Damnn clip studio is hustling! CSP is taking over! Adobe is shaking! This is cool, I wanna see more pro artists use them. I think CSP is very underrated and more people should be talking about their amazing tools.

If CSP add a kind of "liquify tool" (+ dual brush for full compatibility with PS brushes) = checkmate ! :D

​ @CatCactus I already have it :) But no matter how many tweak I do to its presets, it's far from what the liquify tool do :/

7:38 - They have liquify now, feels kinda janky (idk if its me with no config and drawing in 4k canvas) but help a ton, its a pretty good program and I really love how smooth and good the brushes feels. The mixing colors make me really like it a lot as well.

[@34disorder84]

one thing i love about clip studio's liquify is that they made it a tool as opposed to a filter. does make it more limited but i vastly prefer that over having to bring up a whole separate window.

[@Bumbart]

Really? Mine works so smoothly! I was actually so impressed by that 😅 Maybe it's cuz it was still new, my whole program went kinda wonky for a while after the newest update

I love how he doesnt say too many negative things about clip studio art so it wont offend anyone, and including that, he used only the brushes that you get when you first start using clip studio, so this also shows people that you can create art with just the tools given without changing them :)

On days when I don't feel like drawing, seeing ur art makes me want to draw again. It really inspires me and give me ideas. Love ur work and keep up the good work. 👍

[@manvaishnav7612]

[@chilufyamatanda]

My experience with this app was awesome, it's like an aid to even the lowest level digital artist. Everything is so fluid, colours blend well, the little digital knowledge you may have gets amplified. I think it also helps in getting over the fear of sketching and putting colour together. I'd recommend beginners like me to play around it for some courage. LOL

[@shouceki5032]

Thank you Sam! Nice review! I've been using CSP for almost 1 year and it's a awesome and cheap program. I agree with you about the standart brushes, they are amazing! One another thing that is good is the third "color" option (botton "c") that works as a eraser but using the brush stroke. The "timelapse recording" is also very convenient, but you have to take care about the backup files, you have to delete them manually in it's backup folder, in my last illustration it saved almost 20 x 2gb files in backup! 😵😵😵 And for those that have difficult in anatomy, you could use a 3D material to help in your drawings, it is very usefull to set a pose 😉

[@da5idnz]

Is also worth knowing that at the top right (what looks like a circle with an arrowline through it) is a pallet where you can drag your most used brushes and shortcuts. You can make as many pallets as you like. Stops you having to switch between pen/pencil/airbrush etc all the time.

[@harrold5920]

Amazing video dude! Btw, 100k subs CONGRATS!!! Your videos really helped and inspire me to pick up my pencil and draw again! Im so thankful!

[@daQuietsho]

The absolute coincidence of this video and review of CSP is beyond timely. I've been highly interested in the program for years now but held back due to income priorities/motivation.... etc. It's real nice to see more serious artists and hobbyists trying the programs out again and making more recent content. Come on pennies ... momma's gotta get some art done!!

[@LetTheBodyFall]

So far, the closest thing CSP has to PS's lasso tool is mesh transformation, but you still need to fill it in unfortunately. Other than that, it's a pretty great program with a good brush engine. Also if you're a PS user and is worried about not being able to use your brushes anymore, since the December update, you can now import your PS brushes! And yeah, they have a sale at least 2-3 times a year. Without a sale, PRO is 50$ and EX is 200$ iirc. All sales are half off. The only difference between PRO and EX is the comic publishing tools and the unlimited frames you get for animation. If you're just there for drawing, the PRO will probably be just fine.

[@tacoanime1711]

I really love CSP! To be honest, I didn't get into digital drawing till last year, and while I have been using Photoshop for nearly a decade now, I decided to start learning digital drawing on CSP first. I started on the Debut version which came with my Pixiv premium account ($5/mo, tho you only need to pay for one month if you just want the Debut version forever) and I really enjoy learning and painting in that software. The included brushes were awesome and I got used to the interface/shortcuts very quickly. A month later and I decided to upgrade to the Pro version, and it was definitely worth it. The vector tools are amazing and having custom brushes was nice. I also love how you can set your line art as a reference layer (or group) and use the fill bucket tool to fill in colors in separate layers. Just lots of nice things. By the way, regarding the liquify tool, Clip Studio doesn't have such feature, but it does have something called "Mesh Transform" (under Edit, Transform), which is handy for changing proportions of a layer or selection of layers. That was probably the tool you needed in those few cases. I really like your art style btw! Also to anyone deciding if it's worth getting Clip Studio paint and don't want to pay the $200+ for the EX edition, I honestly just recommend getting the Pro edition for $50 (or at the time of writing this, $25). It has everything the EX edition minus features for making (long) animation and multi-page comics. If you do need the EX edition, then you know who you are, but if you're just doing illustrations, then there's no need to get the EX edition. There's also the Debut version that has most of the features the Pro has minus vectors, extensive brush customization, and limited materials. There's always an upgrade discount between editions, so you won't spend more if you decide to go with Pro then later upgrade to EX.

[@xosefc]

7:38 Good news, the Liquify tool was implemented recently. CSP is a beast.

CSP is so amazing. I've been using it for couple of years now and I just can't think of going back to PS. The brush engine gives so much adjustment, that you can pretty much create any type of brsh you can ever need.

Hey brother Sam they added liquify tool to Clip Studio Paint.

[@DarkTider]

As someone familiar with photoshop, but new to digital painting, I really appreciated how I was able to get to work right away and have it feel familiar. Ofc, it resulted in the drawing being made up of like 15 layers, but hey, had to cover my back from mistakes i might make later on :D

[@blossom9510]

This is a really helpful review! Very informative and showed off a lot of the features I was curious about. I come from a Photoshop background so seeing the similarities and differences in this program is very helpful for me. I really appreciate this.

[@alwaysyouramanda]

When the man and his voice are as beautiful as the art!

[@odduckOasis]

I also found it easy to switch over from PS, esp cuz I can't afford a subscription, so the one time payment was even better. I do agree though, a lot of people miss the liquify tool- I think it's something they should make. Also, they just barely added a new feature on their latest update- and that's the 'timelapse' feature, just like how Procreate does. You have to turn it on for each piece, but it's really cool. I think if enough ppl told them, they'd add in liquify? We'll see.... Thx for the review! And nice piece at the end!

[@SkoobasArt]

Not sure if this will help with the liquify issue but if you do Edit>Transform>Mesh Transformation its the closest thing I found to liquify. (you can also adjust your transformation points with this tool, its in the side bar as well as the top menu) And if you have all your layers into a layer folder, you can use this effect on the actual folder layer and it will move everything at once thats within that folder so you dont have to adjust each layer (lines, colors, etc) one by one. Hope that helps!
