♡ how i use CLIP STUDIO PAINT // tutorial + guide

[@awkwardsauceart]

congratulations you have successfully taught me how to use gradient maps after literal months of trying to figure it out and I will now be using them CONSTANTLY

[@averyy-w1364]

i've used csp for over a year now and i genuinely thought i knew all the basics. like what else is there?? fifteen minutes into this video i was fully realizing that i have been staring at merely the shadows in plato's cave. this is genuinely life changing tysm JDHDHSGS

[@vynity8]

I downloaded Clip Studio Paint since January and I barely learned it from then. I finally pushed myself to to get used to it for my future artwork that I got inspiration from others. Thank you this is helpful!!

[@justagirluwu]

This is the video I needed to really get into csp after using procreate for years. You made it so simple for me to understand ahhh thank you so much

[@FancyHatching]

The most helpful about this tutorial is that we do a LOT of things in a similar way but I often feel stuck after doing lines. Flat colors are fine but I struggle with shading and finding a way that's a little painterly while still following some set stages (I need a set process for orientation and motivation). I love the way you incorporate the lineart and then paint over it. I'm definitely gonna try that and I feel super inspired by this guide, thank you so much! I'm also gonna adjust my brush interface, I wasn't aware I could change the things that were bothering me.

[@crarc.brocoli]

Oh my gosh, I just downloaded clip studio paint and I'm still getting used to it, I hope this is helpful. Also I love your videos Lauren, you inspire me so much! ❣️💖 I just finished the video and I honestly didn't know you could hide things, I thought it was a little annoying that the bars were there sometimes so this helped a lot. I often switch between the eraser and the transparent pen depending on if I want the lines to be fully erased or if I want them to be kind of transparent, and it's really nice to choose instead of turning the opacity down like I used to!

[@dreameaterarts2946]

You are the only person who has explained this in the simplest way and it's amazing.keep up the good work! All the other videos have shown there set up already nothing like the default so I can't follow the other videos properly and they skip how to show certain features with video cuts in the video.

[@Ni25-N4]

i simply abuse the pin light + lineart that you taught us!!!! i love it so much ♥ thank you for the amazing video!!!

[@daleramirez9263]

I followed the steps for the pin light and it doesn't work for me, plz help🙏

[@ScarletSky03]

I just gotta say you're a total chad for this video. You showing the "Window" tab open was when I knew I had to do the whole like and subscribe thing. That alone was /chef's kiss, so thanks.

[@believeripley]

omg my copy of csp was gifted to me august last year but i still insist on using procreate because of the intimidating interface 😭thank u so much for addressing that right off the bat and for keeping the video simple and concise 💞

[@OddTubb]

After about 6 months of using CSP I finally know how to reset my window, thank you, I may rest easier

[@nubis2419]

Hello, I wanted to say thank you for this tutorial. It was very helpful and I could make lots of notes on how to use csp thanks to you. It was easy to follow, informative and light to watch (even for me, who struggles with informatic programs a lot😅). I can't wait to master csp so I can make drawings as pretty as yours!!

[@MaliaMydnight]

This changed my whole game. Thank you SO MUCH!!! I appreciate this so much as an art noob.

[@teddycloud.287]

I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD U POSTED 💓💓💓💓 I'm planning on getting CSP soon enough, so this video will help out a lot!! ty

[@nuruhu5122]

i will say that even though I was not able to grasp everything, I definitely understood the importance of layers and grouping. I will most likely come back to this vid in the future to add to the little I have learned. THank you.

[@CaramelMood06]

Thank you so much! This is the first CSP tutorial that I watch. I hope from this lesson, I can improve my skill in CSP. And thank you so much for the linked assets!! 🙏

[@Atsv1610]

IVE BEEN DOING ART ON INFINITE PAINTER AND FLIPACLIP..SO CSP WILL BE A JOURNEY

[@maisy.a2690]

Thanks for the tutorial/guide. I figured out something from another video: In the command bar you can drag and drop your most used brushes or add in your drawing colors there - just something someone might find useful.

[@channie4lifee]

im getting a drawing tablet next week and its clip studio, I'm watching tuts on how to use clip studio and this was really helpful! God bless you and ty for the tut! (also this is the first time I'm going to be using a drawing tablet)

I don’t have clip studio but I still watched it cuz of how entertaining it is ❤

[@ayakared8153]

thank you so much for this im not really new to digital, but im new to pc digital since i was using a ipad and procreate is complety different and this helped me a lot a thank you!

[@TheMattVad3r]

I don't think I'm ready for clip studio just yet but I'm definitely keeping this video saved for later

I'm convinced - Goodbye Photoshop - Hello Clip Studio

[@sergiomorales1222]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial, helped me a lot!

[@_samyeon]

I am currently using this without paying, you think not paying for this app will limit the resources it provides?

[@caramel7168]

1:08 how do you get this pop up? I did the same steps but i didnt get this…. Im still stuck..

[@ayeoops]

click through the window tab should work, did you try shift clicking the paint button?

[@strongysmurf]

This has been so helpful!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@bluejay0010]

Tysm I actually get how to use this now

[@a.ah.689]

Just recently bought clip after using procreate for a while. Do you use a keyboard and the kamvas next to each other, or just hotkeys on the control panel on the side? Im trying to orient stuff at my desk

[@ayeoops]

i use a keyboard

[@SpiralInstallGGSF]

Good video. Made me WAY less overwhelmed

[@The_Matrix_I_Am]

13:55 is there a hotkey to switch between the colour and the transparent brush?

[@ayeoops]

it might be C by default

[@nostradoomus]

This was super helpful!! Probably a dumb question, but what does "alpha locking" mean? Ive never fully understood what locking opacity does in SAI but i assume its similar?

[@ayeoops]

it means you're locking the pixels of the layers and restricting what you draw to those existig pixels. if you draw a circle and alpha lock it, when you draw on it with a different color your brush strokes will be locked to that existing circle. its like clipping mask but within the same layer

[@sofiiac]

How do you put your brushes like that on 6:48? I can't figure it out 😭

[@ayeoops]

click the 3 lines on the top left corner of the brush window and there should be options to customize how things look

[@sofiiac]

@@ayeoops Oooh I see, thank you so much! Can I also ask, why some of them are colored but there are some of them without color (gray)? 🤔

[@ayeoops]

@@sofiiac some custom brushes also have custom icons! but most use the default grey pen icons from csp

[@sofiiac]

@@ayeoops ooh thank you so much!

[@YH_1917]

Love this video a lot

[@your_haneul7954]

this was really helpful tank you! the only problem I have is not being able to find my material download folder.

[@ayeoops]

does it not show when you go to windows>material>material: download ?

[@your_haneul7954]

@@ayeoops I didn’t have that option but I managed to find it 😭 thank you

[@BD-cd1sf]

please I need to know what texture you used 11:49 T_T It looks so nice

[@ayeoops]

you can see the name when i dragged it, but its probably from a brush that i downloaded. idk which one, but when you download custom brushes they come with the textures and will always in the texture tab in materials

[@leonidasisidorou5492]

thanks to you im buing clipstudio. Thank you very much

[@zeellat]

Hey! How can i move a layer? Which shortcut is it? I used to do it with ctrl+clic but now i cannot, i think i ve removed the shortcut and i dont know to put it back, if u can help i would be so thankful :(

[@jacerlab]

idk how but I use the gighest dip and my drawing doesn't look good at all. any tips?

[@stonesword1844]

(tamaki suoh voice) i will do it! i will learn clip studio! [surrounding club members applaud. haruhi sighs at the camera)

[@Hh-jw2fi]

Wait your clip studio paint has like the file bar at the top?? Mine doesn’t have that it’s just the second to top bar? Is that because I’m on Mac, and is there a way to make it appear? I really wanna edit my windows 😭

[@ayeoops]

it doesnt show up if you do shift tab?

[@named_aina]

if I use an ipad,do I need to connect it with a laptop while drawing?please someone tell me I'm desperate 😭😭😭

[@ayeoops]

no, you just need a drawing app on the ipad

[@paramore12555]

Just wondering, not sure if it's been asked but how do you go about printing it? I understand printers use CMYK but how do you convert that over? My JPG CMYK from CSP looks so wonky in colors compared to PNG RGB even though I started the canvas as CMYK :/

[@ayeoops]

I don't think CSP can convert actual files to CYMK, it just allows you to preview the colors in CYMK

[@paramore12555]

@@ayeoops Ohh.. so we're just able to preview what it COULD look like when we print it?

[@noemichiatto2603]

It's clear the function of the box at the right side where there are also the layers, can you make a tutorial about it?

[@libfuzzy4629]

Awesome tutorial

[@Shmaples]

Does anyone know what hardware she uses to draw (drawing pad? ipad?) i cant find it anywhere.

[@ayeoops]

its in the description, i used kamvas 13 for this !

[@mrzksfea_san]

It’s really help me for who just starts to use clip studio! But can someone teach me how to flip the layer? I mean like we drawed the eye and copy paste it for the other layer . But I couldn’t find how to flip it 😢

[@ayeoops]

this is how i flip: select what you want to flip, ctrl+t for the transform menu, right click and click "horizontal flip"

[@Epopine]

Really helpful!!

[@vynsterr]

what is click and drag??

[@anitatapiocah]

When you click down with your mouse or pen/tool, and instead of letting go you just hold it down and drag it across the screen. This works best for tools like "close and fill" under the fill bucket, but also works for other tools/settings : )

[@vynsterr]

@@anitatapiocah i dont understand T-T

Not me watching this with no money to buy cps and perfectly happy with using ibis on my phone👁️👄👁️

[@i_dontlikemilk]

Hey I know this comment is 10 months old but I’m watching this video cus csp is currently doing a sale and I got the pro for 15 gbp (I’m in the uk) just so you know if you’re still interested!

[@Ultrikadrawz]

Think you can use csp for free but only for 30 hours of use

[@mk-aka-morgan8386]

I’m not interested in CSP because I prefer free programs, like the heathen I am 🙊 But I have a lot of friends who use CSP who might like this 🥺

[@jeaniegirlover5335]

This has very little to do with the video (which is very nice and insightful, thank you for making it) but it is such a big character design pet peeve of mine when characters have two sets of ears. So I'm just watching this video with my eye twitching because the ears are so distracting. This is SO a me problem and do not mean you're bad at art or that video is bad. I just needed to say this so I can focus on the actually information in the video.

[@ayeoops]

totally understand. in this case, its not explained in the vid but they're not deer ears, they're sensors rather. doesn't use them to hear if that makes it any better 😅

[@jeaniegirlover5335]

@@ayeoops I get that but for me it just makes the head very busy for my taste. I would've made them a bit smaller or thinner so they take up less space on the head and placed them farther away from the ears like on the top of the head or closer to the forehead where insects have antennae. The design as is can easily be confused as a fawn or satyr character. If that wasn't the intent may be a design tweak is in order (if you can or want to, the design isn't bad just confusing and crowded)

[@IlyaLebedev-p1r]

Nice

[@anakoalla]

cool

[@mydearestangeIica]

In my opinion Clip Studio Paint is like a slightly better version of IbisPaint X

they're sensors, not ears. she doesn't use them to hear. but even if she did, what's wrong with 4 ears? 😅😅
