HOW TO COLOR YOUR DRAWINGS in CLIP STUDIO PAINT

[@YTartschool]

CLASS IS FINALLY IN SESSION. That was a fun one 😚 this process is so basic you should be able to follow in almost any software. I put this together before CSP made any changes to pricing BTW and mostly because that’s what most of my students use. Would’ve been cool to know they had a bombshell announcement right before I released the video but eh 🤷‍♂️ still doesn’t change the fact it’s the best alternative to Photoshop out there… for now!

[@eminor9196]

clip studio will still have a one time purchase option alongside the subscription model, the old version programms just not getting updates anymore next year. so you're fine mr.brunet

[@nelsinki5177]

Thanks so much for your vídeos, you put so much experience on those, hope your classes sell well and get a lot of work. ^^

[@birdywren5277]

Was wondering when you'd try Clip Marc!! :D Version 1 is still the best photoshop alternative (for now)

[@miwiarts]

Clip Studio will still be one-time-purchase, For CSP1.0, CSP2.0, and 3.0. The updates inbetween as subscription based, however. It's like a mixture between Sony Vegas and Photoshop's model.

[@CrimsonLadyVT]

iirc csp still have the option for one time purchase. 😁 But only for the older versions. Once the newest one comes out that's the only one that'll be subscription based. And also if you're wanting newer features on your one time purchased versions that's where the subscription comes in too. That's from what I understood. I hope I also said it well. English is hard it's not my first language hahahha but thank you for the video, Marc! Been really struggling w coloring hahahah 🤣 this is like my calling.

[@HAZUisHere]

Marc Brunet "Coloring is hard" Me: "Yes it is" Also Marc: Proceeds to make one of the most professional and beautiful looking art that looks so 3D it looks like it was made in a 3d modeling program while making it look easy to understand so that hundreds and thousands of people can learn. This man is a treasure.

[@melty4204]

Just so you know the wand tool in CPS actually has a "close gap" setting that will make it bridge gaps in linework with the max size of the gaps being determined by the value it's set to. It's not perfect of course, since it can result in false positives but those can usually be quickly fixed with the lasso tool. But honestly, it's shocking of often close gaps on its own nails it, even with line work that has a lot of intentionally lost edges. The fill bucket also has this close gap feature, as well as the ability to "overfill" the area by a certain number of pixels. This can potentially eliminate the need for a selection in the first place, especially if you intend your lineart to be visible at the end. You can even drag the bucket over multiple areas to fill them all the same color.

[@linklegend50]

Not only that but the colorize feature too and the feature to select all parts that share one color instead of lassoing all the parts of the same color. I hope Marc can implement those quality of life features on his workflow soon!

[@leticiabarreiros5621]

Also instead of going back to the flats layer to select areas with the same color, you can set it up as a reference layer for the wand tool and it will select stuff from there even if you're on another layer.

[@Kiwi-fl8te]

That's amazing.

[@cuebanb4227]

I typically use 15 layers in CSP for a picture and you've just condensed that down to 6. Thanks Marc! Your teaching style is superb :)

[@ayaneagano6059]

I do 30~50 layers on average (per character), 100 or more if that includes a background… 😅 crazy

[@matsujun4me]

Lol, me too! 🤣

[@crovolo1117]

@@ayaneagano6059 me too

[@BloodPlusPwn]

lol I end up with a new layer with like every new thing I wanna do. It's probably not the best habit since I start losing track of what's where so I just make another layer and paint over it lol

Clip studio paint drama is happening, wasn't expecting this video ahaha

[@Numbll]

Recently I'm seeing alot of artist mentiong csp. They are desperate for us to come back after what they said.

[@seraph1690]

Clip studio started paying/partnering with youtubers so new people comes, they have very very good deal right now of 23 euros as "only payment", but newcomers dont know that they will need to pay more for updates

[@Combsstudio]

Honestly (I know this is controversial in the artist world), I’m waiting to see the prices before bashing them. There’s a lot of positives with having monthly payments roll in for us (not the company). The biggest being, they can hire more people and get new perspectives and tool/idea creation. I’m also not backing them because if I have to pay $20 a month to use csp, then I’m out. I’ll figure out sketchbook because it’s free and pretty darn good. Or I might look into art rage or one of those other bigger chunk one payment types.

[@hernancito8104a]

Well, he had it prepared like a month ago, before the drama, and I'm glad he did for the people that already bought CSP before the drama like me xD

[@OsirisAltamirano]

Who do you think sponsored the video?

[@tastefullynerdy1161]

As someone who's just gotten into CSP, this video is awesome

[@fuggleeartshow]

I really liked seeing a full work flow. I draw a lot, but pretty much never color because it seems intimidating. Seeing a step by step work flow demystifies the process. I'm going to re watch this multiple times as I follow along and color my own stuff. Thanks!

[@kennareadsss3986]

I’m so excited for this bc me and my dad use Clip Art Studio and we really like your teaching style. We are actual fixing to enroll in your class I’m pretty sure

[@yz2334]

Great as always, I've been waiting for this one for weeks. I like the shots in 8:17 where we can see your hands working not just the screen recording, you should do them more often.

[@TreshToons]

Hey Mark, you'll probably never see this but i keep coming back to this video for the past 2 weeks and it has helped me take my art to another level that i've been wanting for so long after almost 8 years of freelance illustration. I have to work at a callcenter atm so i barely get time to draw, but once a week i get excited to try and be better at this particular technique, i haven't felt proud of something i've drawn in a long time, thanks a lot man.

[@jaegermonster9549]

I'm really happy I finally got to buy Marc's Art School program and now every video from him has some extra magic alongside the vast foundation in the course. Also as a long time CSP-EX user, this is a great video theme. CSP has formidable resources and, even if it becomes a subscription service, it will still be very competitive. I don't have any issues with paying for quality.

[@roleoffate]

Marc's videos are literal "digital art gold". These classes are easily worth the value, and his instruction, tips and tricks and brushes are phenomenal. So glad I stumbled upon his channel. Easily some of the highest tier education I have found. 11/10. Thanks for the videos Marc!

[@watLegends]

It’s insane how much it looks like a 3D model before the lighting phase, I think I’ve seen a workflow that gives it this look in the process.

[@deadbolt1269]

Congrats in this Teacher's Day! Thanks for choosing such noble profession.

[@tiagopintoart]

That smart bucket fill, and vector inking/cleanup process just won me over.

[@octonolite_0]

Thanks for another great tutorial, Marc. I like that you included real-time shots of you painting so that we can get an idea of your actual paint strokes instead of just seeing time-lapses of the cursor movement. It's really helpful.

[@phantomapprentice6749]

Nice to see Marc got some sense and started working with a program that is actually meant for painting.

[@matoros4576]

Thank you!!! You have no idea how much i struggled with this... I've been seeing very good progress until i reached this step, but once i did, I couldnt figure it out no matter how many videos i watched. But this 12 minute banger is a gamechanger.

Mr Marc Brunet!!!! I have finally gotten a chance to try this colouring tutorial for clipstudio, and as someone who has been using clipstudio for years and have always avoided colour work....it's overwhelming and scary.....i have to say this tutorial is fantastic, very easy to follow, effective techniques and very accessible, entertaining too, i have followed your channel for quite a while now and am delighted to have found this video, i love clipstudio and you have broadened my knowledge substantially. thank you so much!!! keep up the good work!

[@youshimimi]

On one hand I'm super excited for an art class from Marc in CPS! On the other hand, OF COURSE Clip studio is sponsoring art classes to improve their image after what they have done. So predictable. ...but the first hand is stronger, I know the video is going to be great.

[@ourlordandsaviorkurapika9818]

Please what did csp do ?

[@youshimimi]

@@ourlordandsaviorkurapika9818 they are switching to a hybrid subscription system. We all bought the base version with the promise of frequent updates, now they are taking all of the updates away and putting them behind a monthly subscription. If you stop paying one month, they will force you back to basic version and you may not be able to even open your CSP files you made with the updated version. And, to boot, after two years the basic version will be obsolete, so everyone will have to buy a brand new basic version. Even people who paid for subscriptions. It's insane.

Marc, your channel is a treasure! Thanks to your videos, my skill has improved SIGNIFICANTLY.

Thanks for all your videos on the channel, especially for the shading and anatomy lessons. I can't believe HOW much they helped me!

A cool CSP tip I have taught on my videos as well that I will share with you is using the Lasso Fill tool (U) to lay out your flats. It works the same as a lasso tool BUT you easily and instantly fill with color everything you capture with it. You can also adjust the stability in case you have shakey old man hands like me :P

[@tenebraeusfinsterbann]

I am currently getting slowly in touch with your technique, since I always got stuck in heavy detailed outlines and after a while trying to multi layer color something I already spent too much time on, made me often quit midst most of my drawings. But .. BEHOLD - Messias Marc came to the Rescue ! -introducing me to this kind of very clever coloring where decisions of light and shadow are made quite early, and heavy reducing the amount of time and layers I normally work on one drawing. I absolutely adore your KZbin artschool and since i found you - i am always on board for your newest video. You really helped me improve my skills in so many ways. Although I often thought, I would be too bad at learning something new, when i got frustrated over the amount of pictures I never finished. (Also your previous video was again - a great help to improve there, too. Thank you so much!)

Boy do I have bad news. Clip Studio is moving to a subscription

[@That1Weeb]

@@elk3407 if you read their post thats not actually true. To summarize: 1. 1.0 users will stop getting updates and support. We get to keep the version as long as we want 2. With version 2.0, theres a base version and a subscription for special featuress. Basically, unless you want the new features, (which current CSP has hundreds youll likely never even use) it doesnt matter so long as your computer OS can run you 1.0 version Overall it sucks. They broke their promise with the original version, but at least they are letting us keep what we paid for. The scummy thing is that they are stopping all bug fixes for 1.0 users

[@elk3407]

😮 My jaw is on the floor. It was driving me crazy how every time you open CSP, there’s these BEAUTIFUL examples in the offers and contests the devs made in it, but I couldn’t figure out how they did it because I used to use Gimp, so my own coloring has always been flat and bland. My anatomy needs a lot of work as well!! Now this will be a game changer for me! Don’t know if I’ll win the latest CSP contest, but it’s 4 days to enter.

[@channjei7459]

Holy cow, 7 layers in one stunning outcome ♥️

[@hugocarvalho8906]

@Marc Brunet , test the vector layer for your sketch’s and linework… in clipstudio the vector recognizes size pressure and opacity pressure , your drawings will not lose quality (you can set the vector line quality in the vector line options so doesn’t appear pixelated ), you will discover it’s a life saving for flat coloring cause you can set the line layer as reference and in a layer bellow use the paint bucket (you can set to paint until the middle of the vector lines, so you won’t have to select all the sections)… what I do normally is make the lines in vector, set as ref (the lighthouse icon, you find this one in the same area of the lock transparent pixels ), then select outside with the wand and invert selection, make a new layer and put gray, then I use the paint bucket in a layer above the gray one but clipped to the gray layer (to clip you get the layer above and click the icon that is in the left side of the lighthouse icon)…and put all the colors I want in the areas with the paint bucket.

[@RathRaholand]

Yes, this was GLORIOUS. One of my main issues is effectively using the lasso tool, because I can never keep on my lineart. Apparently I have far less hand-eye coordination than is to be expected of a digital artist lol Although, to circumvent this, I meticulously go over the inside border of an area and just fill the color. Does it take an extra bit of time? Yes it does! Ive been doing it that for so long, I know not any other way. Marc, teach me your ways! 😭 🙏🏿

Going from coloring, shading, and lighting on one drawing the way you do in a coloring book to coloring with multiple layers is intimidating especially if you have never used a layering system. However, once you master the program and its tools and get the hang of playing with layers, you'll find its very easy. I've done quite impressive work without using layers. The key is having a good understanding of how light effects an object. Shading and lighting are the most important skills and once you master them you can make anything look good.
