping for composition purposes, establish your composition in the *sketch* , that is one of the many things a sketch is for. This is so that you don't have to crop out part of the picture that you worked hard on and sacrifice your effort, it's overall a far more efficient way to make art and it's just good practice.

[@pinkwafers2157]

Totally forgot about the line border thing, very useful! Tbh you merging all of the layers hurt my soul, you never know when you want to adjust a certain part of the picture and i feel that using layer FOLDERS would be more useful as it essentially merges the layers without actually merging anything, *especially* in Clip; you can add clipping layers to them, you can select everything in the folder as if it were one image and it organizes your layers in bigger projects. (also they're collapsible) Dont know if you already know this or not, but this is advice for anyone reading i guess lel. (also if you need proof that you drew something, showing layer information instead of a flat image is more solid)
