[@luizak6443]

literally perfect timing, I was talking with a friend about wanting to get into digital art using CSP, but I found the UI intimidating. saving this for later and I'll definitely share it around!

[@D4NIM4LS]

Same here, just got it recently and still learning things on my own. Got into watching videos like this for some help haha, this is by far the most in-depth/covering one so far.

[@ReiTheReader]

KZbin knows what u want and what are u doing cuz ur data (camera, audio, apps cash, search history...) already sold

[@boritroll6423]

I've been working with design for 5-6 years. A few days ago I first heard about CSP, now I'm watching this and doesn't understand how people still use Photoshop and Procreate for drawing while this app exists. Thank you so much, guide is amazing!

[@soop5706]

I've had csp for a while now but I never got to learning it properly so I've just been using the basic tools. Thank you for making this!!! (and also thank you for making it interesting to watch by being conversational :0)

[@cheltsu]

i felt super confident with photoshop, but because i can't keep up with the updates/terrible sub prices, ive been trying to get better at csp and the trial and error isn't going too hot.. hoping this guide helps give me the confidence to better use the app! thank you for this long guide!

[@furnacewreath]

this has to be the most comprehensive tutorial for ANYTHING i've ever seen! makes picking up CSP not only a little easier to understand but also more tempting to try out lmao

[@MarzoAlive]

All your explanation of each brush setting was amazing, I've never seen anyone at that level of detail. Thank you so much!

[@oneshimaru]

This was extremely helpful, thank you! I didn't realize how many steps I'd been taking just copy-pasting layers/increasing selections. I learned a lot!

[@psspsps6750]

as some one who easily gets overwhelmed with technology , discovering this video of yours is such a game changer , especially how you provided specific time stamps and categorization . THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@YourWeirdoMJ]

43:00 was EXTREMELY USEFUL! thank you so much!

[@FumeiYuusha]

This video is amazing. I loved it so much. It was like sitting in a classroom, I was even taking notes on the things I found most useful just to keep them in mind. Transitioning from pen and paper to digital has been a struggle for me, but it was time to modernize. This video helps immensely, it should be literally pinned to clip studio's front page. Thank you so much for the help! You are wonderful~

[@Myu142]

My Mom bought me csp for Christmas about a year ago and have been too afraid to use it. Thank you for making this video. It's helping a lot with someone who's only used Photoshop for years

[@ajdinsmore4886]

This is definitely the funniest clip studio paint tutorial I've found so far. Thank you 🤣🤣

[@lecorbak]

33:40 I use this to not go past the lineart set as a reference layer, it's pretty useful. but you also need to set up the tolerance not to 0, because it can look bad as you'll have white pixels

[@anarchohelenism]

3 minutes in and I really love your delivery, lol. So many of these digital painting tutorials are so dry, but you inject a lot of humor and life in yours.

[@Mortegris]

Starting the new year with a new art program, and this video is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for making it.

[@unstoppable5417]

Sami is an amazing instructor and artist. Thx for the video !!, there was a lot of helpful information.

[@miriam9230]

Thank you so much for this! Literally new to this and have been looking for a tutorial gosh ❤❤❤❤

[@vuankhanhbeo]

Just perfect. I just pick CSP up, and litterally don't know what's in the box. Even homepage don't have any introduction about their production. Luckily you got our back!

[@mattainc]

Thank you.... it was getting overwhelming. My favorite part is you saying, "If you don't know what you're doing... mess with this." ABSOULUTELY WONDERFUL!

[@verilyvexed]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I'm 6m in and feel like I've already learned more than in a month of poking around and Googling.

[@vinjass]

[@rumixjd]

[@EmmyAltava1]

Thank you so much for this ;A; i have been using CSP for a long time but have struggled to find a good and comprehensive tutorial. this is exactly what i needed to help me!!

[@user-ie5zq6uj2f]

Love your Videos!! Thank you for the easy explanation but I wish you could do a Video for Animation!!

[@ichizuke]

Thank you so much for making this video! I've been using csp for some time now and despite trying different features and tools here and there I didn't have a clear structure of it. KZbin recommended this vid just in time

[@snakefish18]

I can't thank you enough, other CSP Tutorials kept making me fall asleep but your voice and the way you talked really held my attention

[@dampierre99]

Yoooo you probably get this a lot but damn I forgot I subscribed to you, thank goodness for the bell button

[@artenstien7100]

Yay you're alive! So far csp made me ditch Photoshop completely and the 3d tool is like a portable mannequin its almost like cheating with how easy it is to use

[@t3mporarysecretary]

this is so kind. like nobody asked u to make this and you did anyway like that's so goated wtf

[@mutiarabungahati2530]

I really screamed: "I LOVE YOU" when i saw you tweeted this on twt. a bit late but still! thank you for making this, this is very helpful!! 💕

[@videoxd1]

Sami never fails to deliver

[@AnimeStar77]

[@G_made]

thank you for the tutorial it made CSP less ingeminating

[@danieladeremi4427]

This was just perfect! And not just for me Thanks a bunch!!🙇🏽‍♂️🙇🏽‍♂️

[@Aeroxima]

Just what I was looking for, without needlessly dragging every little bit out. Just going over what everything is, cause it is a bit overwhelming to start with. Might have to take it in 2-3 viewings, even though it's much smoother watching than most.

[@justingleason9920]

This so helpful and amazing! I really appreciate your candor and straightforwardness, perfect for what I needed! :3

[@MJ-jm8nu]

THank you for posting this video! So very helpful!❤❤❤❤

[@soltec6704]

CMYK sliders/pallet ensures you’ll get predictable color results in 4-color offset printing 😉

[@suppie8106]

Thank you for this tutorial! gonna study hard and learn. I love using Paint tool sai for many years but I do feel it's a little too archaic now and lacks so many features you can do in photoshop and clip

[@simondragon206]

I’ve never use clip studio paint when i was child

[@Raha.paing.ira.]

[@sugoish9461]

0:30 how times change 💔😩

[@SovietGrizzly]

Will you be making an updated video for CSP 2.0? Especially now that there are subscription options? Pretty good ones IMO only 24.99 annual for the pro version as compared to photoshops horrendous prices.

[@raizr4331]

Hello! I just had a question because I am on a macbook air and my huion drawing pad will not draw, I have tried many youtube tutorials but they are outdated, please help before I break my screen, thank you!

[@msp654]

Seeing someone else's CSP layout is always SO weird... like wdym layers are on the left that's insane. Wdym you keep navigation minimized. Wdym you don't use the color sliders. Just. Wild.

[@JuhoSprite]

Can you do this exact video but for windows thanks

[@williammclean6594]

How do you find the drawing area on the tablet? Is it really small in your opinion ? I work on a huion 24-in screen on my PC. But I need like a tablet for like taking with me to sketch. Would it be hard to get used to working on a small screen??

[@UltimatePerfection]

Any way to reopen the tablet calibration that shows up first time you open CSP? I may be getting a screentablet soon and will have to calibrate again.
