Clip Studio Paint Tutorial 🎓 Master the Fill Tool (Colour faster and better)

[@JennaDrawing]

I had absolutely no idea the fill tool in CSP was so good!! This is such a helpful tutorial, thanks Nadia!! 💖

[@Nadiaxel]

RIGHT? My mind was blown away too when I started to dig into it XD

[@bradbowlamma3039]

@@Nadiaxel a feature I really like is the models... before I had to make my pose in a different app, screen shot, transfer to drawing program and use as layer 1 and tbt its pretty tricky when you got characters placed in front the other

[@tearstoneactual9773]

One of the best Clip Studio tutorials I've ever seen and explains the fill tool so much better than Iv'e heard. I've been using it for a long time, but this will help immensely. I learned a bunch of new, useful stuff. Thank you, Nadia.

[@Nadiaxel]

I'm sooooooo super happy to hear that ;___; I'm always afraid if I over/under-explain or just talk gibberish that no one can figure out XD;; So I'm very, very happy whenever someone learns something from my videos! Thank you so much for watching ^^

[@tearstoneactual9773]

@@Nadiaxel - I've been watching you for a long time. Your tutorials are always great. Thank you so much for the art and education over the years.

[@omarkz6203]

Truly helpful ! Thank you so much, your tutorials are super clear Nadia ! ❤

[@romepa03]

I totally agree with you 👍🏻

[@edengrey670]

Clip studio should've paid you for this it was so extensive and well explained thank you so much !

[@Nadiaxel]

Haha, you're super sweet! 😚 I've worked with them before and they're super nice - maybe I'll get to do that again in the future ^^ Thank you so much for watching 💖

[@jenjentendo]

And here I was, using CSP for years (I came from a PS background originally), using the selection tool as a means of blocking, then having to go back, fix my selection, then use the fill tool, and then to create ANOTHER selection for ANOTHER area meant for ANOTHER block of color--as you can see this was my process for awhile before I could find a solid tutorial that could teach me how to color in CSP in the most efficient way possible. Thank you a million times. This has been a gamechanger for me.

[@clockworkNate]

Watching your video is like working a giant field with just your hands and then looking over your shoulder and suddenly seeing actual farm machinery. Not even joking this will all save me many hours of work and I wish I looked this up sooner. Thank you so much! Got a sub from me!

[@GuranPurin]

Amazing guide! I had no idea how people were coloring so efficiently in this program (I was basically doing it by hand), this is incredible and makes me more excited to really improve my drawing. Thank you so much for the guide!

[@ZooTycoonLord]

Ive been using CSP for 3 and a half years now and I absolutely love it. Much better than Photoshop, personally.

[@Nadiaxel]

I had such a hard time letting go of Photoshop for some reason. But then I realized it was probably because I was just afraid to dive into something new and leave something comfortable behind. Now I'm only frustrated that I didn't go to CSP sooner 😅 It makes such a difference to work in a program that was specificly designed for artists!

[@PoshOx]

I’ve used CSP for about 5 years now and I can’t believe how much my mind was just blown all because it never occurred to me to look at fill tool properties.

[@nickmoy5058]

Another tip when using the fill bucket tool: Hold down and drag your cursor across your line art and it will fill all the areas you drag to. Much easier than clicking 10 times on each enclosed area. Additionally, similar to the "connected pixels only" part at 16:51 ,but with even more control: Say you only want to change half of your blue areas to red. Start your cursor in a blue area, hold and drag the fill tool over those blue areas and it will change them to red. CSP will intelligently know you only want to change that blue hue and will ignore all other colors as you drag your cursor around the page.

[@studiobrushpen]

Great tips! I was so happy when I learned ‘area scaling’. And yes- the reference layers. Just what we needed! Thanks so much for your videos- you inspired me to start my own drawing channel! 😊

[@Nadiaxel]

Agreed!! When I discovered the Reference Layer my entire world turned upside-down XD And the area scaling just upped the overall quality of my coloring! Thank you so much for watching! :D

[@Styxintheriver]

Every program uses the fill tool differently and ive used four. Clip Studio is my newest and you have rescued me from SO much hassle thank y o u

[@lostfoundstudios]

This literally just cut my coloring time in half! I feel like I should send you a free book when I print next month! Thankyou!!!!

[@MrNiskratus]

absolutely amazing, I've been using Clip Studio for years (started back when it was Manga Studio), but i was always to scared to fiddle with these tools because i never had an explicit example of how they worked. Thank you, this is going to change my work flow so much. 🤩

[@Alfos001]

Wow! I don't think I've ever sat through a more informative, smooth flowing tutorial dedicated to the usage of a single tool! Seriously those were incredible if not game-changing tips, even for my amature works! Thanks a bunch! 😄👍

[@howai4204]

THE QUEEN HAS RETURNED

[@Nadiaxel]

SOOOO happy to be back 🥰 thank you for sticking around!!!

[@Okami_Senpai_88]

I've just started learning to draw and got myself Clip studio Paint yesterday. This tutorial was super helpful so thank you very much!! I always love when a tutorial explains why things do what they do instead of just showing you which buttons to press etc without understanding any of it.

[@samueltimothy636]

Thank you so much for this kind of information. It’s makes it a lot easier for me to finish my artwork/animation twice as fast now.

[@Nadiaxel]

aaaaa I'm super happy you found the video useful C: Thank you so much for watching 💝

[@kali882]

I didn't know that I could do all of that! All this time suffering using the brush tool. And look at this tutorial, just some clicks and bam! Thank you so muucchhh!!!

[@mjpete27]

I am truly amazed that you are giving superior instruction in a free video! I have paid for poorer instruction! I remember when Photoshop added selection adjustments to their selection tools, and you show even more options for the fill tool! I have not even opened Photoshop in months, nor any art programs on my computer! I guess that is the reason why my viewing is a bit tardy from your posting this video. I am glad that you are doing well and posting again. I look forward to watching more of your superior art content! Excellent instruction for all of your viewers! Please take care, be safe and have yourself a lovely day!

[@Nadiaxel]

So good to see you here >w< And thank you for sticking around and encouraging me all this time C: I was honestly surprised to see how many tools CSP were offering compared to Photoshop. I used to think that Photoshop had it all (and it DOES in terms of photo-editing etc.), but there's clearly a difference from PS to CSP. It's clear that CSP was MADE for artists/illustrators whereas Photoshop "just" happens to also include drawing tools. I still love Photoshop for setting up graphics, but I will probably never really draw in it again. Thank you for watching >w< and you be safe too!

[@hungxiangproductions]

I''m a beginner, and I spend about 20 min, now I'm master now!(this vide helps a lot to me!)

[@silvarafafeitosa]

I already knew most of this stuff but it was so worth watching it for that one little thing I didn't know I could do. Great video!

[@eggoatt]

bless this video, i recently moved over from medibang to csp and felt like i was constantly wrestling with the fill tool because mb had such a simple one

[@senipie]

THAT LAST TIP WAS SO GOOD!!! no more having to constantly have my flats in separate layers thank you thank you so much for this very informative video!

[@greenpondcreative]

I’ve used PS all my years as an illustrator. Now this is starting to convince me to transfer entirely to Clip Studio. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@ParadiseofDarkness]

Thank you, I just bought my csp this December and was going to use it until... windows update decide to kill my PC so.. still working on that. Your tutorial very informative and straight cut to the stuff I wanted to learn. I wish I has this back in my day when I was a flatter.... I even how my old video of coloring jazza contest color of lost and helping people with my ramble talks.

[@Nadiaxel]

Oh nooo... I hope you can fix your computer problem soon ;___; So you can get back to drawing. I'm so happy to use CSP now (especially after getting to know the software better) and I hope my tutorials will help you guys to get to know it better fast so you can just enjoy using it ^-^

[@conebride2581]

This is a fantastic tutotrial! So detailed and well presented -- I have given up on fill due to it always feeling wrong, I think I'm gonna revisit it soon to much much better results!

[@malachyte_art]

This is the first time an explanation about the fill tools actually told me how the settings work and what they mean. I've been trying for YEARS to understand all these settings, but no one explains the "why" behind them! Thank you so much, this is huge for me.

[@ayalamelanie184]

I havent finished the video, but I HAVE finished sitting in self-directed anger for 5 minutes after reading that amazing Refer Multiple tip. I never even knew the fill tool had a Tool property window!! HOW have I gone over a year without knowing that was an option?? It wouldve cut my coloring time by HOURS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. That tip alone has made me so happy. THANK YOU!! (sorry if my english is bad, its my second language)

[@anarchist_loli9624]

This was so UNBELIEVABLY HELPFUL! I've never coloured my works because it took to long and never looked good. I tried the fill tool but would just end up getting a full page of colour. Now I know what to do to properly use the tool! Thanks Nadia!

[@newmanwolfry1630]

I feel like I levelled up irl after watching this tutorial. Coloring has always been a hassle for me to figure out in digital art and this tutorial so good. No nonsense, straight to the point, extensively explaining the tool and all the properties so you actually *understand* exactly what you're doing when using the tool.

[@kcr8776]

This literally changed my life. All this time I had no idea you had to set the fill tool to refer to multiple layers. And here I thought I was just that bad at lineart! Thank you so much for this

[@TripleTXL]

Thank you for this tutorial, I just got clip studio paint and was confused about colouring, this helped me understand it much better. Keep it up 👍

[@lindy7149]

This is by far the best tutorial video for Clip Studio I have seen yet! I always feel like I’m doing so much guesswork when I work digitally because I don’t fully understand the tools I’m using, but I have trouble finding good comprehensive tutorials. This video was exactly what I’ve always wanted, I finally feel like I can use at least one element of Clip to its full potential! Subbed and liked, hoping for many more Clip Studio tutorials like this one!

I bought CSP around 4 years ago but I couldn't get to change to it from SAI for all that time. Lately I finally made a step forward and finished my first very simple piece in it. This video turned out to be very, very helpful as I had some troubles with the fill tool. Great thanks!

[@Zyrodil]

For years I've wondered why the hell I couldn't use the fill tool like the artists I admired, turns out they used CSP and they used the Tolerance setting. Thank you for saving me thousands of hours.

[@phantomapprentice6749]

Coming from Photoshop I hardly ever used the fill tool, this restores my faith in it , thanks.

[@davidnorman6348]

An excellent Video! Clear speech and you show in close up where to go in the tool bars to find the functions you describe. Thank you Nadiaxel! I'm switching from Photoshop after 20 years. I've tested other software but find that CSP understands the needs of an illustrator. A tip from me on selecting: Sometimes its quicker to go around an area with the lasso leaving some space. You can then shrink the selection to the intended area by subracting with the magic wand selector on minus. Super drawing, by the way! I'll seek out your other tutorials.

[@rabpanz6145]

Oh my god!! The Paint Unfilled Area tool just blew my mind!! I've been using CSP for a little while and I had no idea that was there, this solves SUCH an annoying problem so easily!! You're a lifesaver!

[@07kamichamakarin]

I find that so funny on how you react "Blyuck!" on the white spaces on Area scaling because it was so relatable

[@Jipposan]

Thank you for this! =) I found tons of useful info for me about the bucket/fill tool. I sparingly use the fill tool and with all the knowledge from your video, I might actually learn to use it more often from now on.

[@ladykimono401]

Changed from Photoshop to CSP last year and its such a HUGE help! Especially the fact that you can drag 3D items and models into your 2D canvas for easy reference^_^ Oh and of course the fact that you can have a sub view of your actual reference...

[@Nadiaxel]

The 3D models were actually my first motivation to use CSP 😆 They're SUPER helpful. And now that they released Primitives, it has made my life so much easier! Sometimes I just spend hours building poses and sometimes I upload them to the asset store. This software just has it all. Thank you so much for watching 🥰

They are always very informative but not boring and I'm always excited when I see your videos poping in my youtube timeline ! I should use CSP more often, but I tend to stick to photoshop because of some brushes which I really like the feeling (the macalabs brush and another very sketchy one) though I should kick myself more often to open CSP instead of Photoshop lol ! I hope you're doing better now and I can't wait to see more of you, here or Instagram ! ♥

[@RenildaCreativeSpace]

I like your intonation when you say "Is this!!" 😂😂😂 Thank you for your tutorials its help a lot!

[@davidci]

One thing that helped me so much in using the fill tool (and coloring in general) is by using vector layers for the linework! This made it so that it will be more accurate and much less necessary to constantly tweak my settings, because vector lineart uses a mathematical path for the linework. As long as you check the 'fill up to vector path' tickbox and make sure that you set up your vector lineart as reference layer, you can easily color it in!
