As someone who animates for a living you've just made the best decision CSP is a broken animation tool🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Monte_Carlo451]

SHE REMEMBERED HER PASSWORD!

[@Danominator]

You did some crazy stuff with just this short animation! The blur so the camera can "focus", the cat purring at different volumes when it gets closer, all the usual little details that you do so well are very present here. :)

[@wolfochungo]

Highly recommend auto actions, they're like macros to automate stuff. ie, new layer > name layer > set opacity > clip to layer below, all in one button. very useful for animation and assigning folders to the timeline makes things a lot more convenient, even if you have one raster layer in each folder. copy pasting, merging, and some other basic stuff are pretty annoying if you just have the raster layer itself assigned to the timeline. I animate professionally, and these are the things I found the most useful starting out :) Nice video!

[@kikopo]

bumping this theres a lot of community made auto actions for animating its great

[@totallycarbon2106]

Really useful tip, bumping so others and Shar see it too!

[@sheyndraws]

as a diehard csp enjoyer, it feels so nice seeing people open their eyes to how goated the program is

[@evionth]

Recommendation/tip for you if you haven't learned this already! You could totally select your vector lines with the operation object tool and edit a few things very easily from there. You just need to go to Operation (cube cursor icon on toolbar) where you can fiddle with settings to make sure you can select all the vector lines you want (either manually or by area select if you want specific lines) and then change them with the object tool's sub-property panel. If you don't select them, any changes will be automatically applied to all the vector lines in the layer you're on. After you select the vector lines, look at the tool property and you can do stuff like adjust the main color/sub color and it will automatically apply to all the selected vector lines. You can also adjust the brush size, AND brush shape there (if you like any brushes, you can save them as a brush shape in the sub tool detail palette, and easily transform your vector lines to that brush like this.) Also, if you haven't seen the correct line tools, those are great and can allow you to do stuff like play around with line thickness while still keeping line variation, or line/control point simplification/opacity/etc. Hope this was interesting and useful!

[@su_frx]

To have a less messy set up, you can use folders as you'd use your frames and add frames within the folder, it alows you to have the lineart, colors, shadows etc on the same trame.

[@kre8or465]

Man, this was one of the most polite "I'm sick of using Adobe products" videos I've ever seen.

I suspect Adobe fired most of their employees because they have products that started good and failed to improve with time.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! 😭 It’s so hard to find really simple and not overthinked (?) video tutorial about csp animation! Now I can finally say I understand what this layers and files means and how easy it’s work. All thanks to the fact that you made an analogy and showed everything conveniently! Thank yooouuu! 😭💕

[@Protochama]

HOLD MY TEA- SHAR UPLOADED! Great video as always! A tip: to organize better your animation cels, you can press Ctrl + G on one of them. That will create a group of that cell and you can place new layers for coloring, light, shadow, lineart, sketch, etc. That will keep them all on the same cell! For example, instead of making new folders for sketch, then a new folder for lineart, then a new folder for painting, you can just make one folder for the animation!

[@shar]

omg... i'll try this later thank you so much..

[@Grishanof]

All the things you liked about vector brushes and edges cleaning convinced me back in 2013, when it was just poorly translated IllustStudio, already more useful to me than photoshop and inkscape combined. Especially other layer references and magnet brushes. It was a learning curve to get used to big studio structure they added in newer updates, but it was worth it in the end.

[@badluckalley]

I don't know anything about animating, but I do know that I really enjoy your videos! Thank you!

[@flamingpuppeteer]

I've been using CSP for years, and it's so great! I ended up actually learning something new about the program from this video, so I will definitely be utilizing that in future projects! 👀

This channel never fails to be wholesome and chill.

[@enzo_stuff]

I am so glad you showed your journey and process using CSP because it's the program I am learning to use right now, and I feel so overwhelmed with how many tools there is at your disposal (It is also my first professional drawing software lol). But, this made me feel so much better about my own learning process with CSP! Great video!

I’ve been using Clip Studio Paint for my illustrations for a decade now, I cannot recommend it enough!

[@ScarfKat]

That bit at the end about how long the recording took for such a short video is super relatable lol. I have no idea how other people do super long videos either. The longest commentary video I've done was just under 20 minutes, and it felt like this massive undertaking for all of the recording and editing XD This video was great too, it's amazing how much your style has evolved already, some of those illustrations are just absolutely gorgeous! Always love your stuff, hope you're doing well. :)

YES! The late 2000's/early 2010's deviant era was one I'll hold in my heart always

[@slade9372]

Always a good day when Shar uploads! :)

[@BlueLeef]

Some software tips i thought you'd appreciate!: -to duplicate frames fast, select frames on timeline, then alt+drag!!! -also you can put folders inside animation folders to condense lineart, colors, etc (still figuring that one out myself 😅)

[@PrMultivers]

I know it probably wasn't the goal, but as someone who wanted to try animation on CSP, that was a good tutorial for the basics! Thanks a lot!

[@kitz4045]

This is such crazy timing, I've been contemplating getting Clip Studio Paint EX to start practicing Animation, I've been using Procreate and Procreate Dreams but wondered how CPS EX would fare and then this video came out!!

[@Vdubs_]

I loved the art on twitter, and getting to hear you talk about it was really precious! The video was super cozy and informative! Thanks a lot

[@usuariaaleatoria]

And you can make each cell a folder too! Just right click in the layer and select something like, create folder and place this layer inside. It makes my animations very organized even if I still separate lineart and color in different animation folders

[@reiningXP]

Shar has come back to us!! The gods smile upon us today!

[@kairon156]

I really enjoy your content and am glad your still uploading every once in a while.

[@astrasoda]

İnstead rasterize all layer at once(bc damn making all layer rasterize and color them with lock are time consuming), you could have added a layer on top of the line art folder, clip it(mask) and fill the layer the color of your choice so the line art would have been colored.(But problem would have been timeline will look messy) Also you can clip the folders as well :0 imagine clipping folder on top the flats.

[@AstraeaBrown]

You can also for the animation in CSP use a "folder" as a layer. Like, each frame in one animation thing can be a folder with separate layers for lineart, coloring, etc !!! I love animating on there haha. Great video!!

[@linachuwu9219]

Ive been interested in 2D art for a long time and tried out CSP multiple times only to get confused and drop animation,, ur video came at such a good time. I'm gonna try picking it back up. Amazing video, im subbing!!

[@Maru-comics]

my only tip would be to turn on area scaling if you get like a consistent gap when filling in colours. this is usually only a problem if you use raster layers for lineart though! You should be safe Shar ^^

[@Sunny-uz8cw]

[@Dillonbninja]

This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I recently got a new Samsung tablet to draw on, and was planning on learning how to use CSP. I had no idea there was a page dedicated to tips and tutorials :O And all the things you covered in the video while trying out the program has been very useful as well! I can't wait to learn the program for myself. Thanks for always making such amazing videos! ❤

[@seltsameseeds]

ah this is a super helpful video!! thank you for sharing your first stabs at a process and thoughts on csp when i first got into digital art i was excited about animation and definitely tried making like minute+ long animations in krita even though it struggled to handle it haha so i feel vindicated about a late realization you could split out the scenes

[@whiskeyii]

God dang, the "Pac-the-sis -__- " jingle just rang in my brain like some long-lost artifact unearthing itself from some forgotten age. DEEP cut yo.

[@lobocosmico2799]

Hello, I don't know if it helps you but, When you create an animation folder you can create another folder inside that one, and thus separate better, for example you create the animation, folder inside you create the lineart folder inside that the color folder and inside that the shadows and highlights folder, Then you create another animation folder for the background, I hope I explained it well (i used Google translator xd)

[@pocket_sized_productions]

Shar, love your work, welcome back! I also am relatively new to using CSP to animate/storyboard, so seeing your process and opinions is really wonderful! The small tip I can contribute is that sometimes with a longer .mp3 file, CSP will sometimes bug out playing it back (at least, while watching in CSP- not sure if this issue persists in the exported file). But if you do encounter this issue, I've found that converting the .mp3 to an .ogg file usually fixes it. Can't wait to see what else you'll make! 😄 Edit: typo fix!

[@shar]

oooh that's interesting!! thanks for letting me know (and thank you for enjoying my stuff)! my csp skill point: +1 🧙‍♂️⚡

[@duskyer]

Having trouble filling corners and small gaps? I got the tool for you. I probably can't post links on youtube so I'll say this. Look up the close and fill tool without gaps on Clip Studio Assets. It functions as a lasso tool you can freely customize. I always use it when the paint bucket isn't enough. I know some people who use it outright for coloring.

[@shar]

oooh i'll check this out, thanks for the suggestion!!

[@crazyeye9737]

Im not interested in learning animation (nor do I have the motivation to lol) but Its always great to watch one of your videos about the process. Great as always Shar

[@yun_is_onigiri]

Woah youre so good at animating! 😭

[@FR33DOMK1D]

oh, my bones are rattling... law of talos and deviantart/NG flash games aaaa... This was a fun video though! It's cool seeing your fresh opinions on CSP animation as someone who spent a lot of their teen years in the program too lol. A couple small tips I've got for CSP that you might've already seen is that you can actually apply any brush shape or texture retroactively to any vector path you make if you get into the wrench settings of your Tool Property panel! And you can tick individual options to always be visible in there too. I'm actually really curious how you go about cleaning up vector paths in CSP as well, if ya see this comment! I've been using Adobe products for too much of my life, and I've actually been pretty intimidated out of using vector layers in CSP for years because of all the points a stroke can generate. Remembering to use the vector eraser and linking some lines together feels like a workflow thing I just have to learn, but I would like to know what ya thought about them as someone new to the software.

[@BLAHBLAH1000shop]

So happy to see you enjoying the cleanup tools! Ngl when I saw your process in AA I shuddered watching you erasing at the pixels-edge of every line. Excited to see you experiment more with your art with the new brushes at your disposal! Biggest CSP tip I can share is USE THE AUTO ACTION RECORDER! For the super repetitive actions you can have an auto action hit all the buttons for you, saving you a lot of travel-time. Very easy to set up: just hit the record, do everything like normal, then stop recording. Now you can just hit 'play' and it'll automatically do the recorded actions (this is especially useful in "button mode"). I personally use this for creating masks for coloring animated characters in my sequence, but you can use it for just about everything. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGa1dauGoaZ8m80si=5b_GKOU-qPNyEBcR
