[@taraartsgameindonesia]

i've been searching about settings on soft brush on csp so it'll be exactly like on photoshop, and again I found it again here. thanks for the tuts it helped a lot!!

[@richelharvian4026]

waah ada abang tara, kerenn

[@LeoKisomma]

If you export brushes that you really like in photoshop as an abr file, you can drag that onto the CSP brush panel and it will import those brushes with all of the settings you had applied previously in photoshop :)

[@rizkyrahmanda2517]

You know the tutorial is good when Tara Arts thanked it

[@twood12301]

I'm showing this to all my friends. I've been using clip studio for years and you are doing an amazing job at clarifying things I never would have thought to use. You are not only a great artist but also a great communicator and do a good job condensing concepts into a video.

[@ManuMercurial]

This message means a lot tw.illustrator, I really appreciate it! Hope my next videos keep getting better and I live up to this sentiment. Thanks for watching! ps. Love your profile picture haha

[@seraphina3093]

I’m brand new to this CSP and I am so thankful nice this video. It should have way more likes

[@Spamkromite]

For me, I'm using Marc Brunet's free brushes. They were my first and really they are super fun to use. I don't like to have more brushes than what I will use but I'll download yours and see what I can incorporate to my set of brushes.

[@ManuMercurial]

I totally agree! My brushes are there for everyone to try out, but I'm a big supporter of working with limited tools. In my experience it actually makes things easier and a more effective workflow. In all honesty 95% of the time I just use the default G-pen or the soft edge brush. For that extra 5% there's the other ones! Also feel free to modify them to your heart's content! Thanks for watching Zekromite!

[@Clayway.]

Your channel is THE best resource a beginner artist using CSP could ask for. Will be eagerly awaiting your next post!

I was a little unsure about making my own brush tips, but your tutorial was really good!! Now I have ideas for more brushes I can make. Love this!

[@kalismith2456]

You have done a really good job on this video. really like how in-depth you gone in showing us how to create our own brushes.

[@JoyceW-Art]

Your contest video is actually the reason I found out about this channel! And this video was so useful! Indeed the best brush to use is different for everyone, cause everyone makes art in their own way. Heck, most of the brushes I use are ones that came with CSP, or are slightly adjusted versions of it

[@ManuMercurial]

Totally agree! The default brushes just need a small push to be perfect but most of them are already fantastic. Thank you for watching!

[@McCloud23892]

You're such a great teacher, keep rocking bro!

[@ManuMercurial]

[@Estellars]

For whatever reason, I haven't really dug into editing any of my brushes (aside from stability). Hopefully this'll finally help me find the brushes I've really been looking for!

[@kandalpower]

You're such an ispiration Mercurial. I like the way you explain things and how much dedication you put into creating these videos. I am being frustrated lately due to not being confortable with my brushes, pen pressure and my graphic tablet, but I am going to apply your tips. By the way, I just discovered your channel and your "professional artist career" and was wondering how you did get into it. In a nutsheel, your attitude and behaviour influenced me with positivity and I am just curious about your portfolio and art experiences. I wish you the best Manu!🙏

[@ManuMercurial]

Kandal thanks so much for your kind words and for watching the video, I really appreciate it! And I feel you, I have gone through 5 different tablets and every time it was a struggle. But, being able to control the pressure curve for the entire program AND each brush setting's curve individually is what saved me. Don't be afraid of going in and modify them with a goal in mind, until you get exactly what you want! As for my work as an animator, I recently recorded a video of the 10 most important lessons I learnt going from a student to working in the industry. I just need some free time to edit it, but I will definitely post it here. TLDR: my story is I first picked up a pencil when I was 19, I felt I was really behind from everyone else, so I avoided drawing at all cost cause I was afraid of what others would think of my sucky drawings. Then on 2016 a friend was directing a big 2D animation project and they needed all the hands they could get. I did a test and got accepted without a demo reel, I had never done 2D animation before and it was a harsh experience to learn while working professionally but I fell deeply in love with 2D animation! I kept working in that studio and drawing a lot in my off-work hours. People did cringe with my drawings, but I didn't give a F.. anymore cause I knew what my goal was. And the rest is a bit of luck, and a lot of effort! But I can tell you, from the bottom of my heart, I feel incredibly grateful to wake up every day to work on what I truly love. That being said, earning a living by making cartoons IS A PRIVILEGE, and as such we need to work hard to earn it, Every! Single! Day! 💪 I hope this can help! I will go deeper into this story in my video. Thanks for your message!

[@kandalpower]

@@ManuMercurial Thanks Manu! I can feel your passion through your words, really ❤️. I will wait for that video. You are right about everything you wrote.

Clip Studio will, indeed, import brushes from Photoshop, but don't expect it to work as they do there. There will be differences in texture and flow management which results in a very different result

I have a question, I have brushes that aren't exactly native CSP brushes (.abr) and they're basically wash brushes I have no qualms in their effects they have translated perfectly in CSP as they were in PS but the only problem is in PS when I click on the brush it shows a preview of the wash and how it would look like if i put it in but in CSP it only shows in outline form and no preview of the brush. This bothers me a lot since it's a wash brush I need to see a preview of it (just like in PS) to check if it it's a good fit i've been playing around the settings but couldn't find it in CSP is there a way to show a preview for these types of brushes? I haven't finished your video yet but hopefully it'll cover this problem that I am having with CSP. Thank you for the tutorial!
