REVIEW ✦ CLIP STUDIO PAINT

[@hhgnggnjngnmnnh5291]

my parents promised me a purchase of csp EX a little while back, and it seems like a great program so i still plan to get it. it’s a shame they’ve decided to go subscription-only, especially given the known hatred toward adobe for that same reason. i know a lot of artists feel betrayed due to the announcement, and i don’t blame them.

[@reianae.smiley8573]

They're still offering one-time purchase. You can still the V1 perpetual license. I plan to do that, and upgrade to V3 later down the line.

[@CavesAndCorvids]

@@reianae.smiley8573 nah the new one time purchase will only be 2.0, if u want more than that you need to get an update pass

[@stephani3541]

@@CavesAndCorvids you won’t get the updates in between, but you will have access to V3 when it comes out

[@poslv9029]

@@CavesAndCorvids every x.0 version is a one time purshase, and the versions in between will require an update pass. sure, it kinda sucks, but its not as subscription based as their mobile app and it's way Wayy better than whatever shitshow adobe is doing. so tbh im not that mad

[@reianae.smiley8573]

@@poslv9029 I'm not too mad about it. Just curious. I think it could explained a bit better.

[@Tashyuu]

I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW MY BRUSH ASSET AT 1:31 (the second one: flat paint and blend brush) I live and die by CSP and I'm so glad you were able to use it and enjoy. Also I didn't know you had a youtube! Awesome 💖

[@lunardum]

THATS YOU?! Thank you for your contributions!!

[@Tashyuu]

@@lunardum WOW, Thank you so much!! 💖

[@lisaia7877]

You make brushes? Howwwww o_o!

[@bxwieknife]

I’ve used Clip for years now and I’m always so excited when someone tries it out!!! Also, is the lineart brush you use one that you downloaded? Because the texture of it combined with the soft coloring in your work is GORGEOUS and I feel so inspired rn!!!

[@bxwieknife]

(Also if it’s downloaded I would love the brush ID ;;)

[@amirakynocyo]

its 1692034 brush name is "・Tマーカー/ ベース塗 " but he changed the brush settings :)))

[@asherz2]

as a paint tool sai user; it was (and still is) insanely hard for me to get used to this program, everything is so different and drawing in the program is something i'm still learning how to do, but i do like it!

[@prod.StarChild]

Hello~ i understand that this video was composed in a couple of months but .. it would be ideal to mention that clip studio paint is moving towards people paying for updates in 2023

[@prod.StarChild]

@@machinegunpiss774 and it’s not just yearly… there’s such thing as monthly update passes ..

[@prod.StarChild]

@@machinegunpiss774 alright you’ve made your point

[@bobob9969]

@@prod.StarChild "From today, we will offer MONTHLY usage plans for Clip Studio Paint. With a range of options, MONTHLY usage plans allow artists to more easily use Clip Studio Paint across multiple devices (Windows/macOS/iPad/iPhone) with ONE COMBINED PLAN. Plans come as affordable monthly payments OR as annual payments to save up to 51%. We will also continue to offer the single-payment download and packaged versions of Clip Studio Paint." so tldr of it is you buy BAREBONES v2, and pay for the updates. If you stop, you lose the updates and go back to the oldest v2 version. You weren't really wrong. I'd stop talking to that person, they seem like a hardcore stan. You can find evidence of this in other news articles and the website itself. Please just use whatever programs you're comfortable with and fits within your budget.

[@spine1706]

It's so sad that csp will become a subscription service soon. That was the one thing that made it better than Photoshop.

[@jenixelle8298]

I mean kind of, you get to keep V1 without a subscription and V1 has pretty much all the features you need. It’s just with V2 and V3 you pay upfront then a subscription for the additional updates which is still pretty scummy.

[@reianae.smiley8573]

It's not gonna be a full subscription service, IIRC.

[@rarabang3584]

@@jenixelle8298 yeah, but how long is V1 gonna work before the software of your device changes too much? With every software update they’d need to update V1 too (which I don’t think they will) or else it’ll get buggy or might not work at all.

[@spine1706]

@@jenixelle8298 after V3 they plan to drop support for V1

[@ok-bf7kj]

@@spine1706 that is true, but the thing is, with dropped support that only means they wont do bug fixes. and i have had friends that used softwares that similar things happened, and it takes ab 5-10 years for the software to actually fully break. dropped support doesnt mean its gonna break as soon as v3 drops but ill say its far more likely the software lasts for ATLEAST 6 more years after the supports dropped unless windows drops a fatass update that breaks many many more old apps which is very unlikely

[@yunamoonlight1015]

I literally wanted to get CSP and while I was trying out the trial version, the bombshell of the subscription service dropped. So if I decide to get CSP, it's definitely only gonna be when 2.0 comes out, because the 60$ for 1.0 would be a total waste. But it's really a **** move to have people pay for version 2.0 AND make them get a monthly subscription for the 2.x updates.

[@eris2268]

nah, its just how purchasing software used to work with an extra option to get more features over time before the next version for a subscription

[@verendale1789]

I kinda disagree with this logic cuz the value you got for under a 100 bucks compared to other programs is insane still.

[@yunamoonlight1015]

@@verendale1789 Well, I haven't really used it much yet, so I can't argue on that point. I will have to just trust your statement on it. But I think that they should either have you buy the whole thing or get a subscription, not both.

[@reidleblanc3140]

1.0 isn't a total waste lmfao

[@牛奶-i4c]

theres an asset in the store that is completely free and it colors in your lines for you, no blobs needed, just select the asset in the lasso area, set the line art to a reference layer, make a layer under the line art, then use it wear you want to color it in. i’m not good at explaining it, but you might be able to find it in a Kooleen art tip video.

[@kruggerand1019]

When I first started CSP it was wild very confusing to me when it came to customizing my work space and all the small things hidden away in little off tabs was wild I loved it yes but it was a definite learning curve since it was my first purchased program

[@lauren-mh6is]

its really interesting seeing the perspective of an inspirational artist (for me) reviewing a program i already use. ive been using it for way over a year now but still found this video so interesting :)

[@loserchips1112]

Heartmush I always love watching your speedpaints! Your process is so fun to see progress as the drawing gets more and more finished - About clip studio paint, my experience with it was definitely overwhelming as it was the FIRST drawing program I had ever tried. (It came with the wacom tablet i got) unfortunately i cannot go back to it now that im more experienced, but I definitely get what you mean about all those buttons and having no idea what they mean

[@amirakynocyo]

just a great review! I myself use clip studio and I want to note that you can load brushes from Photoshop into clip studio, it's very convenient!!!

[@back136]

God dang it, I didn’t even want to watch a review of csp..BUT GOD DAMN IT THAT THUMBNAIL LURED ME IN

[@thecoolerspringtrap40]

Your art is always such a treat to the eye 🥰🥰🥰🥹

[@jhessicacomjh]

I've been using Photoshop for years and I'm always confused when opening CSP. However, your experience motivated me to try again! Great video =)

[@milkknrice]

When the moth strated twitching I instantly got goosebumps! I love it 😩

[@wadalapichu4873]

i didnt knew that u could change the layout like photoshop, thank you for showing this!:)

[@LizzieZips]

when i went to a friends house a while back, i got to try clip studio paint (and a drawing tablet) for the first time! it was a lil confusing as i use ibis paint but it was really fun!

[@yamchayaku]

I used Photoshop for decades. Stopped using it because overall expense is too much. I hate subscription plans for work applications. Clip Studio Paint gives you a much bigger bang for your buck. We need more companies rivaling Adobe because they gouge the crap out of their products.

[@beefwhale]

CSP has recently changed to a subscription service...

[@yamchayaku]

@@beefwhale I know that. It feels like a betrayal. I've even dropped money for the EX version so I can animate. I'm currently using Affinity and CSP. I'll probably move to Affinity alone once CSP decides to intentionally break their 1.0 version of the app, which will probably be in the near future.

[@beefwhale]

@@yamchayaku I agree, it's such a huge step back

[@SeaSerpentLevi]

@@yamchayaku i dont understand why people believe it will be so soon. A lot of old software that is no longer supported is still used by artists nowadays. Clip studio v1 is certanly still going to work fine for years and the subscription is for v2 not v1 so dont worry about it ma man :0

[@yamchayaku]

@@SeaSerpentLevi I'm hoping so

[@carpeillenota5251]

This video made me finally make up my mind about buying the program and hopefully using it to improve. I'm still quite new and have been using photoshop to try learn how to do digital art but it has just been more annoying then anything as I also use photoshop for actual image editing of photos I take with my phone irl and I have to re adjust some parts of it every time I swap between image editing and drawing. Thank you for the helpful video and hope to see you use it in the future to try and achieve further goals and reach beyond your imagination in what you make.

[@begonestink2956]

Might want to look into that again, CSP is going to become a subscription-based service soon like adobe and the backlash isn't looking great, lmao...

[@saypikapika3004]

@@begonestink2956 Pretty sure version 1 is a permanent license, but for version 2, you need to buy passes if you wanna upgrade to version 2.x, etc etc

[@carpeillenota5251]

@@saypikapika3004 i think this is the case and im like 80% sure you can't buy version 2 rn so if you buy it now you get to keep it as is. (dont hold me to this and please correct me if im wrong ty)

I use CSP have 2 years and w this video i discovered that i can customize the workspace 😭😭😭😭

[@tuyiyeitoto]

i just woke up,, anyways, it's always a treat watching your videos! they're really cool, and i'm also planning on trying out Clip Studio Paint in the future, it seems interesting. i really like your artworks too, this one in particular is really wonderful, partly 'cause it's so pretty to look at, but honestly a little unnerving too after staring at it for a while. that aside, i love your artstyle! it's really yummy and i love the colour palettes you use, and the shading is really good, it doesn't have overly detailed rendering but it's still awesome!

[@lawsdraws]

Weeew, I am a CSP noob, and there's a lot going on! You make it look easy!

[@マリちゃん-o3y]

please list pen brush used in animation! (8:48) the animation is wonderfully and I would like attempt as well.

[@CavesAndCorvids]

What’s your opinion on the new CSP update thing? That now everyone needs to pay subscription to get the new updates?

[@ja2mine]

csp glitched for me so i got it for free and never had to pay, i love it smm it’s such a nice program

[@backgroundcharacter2615]

I’m broke so I’ll have to be sticking to Krita. Csp seems so easy to use though.

i recommend searching for references at pinterest but cnp's 3d model is also a good thing too

[@Saros_Anims]

Im planning on trying CSP and i.. have only used FlipAClip, Ibis Paint X, and Firealpaca! So.. i think this is going to be very scary for me. (If anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it!) Im planning on changing to CSP because it seems reliable and i know a few people who use it! But.. this review has shown me the goods and the bads! Im not sure what else to say, i just know this was a great review video for me!

[@devjesusc]

Thanks for the video, I also agree and all topics. I guess CSP will get much better on future versions, and perhaps they include some AI to assist the help section. :-)
