i was going into the comment section to comment that! to be fair, after using clip studio for two years i only just recently discovered the ruler tool, so i'm not surprised she couldn't find it/didn't use it.
@Viktor with a K Now, is that coming from an ex Photoshop user, or just someone with an idea of what Photoshop can do? For people who have used a program for years, it becomes difficult to transition to a new program. However, for someone who isn't already accustomed to any particular program, learning the ins and outs of a new one isn't nearly as bad.
This. I've pirated Photoshop since their subscription model and now it seems I'm gonna be moving to CSP. Adobe is really great at isolating parts of their customer base. :3
J 12g so basically it’s whenever you use the fill tool you can select how much color you want to be selected. it’s hard to explain but it’s super cool!
I used to use Manga Studio 5. I had to stop a long time ago because of tablet and laptop problems. I can’t wait to get back in, especially with the new features that come with Clip!
I just got an ad from clip studio and theres a WIERD ASS BRUSH or smt. It like, blends the colors you want to use...and it just makes evveerrything more simple. I have clip studio paint but idk how to get there, welp. Clip studio paint is 👌 tho
I've been using Clip Studio Paint for several years now on my comic, having switched over from Photoshop years ago. I'm fully sold on CSP for all art projects besides photo manipulation or pixel art. It draws better, it paints better, and it ESPECIALLY inks better. Plus there are nice comic-specific functions that Photoshop simply doesn't have. Clip Studio Paint is the program of choice for me even when I'm just making character art and paintings. Thanks for the good video. I came to all the same conclusions you did, and years later I find myself wishing Photoshop would adopt certain features CSP has, like being able to quickly flip the entire canvas horizontally to check your balance.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it before, but there's a ruler option that lets you draw dynamic straight lines! I suggest you play around with the different rulers and see which one suits you the best
5 лет назад+9
theres a lot of tools,like the line art tool that also makes straight lines lol or the already done sheets of comics!
@ Absolutely! But she mentioned that she wanted more dynamic lines, which you cannot achieve through those methods, to my knowledge at least so please correct me if I'm wrong :)

@@moccadam2 well i have the full verison,idk if the demo lets you but the full one lets you create sheets,edit or dowload tools edit the entire canvas. tough,the straight line in PSD is unique cuz you have the " brush" texture over it (but i can make a straight line in my CSP as an vector line)
La Moi a The “brush” texture and the way it’s not perfectly the same line is usually what people mean by a dynamic line. It’s more personalised and feels less “same”?
For those wanting Clip Studio Paint EX, they have MANY sales, so if you are able to hold off for sales, there is a possibility to get this cheaper. I got EX for $60 ish
@@ianmacdraws3326 ah, it's too bad pro isn't good enough for me, since it's cheaper. But I do love that it's a one time payment,and there are so many free materials to download.
I know it has less features I went ahead and picked up pro when it went on sale for $15 can't go wrong with a bargain like that. EX does have some nice features though.
I love Clip Studio so much. In additon to being WAY cheaper and more intuitive to use than photoshop, it's also made with illustrators in mind as its target audience. Photoshop is not, it's for photographers. Oh yeah, and Clip Studio is SOOOOO much lighter on your computer, so now you don't need a really powerful computer with tons of memory just to draw. This is great for those of us on a tight budget with cheap laptops
Idk if you knew it but proffessional artist in companies use photoshop becase it's compatible on mac, windows (idk linux but i guess too) and is one of the reference of art program (I've tried doing some photoshop pic" at school, that was fun and easy tho) however, i'll try clip studio paint in the futur to get an opinion on it for illustration/concept art (and kirita too for animation)
@@lakuronekobaka3951 Just because photoshop has long been an industry standard doesn't mean it always will be, especially when better programs come along that allow artists to work more comfortably and get better results. Larger game and animation companies in particular have ways of changing workflows and building custom software to allow them to use newer tools and programs that they like more. Photoshop is standard...except when it isn't. Besides that I kinda don't care if photoshop is standard, I don't do art for companies and have no plans to, I draw for people who buy from me directly.
I know a billion people probably already gave you this tip, but for your lineart! If you make your panels on a vector layer (the layer button with a small box next to the normal layer button) there's a "change vector width" tool that you can use to change the width of your lines and give it more character. That said, you can also use the ruler tools called "Linear Ruler" and even "Ruler pen" to laydown guides for your panels, then go over those lines with your pen and it'll trace the rulers exactly, with the texter of your pen and your widths!
my mind has just been blown. I used manga studio 4 a LOT back in the day before i switched to photoshop cc. now i've been seeing clip studio paint everywhere and i had no idea it was the successor
Hi! An avid Clip Studio Paint user here... A good thing about CSP is that you can import brushes that the community has made. I didn't like the default brushes either (way too smooth lol) so when you click on the icon and the whole "what do you wanna do"-stuff comes on you can click on the community icon(I think?) and *swoop* you can just easily download really beautiful brushes with lotsa texture and weight! Thought I'd mention it if you wanted to keep using the program! Keep on being great!
If you want to do straight lines with pressure differences you should use the ruler first, and then you draw in the ruler lines that you created :) You can download a lot of content too. Brushes, and much more.(Really easy and inside the program) For comics Clip Studio is leader i think. Photoshop it's great for a lot of things, for sure if you want to make complex image composition and editing it's better, but they need to put more attention to the illustration side.
There is also the post correction, at maximum it make every line perfectly strait ... Even a circle. I use this tool when I need multiple lines in many angles done fast.
Julius productions hi I use MediBang if you use windows having windows ink enabled can mess with the settings I turn mine off when I use the app through my tablet driver so you could try that
@ren It doesn't matter which program a beginner chooses to start with, as they're only going to use basic tools anyways. Therefore it's more about preference. Personally I prefer Sai for its minimalism. Also there are several changes in sai2, not just bug fixes. New tools, layer types/function, etc.
Fun fact: In one of her old videos, she mentioned she used to use Manga Studio which was the old clip studio paint name. But she didn’t like it because the stabilization wasn’t right I believe.
1 Tip for Clip Studio Paint (EX) If you click on the eyedropper function, there is a sub tool labeled "adjust line width". You can then adjust the amount of width you'd like to thicken or thin your lines with after you have clicked on "adjust line width". Then you can go over the lines and it changes the width, although some erasing is needed to make it look smooth. I'm new to this program as well, so that's all I know for now, but I'll edit if I find any more tips I think are helpful.
I've watched a video of Jazza where he compared some cheap or free programs. I suggest you to check it out! I think you can switch on to Krita. It's free but one of the best.
Sorry im a bit late to this comment, but if you're still using firealpaca then I'd suggest that you get medibang paint, it's basically fire alpaca but dark mode
I use Procreate to make my comic, mainly because I prefer to draw on my IPad than on a computer. I love the program but it really is meant more for illustration work than comics. My friend just recently recommended Clip Studio to me and I wasn't sure if I was going to get it, but when you made this video I thought that I should definitely get this program!
who else got clip studio after getting a wacom drawing tablet. 69$ is all i spent to get the full version because the tablet already had the software, i just had to redeem the software so technically i got clip studio for free
Bless Wacom for giving CSP as a free bundle. lt's probably the only reason why I have CSP, since my parents don't really allow me to buy any art software since they're so expensive. A lot of my favorite comic artists use CSP as well, and it's compatible with psd. Ah, and I only knew recently that you can use the built-in 3D animations for comic making and illustrations. In other words, CSP saved my life before I even knew it.
I've just started work on a comic and currently use Krita. I love drawing in it and use the program all the time, and it's pretty decent for comics, too! A friend of mine also uses Krita and his comic looks phenomenal. But as much as I love Krita, you've made me want to give Clip Studio a try at some point!
The EX version only adds animation tools and 3d object management as well as a serilized comic view to show all your comic pages. Pro is just the illustration tools.
I love Clip Studio, it's my absolute favorite program! Once you import/make your own brushes, it's like tailoring the program to YOU! The pattern brushes, and customizations you can get from the Clip Studio community are amazing as well. Keep pushing it, Lavender, I think you'll really love it!
for drawing panel borders you can activate "snap to grid" or "snap to ruler" (buttons at the top), then either create a ruler or activate the grid (view > grid) - That way you can hand-draw straight lines and in Clip Studio Assets there's loads of brushes to download for free; maybe you'll find one that you like more than the standard ones (but tbh although I've never used PS, I think it does offer more/better brushes than CSP, especially if you look for textured/painterly brushes)
Open canvas 7 is also a great option,I have managed to actually partially imitate some textures from Photoshop brushes and I never got this close before doing it any other app. And OpenCanvas 7 kills CsP with its insanely easy perspective tools and it's brush system is like CSP and SAi but at a more advanced level if you play hard enough
Lavender! I also use Clip and I'd like to point out the 'snap to grid' tool so you can draw straight lines in varied weight! Just go to the 'view' menu and turn on the 'grid' option, then you should be able to select one of the grid snapping tools in the window's top bar. They look like little white pens drawing blue lines. Hope that helps!!
Hi! You popped into my recommendations, which is pretty spot on timing, as I started a webcomic but search for a better program for drawing comics than photoshop.
Hey !! Just some things about CSP i thought you might wanna know : there is a ruler tool, you can set a preset line and then use your brush to draw it to keep texture and size difference. There are different brushes you can easily download online (i personally use the lower bleed ink brush i found somewhere) also just in general nice video !! CSP has always been my favorite, and whilst i tried photoshop multiple times i could just never figure it out.
Hey lavender! I use clip studio too, and it was really hard to get used to it in the beginning; but I still find that I keep discovering new useful features each time I draw, and I love it. Some hints regarding your lineart problems; Yeah, there are SO many ways to customise your brushes, I suggest you take a whole drawing session without having something to draw in mind, just to play around with those settings. It takes a while to get into it, but trust me, once you got it all set up your process is sped up immensely. Another feature you NEED to get into cuz it is just so helpful is vector layers. Ekkoberry made a tutorial on them you might find helpful: ruclips.net/video/MQVB_KOdDrE/видео.html Basically, instead of putting pixels down onto your page looking like a line, the program does the math and saves all points of the line. That makes you able to smooth them, bend them, change them, straighten them, change their thickness and do everything even after the lines are down. Even erasing and cleaning up gets so much easier. Furthermore, since you are working on a webcomic, there are settings where clip studio just manages ALL of your pages, have an overwiev, can see previous pages etc. Really really go into it! I believe it might speed up your drawing process a lot. Enjoy!
Omg you type just like me, w/ line breaks after some commas or semicolons to give a slightly bigger comma pause for some commas, but still pausing less than a period :)
I did clip studio paint, it has so many things on there that really helps a beginner. It has many tricks to make manga and animation easier for me. At first I was so confused how to use clip studio paint but once I started watching the tutorial and tips it became very easy for me to draw well on it.
It's just so much cheaper and better overall, i found a few brushes that work for me online, imported them and that worked for me! I also like the posing tool of the program, i have made for my main character a model and now i can draw him without any major differences, it"'s so helpfull!
Hi LavenderTowne! Great video, I love how you always sound so chill...Is like watching hot chamomile, it's relaxing. XD A little advice regarding inking, do it on a vector layer. This is something that a LOT of people coming from photoshop missed out, but it's the main reason why inking in CSP is a joy and doesn't give you any trouble. The first thing is that you can use the vector eraser to erase until the intersection (this is a time saver). The second thing is that you can use an option to fill up until the mid point of a vector line, it doesn't matter if the line is jagged textured etc. It will always go to the midpoint. Another thing a lot of Photoshop users miss out is the reference layer. The reference layer is an option in which the magic wand or the bucket tool go pick from that reference layer and not the layer in which you're drawing. A little pro's tip regarding brushes. You can add multiple brush tips to a single brush and giving them a random order. It means that if you add 5 brush tips to your inking brush and you put that order on random... well every stroke will be different but consistent. Plus you can do this to vector lines... So when you create a frame box using the frame tool OR the polyline shape tool (this one on a vector layer) you can change the feeling of the lines using the object tool. English is not my first language... so I'm sorry if I sounded cocky or rude. XD
I moved from Photoshop to CSP EX. I actually like it better than Photoshop, and it won't break the wallet. Making line art is leagues better than Photoshop, especially when it's used on a vector layer.
2:00 You can use the figure ruler tool and get the effect you're looking for. It allows you to great the shape of the panel you want then draw the line segments w/ the density you want.
I use CSP for my webtoon I absolutely love it! Its really easy to use and it works smoothly. The community assets are great too for brushes, color pallets, patterns, and even 3d models.
The Clip Studio (Not paint but the actual clip studio app) has a lot of community shared stuff for free. People upload all kinds of brushes, pens, and other tools and materials. That might fix you pen setting issues. Would love to see a clip studio tutorial down the line. I use this program a fair amount but I am still illiterate when it comes to digital art program functions and always like to see more experienced artists show how some of this stuff is actually used.
Stay away from the assest store! It has so many cool and awesome brushes made by very talanted people, you'll want to download them all. I now got so much custom content that my CSP has gotten laggy yet I can't stop going to the assest store to check what new brushes are trending. ;-; I'm an addict help
among free programs, medibag is certainly a very good one, but don't compare it to CSP or it will almost look like trash, not because medibang isn't good, but because CSP has so many advantages
@@leinine1834 A lot of CSP's features seem like fancy bells and whistles, a beginner might find them daunting or confusing. For a free program, Medibang is a very useful tool for making comics. Certainly a step up from MS Paint. The cloud feature is also something I have yet to find anything else with something similar. The ability to continue drawings I made on desktop on a mobile device (or vice versa) and collaborate with other people is something I find more useful than 3D model things or "colorize" features.
Clip studio goes super deep, it so good. I'm actually currently switching from photoshop to solely using clip studio. Have you messed with the alias and stabilizer. The thing I'm having most of my problems adjusting is the brushes. but other than that i'm getting use to it really quickly
@LavenderTownes as a senior user in clip studio I can tell you that it's possible to adjust lines sizes of a lines you do via pc using Vector tools (you should always does your lineart into vector layers so it helps to dynamically changes lineart width on the flies
I cannot believe i've been sleeping on clip studio this whole time and used paint tool sai for the past 5 years. I really chose to struggle with the lack of tools that SAI has and worked around them smh. Im ready for a transition!
I'm already working with this program for like 2 years now. and its only getting better and better. now you can do a frame by frame animation style with audio! (I have the full EX version). I highly recommend this program.
Thanks for this video, it was very informative! I'm new to Clip Studio Paint and didn't know about the paint bucket fill features and the colourize feature! Both sound SO helpful.
Not sure if you found this but CSP has something called Clip Studio Assets where you can find thousands of different brushes, custom brushes and other resources made by other users, and the majority of them are free to download!! Its such a life saver
For people who are watching this now and want to make straight line that do have variability to them, use the vector layer and then use the vector manipulation tools to change the width of the lines.
Aa, finally!! This is the program I use, and have been wondering if I should change, but after watching this I feel better. Your videos are adorable, by the way!! So inspirational!!
How long is awhile ago because when I got my copy, I got it from CSP's English site when it was selling for $50 (I actually got it for 15 but that's because it was on sale.)
I use Krita. I'm surprised the program isn't more popular honestly. It has tons of tools, is easy to learn, and has built in pen pressure stabilizer options.
I’m an illustrator and I use clip studio pro. I can’t afford photoshop and it’s monthly subscription. There was a clearance and I took advantage of that. So far, I love Clip Studio more. I’ve been wanting to make my own comic and this program makes it so much easier for beginners to make that happen
When I got my first drawing tablet just a couple weeks ago (I'm pretty new to art btw) I got a clip studio paint ex free trial with it. I decided "eh why not, might as well try it since its free", and I was blown away just how user friendly it was compared to photoshop! Took me maybe 5 minutes (10 tops) to figure out where everything I needed was, and I was drawing stuff in no time! It was amazing, especially with how much photoshop was a consistent pain in the ass to work with whenever I tried making youtube thumbnails (not to mention every few updates they love shuffling around some of the tools so I can't find anything). Also clip studio paint has been considerably more stable compared to photoshop. Like even when working on seemingly pretty simple thumbnails I'd always get at least a couple crashes, even though my pc is a pretty powerful rig. I've only had one crash with clip studio paint, but that was because I was kind of messing with one of their tools that turn a picture into a basic model and I was likely using a picture too complicated for the software to figure out.
Well i try Krita once but its dont really make me inpresed me, i mean the tool are good but its lag pretty much, i cant even use the pen pressure. On the other hand i found CSP really interesting but i cant do much thing because i poor and i just look out a bit of the trial.
I use autodesk sketchbook. it's free, it's super intuitive but also really simple, but I can still get pretty good results out of it. it's good for beginners since it's easy to learn how to use
While Photoshop can be hard to color with, there's a way to do it without wasting your time coloring over those annoying white pixels. When I color, I select the area(s) I want to color with the magic wand tool, go to the 'select' button at the top of your Mac, then down to 'modify', then to 'expand'. You can make the selection a couple pixels bigger with this feature, and it's helped me immensely. I know you've already bought clip studio paint but I hope this helps nonetheless ^^
About your problem with the lines, there is a tool called linear ruler. It will have your line and then you draw it all wonky if you want. Most Artists wouldn't draw a straight line wonky, maybe that's why they didn't add the option x'D Also, about your pressure: You can use "Random" or lower the necessary pressure + use oversized pens. Photoshop doesn't use all the potential from your tablet because it's not really a drawing program, it's a photo editor that people uses for drawing (don't get me wrong, it does get things done, just not like they could lol). There's also textured pens already built inside the program itself, so you can test them out. + Like other people pointed out, CSP have a material store. There's a lot of brushes, materials, props, 3D modes and etc that are for free there! So you can have all the fun searching for the ones you like the most! (Also DeviantArt, my favorite brushes are from there!)
I'm not a comic artist, but an illustrator and I do find this program to be so much better than photoshop and so much easier on the wallet, I purchased the disk for EX version and thankfully it didn't cost me $200, I think I got it for like $40, but they were having a sale at the time. I had used photoshop, but when they went to subscription based I switched to Paint Tool Sai. That program worked for a while, but it was lacking in the tools and I was starting to feel held back. A friend recommended Clip Paint Studio and this is my new main program to draw, paint, design in.
if you use the ruler tool to make the straight lines you can apply pen pressure. Great work! Welcome to the team! :D Waaaaaaaaaaaay better than photoshop for this work
My personal favourite is Krita. It's free, and it's really not as laggy as everyone says it is, it's just occasionally, and after I restart my computer it's fine again. And it actually reminds me a lot of Photoshop! There's a lot of brushes, and really nice to sketch with
I don’t do comics, I just draw for fun and don’t like subscription software. I used Krita which I got off Steam for $15 even though it’s free, because I get motivation from numbers go up and Steam tracks your time in a game or application. I got an iPad Air and Apple Pencil and have been loving procreate. It just feels so good to draw in procreate.
Lately I’ve been dabbling with autodesk sketchbook and I think it’s really good for a free mobile app. not to mention, they have an impressive amount of brushes, I really like it
I’m a you g artist, and by that I mean I’m 14. I’m trying to adequately start my comic but I do t want to pay too much, what would be a good program to use in my case. My sister has an I pad with procreate that she may let me use
I've been using CSP pro due to the affordability my whole time doing digital and I love that it kinda combines PS and Sai into one program :D also clip studio having downloadable assets to use is awesome!
Lavender: *has a professional drawing computer with photoshop and clip studio paint* Me: *cries in Apple Pencil and procreate with very un amusing iPad Pro*
I do my drawings on my iPad, so I know absolutely nothing about computer programs. I use procreate for most things but for small projects, like a short comic assignment, I’ll use IbisPaint. To be honest, if I could mix the two programs, I would. Procreate has so many great brushes, one for (almost) every kind of artist, and ibis also has a decent selection of brushes. I wish procreate had a full bucket that you could use with the selection tool, like ibis has. I also wish procreate had some way to make comic panels and have them all evenly spaced, the way that ibis does. However, I wish ibis had a way to separate or import color palettes like Procreate can. I also wish Ibis had some way to make straight lines without the ruler tool, especially since the ruler tool can be pretty fidgety. Procreate is really complicated and has lots of features, and it costs money. Ibis has a great selection and some amazing artworks can definitely be made using it, plus it’s free. Whichever one you want to use boils down to your preferences. Heck, you could probably find a way to do some of the drawing in ibis and some of it in procreate. Enough of my rambling, get procreate if you want to, or get ibis if you want to, I’m just here to vibe.
If you don't want to have the white fill when creating a panel you can turn it off by un-checking "Fill inside the frame" from within the Frame tool's properties. If you want to not create a new folder when creating a new panel, change the setting of "how to add" from "create new folder" to "add to selected folder". Do note that if you don't already have a panel folder, or are creating one while outside of the panel folder, it will create a new one. If you do not want( or do not want to see ) the mask that is automatically applied to a panel, right click it from within the layers and there are several options available. You can further edit a panel outline( or ruler ) by holding CTRL/Command and clicking one of the points that show up on the line. Or by using the Operation sub tool > Object. Or by using any of the Correct Line sub tools. A few more ways to make outlines for panels( or custom text bubbles ). If you select an area with one of the selection tools, go to Edit > Outline Selection. It will add an outline to the area you selected. Great for custom panels of all sorts. You can make a shortcut, hotkey, or an auto action out of it to further increase your productivity. The Ruler tool is another one, if at all I recommend using the figure ruler. You will have to learn how to add and remove rulers from a layer if you want to use this for panels. In order to edit panels later you will either need to use a vector layer when drawing the lines, or save the rulers for later. If you accidentally create the rulers on the wrong layer, don't worry, you can select and move them from layer to layer. While drawing a ruler if you don't want to accidentally rotate it, hold shift. There are multiple ways to do things in this software and it all comes down to you. What is most efficient for your workflow? Especially with comics, if something can save you even just 5 minutes per, it page will save you 2.5 hours on a 30 page chapter. Experiment and dive deep!
Your one of the reasons I gave clip studio paint another shot I bought it but I quickly got scared off cause of how much I didn't understand it but what you said really encouraged me to put it back on my laptop and I got the hang of it after a while :3
csp is my favorite program, especially for comics! it's a perfect balance between the overly simple sai and the heavy and not adapted for drawing ps. it also has animation settings and I haven't tried those yet but heard that animating here is really nice. also I'm always using vector layers for lineart and I highly reccomend trying those, especially with your cartoon style. they make your lineart smooth, clean and easy to edit.
Thanks. You're right. Clip Studio Paint is a SUPER program, with a LOT of tools. But, I still like the simplicity and pucks with Sketchbook from Autodesk.
Idk if anyone else has mentioned this but there is DEFINITELY a straight line tool in CSP as I use it all the time! I’m pretty sure it functions a little differently to PS but essentially what you wanna do it tap the screen where you want the first point to go, then hold shift, and then tap the end point!

I use only Clip Studio Paint Ex and I love it. Not being able to make a straight line by holding shift is annoying, but honestly i prefer imperfect lines, which can give a drawing more life. And it's a good way to force practice.
What ive realized personally when trying to find new programs to use for digital are is that after using one for a certain time i get use to that one and expect whatever new program i use to have the same features, but thats not always the case, i often for get going into it to think of the new program as its own thing and not compare to the old one so much

Thanks for the good video. I came to all the same conclusions you did, and years later I find myself wishing Photoshop would adopt certain features CSP has, like being able to quickly flip the entire canvas horizontally to check your balance.
Yeah, but what about the license? Is it forever or..?
@@spideyosiris forever
Is it a one time Purchase?
Does it have animation?
I've heard people saying that the license lasts for 2 years. Is that true because there's like no site that actually says that??
@@thejassified it's forever!
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it before, but there's a ruler option that lets you draw dynamic straight lines! I suggest you play around with the different rulers and see which one suits you the best
theres a lot of tools,like the line art tool that also makes straight lines lol or the already done sheets of comics!
@ Absolutely! But she mentioned that she wanted more dynamic lines, which you cannot achieve through those methods, to my knowledge at least so please correct me if I'm wrong :)
@@moccadam2 well i have the full verison,idk if the demo lets you but the full one lets you create sheets,edit or dowload tools edit the entire canvas.
tough,the straight line in PSD is unique cuz you have the " brush" texture over it (but i can make a straight line in my CSP as an vector line)
La Moi a The “brush” texture and the way it’s not perfectly the same line is usually what people mean by a dynamic line. It’s more personalised and feels less “same”?
@@RowanWolf22 yeah
For those wanting Clip Studio Paint EX, they have MANY sales, so if you are able to hold off for sales, there is a possibility to get this cheaper. I got EX for $60 ish
Yes, I got it cheaper five years ago.
i love it for animation, and for drawing. i bought EX on sale for like $80 about a year ago
I got Pro for $23 (USD) about a year ago. Probably the only program that regularly goes on sale for 50% off every 2-3 months.
@@ianmacdraws3326 ah, it's too bad pro isn't good enough for me, since it's cheaper. But I do love that it's a one time payment,and there are so many free materials to download.
I know it has less features I went ahead and picked up pro when it went on sale for $15 can't go wrong with a bargain like that. EX does have some nice features though.
I love Clip Studio so much. In additon to being WAY cheaper and more intuitive to use than photoshop, it's also made with illustrators in mind as its target audience. Photoshop is not, it's for photographers. Oh yeah, and Clip Studio is SOOOOO much lighter on your computer, so now you don't need a really powerful computer with tons of memory just to draw. This is great for those of us on a tight budget with cheap laptops
@bleh whatever i have tried trial version of pro, but I cant zoom in nor get good pen pressure which I can control :(
(
@bleh whatever oh, I never saw that (￣ω￣;)
as someone who has photoshop for free and has tried clip studio, for free aswell. i honestly prefer photoshop so much betterrrr.
Idk if you knew it but proffessional artist in companies use photoshop becase it's compatible on mac, windows (idk linux but i guess too) and is one of the reference of art program
(I've tried doing some photoshop pic" at school, that was fun and easy tho)
however, i'll try clip studio paint in the futur to get an opinion on it for illustration/concept art (and kirita too for animation)
@@lakuronekobaka3951 Just because photoshop has long been an industry standard doesn't mean it always will be, especially when better programs come along that allow artists to work more comfortably and get better results. Larger game and animation companies in particular have ways of changing workflows and building custom software to allow them to use newer tools and programs that they like more. Photoshop is standard...except when it isn't.
Besides that I kinda don't care if photoshop is standard, I don't do art for companies and have no plans to, I draw for people who buy from me directly.
I know a billion people probably already gave you this tip, but for your lineart! If you make your panels on a vector layer (the layer button with a small box next to the normal layer button) there's a "change vector width" tool that you can use to change the width of your lines and give it more character. That said, you can also use the ruler tools called "Linear Ruler" and even "Ruler pen" to laydown guides for your panels, then go over those lines with your pen and it'll trace the rulers exactly, with the texter of your pen and your widths!

CLIP STUDIO PAINT IS BETTER THAN PHOTO SHOP
my mind has just been blown. I used manga studio 4 a LOT back in the day before i switched to photoshop cc. now i've been seeing clip studio paint everywhere and i had no idea it was the successor
i know i have a copy of manga studio somewhere but i can't remember at all where. maybe it came in a humble bundle or something?
I saw the comic page you drew using this before the video came out! Why does that make me feel proud?
This popped on my recomended at the wrong time.
This aged well...
Hi! An avid Clip Studio Paint user here...
A good thing about CSP is that you can import brushes that the community has made. I didn't like the default brushes either (way too smooth lol) so when you click on the icon and the whole "what do you wanna do"-stuff comes on you can click on the community icon(I think?) and *swoop* you can just easily download really beautiful brushes with lotsa texture and weight!
Thought I'd mention it if you wanted to keep using the program! Keep on being great!
Well,,, this aged,,, uh,,, I'd say it aged well but man
What a great time for RUclips to recommend this
If you want to do straight lines with pressure differences you should use the ruler first, and then you draw in the ruler lines that you created :)
You can download a lot of content too. Brushes, and much more.(Really easy and inside the program) For comics Clip Studio is leader i think. Photoshop it's great for a lot of things, for sure if you want to make complex image composition and editing it's better, but they need to put more attention to the illustration side.
There is also the post correction, at maximum it make every line perfectly strait ... Even a circle. I use this tool when I need multiple lines in many angles done fast.
NOT ANYMORE
BIG CORPO LOVES THE NUMBERS
For those who can't afford to spend money right now at all, FireAlpaca/Medibang is a good option.
Yeah but pressure sensitivity dosent work for me on both of the apps
Julius productions hi I use MediBang if you use windows having windows ink enabled can mess with the settings I turn mine off when I use the app through my tablet driver so you could try that
ibis paint is good aswell

It’s on the website! I’ve been using it for months now
Oh whoops should've thought to check the website. (Got mixed up there)
And awesome/thanks! I'll make sure to check it out sometime.
@ren It doesn't matter which program a beginner chooses to start with, as they're only going to use basic tools anyways. Therefore it's more about preference. Personally I prefer Sai for its minimalism.
Also there are several changes in sai2, not just bug fixes. New tools, layer types/function, etc.

Fun fact: In one of her old videos, she mentioned she used to use Manga Studio which was the old clip studio paint name. But she didn’t like it because the stabilization wasn’t right I believe.
1 Tip for Clip Studio Paint (EX)
If you click on the eyedropper function, there is a sub tool labeled "adjust line width". You can then adjust the amount of width you'd like to thicken or thin your lines with after you have clicked on "adjust line width". Then you can go over the lines and it changes the width, although some erasing is needed to make it look smooth.
I'm new to this program as well, so that's all I know for now, but I'll edit if I find any more tips I think are helpful.
Omg your art is so good and isparational I hope u gain a bigger community 💖
thank you!

who else got clip studio after getting a wacom drawing tablet. 69$ is all i spent to get the full version because the tablet already had the software, i just had to redeem the software
so technically i got clip studio for free
Bless Wacom for giving CSP as a free bundle. lt's probably the only reason why I have CSP, since my parents don't really allow me to buy any art software since they're so expensive. A lot of my favorite comic artists use CSP as well, and it's compatible with psd. Ah, and I only knew recently that you can use the built-in 3D animations for comic making and illustrations. In other words, CSP saved my life before I even knew it.
Heh
69
Please tell me how, I have the trial from wacom but I need help!!
Emi this is basically the same for me
Thesleepifoxx qwq Wdym trial?
I've just started work on a comic and currently use Krita. I love drawing in it and use the program all the time, and it's pretty decent for comics, too! A friend of mine also uses Krita and his comic looks phenomenal. But as much as I love Krita, you've made me want to give Clip Studio a try at some point!
I see that Into The Spiderverse background!! Would you ever make a video around it, if you find a nice concept? Maybe draw some spidersonas!!
Yessss a lavendertowne spidersona!
The EX version only adds animation tools and 3d object management as well as a serilized comic view to show all your comic pages. Pro is just the illustration tools.
This didn’t age well unfortunately
Lavender: Saying how much better Clip Studio Paint is compared to Photoshop
Ad: Interrupts
Also ad: GET PHOTOSHOP NOW!!!
FR I GOT THAT AD IN A CSP VIDEO BEFORE THIS AND DURING THIS AHA
I draw comments in my note book when I'm bored. xD
Do you mean comics?
Yeah lol sorry about that.
My last brain cell in action :
Autocorrect
I love Clip Studio, it's my absolute favorite program! Once you import/make your own brushes, it's like tailoring the program to YOU! The pattern brushes, and customizations you can get from the Clip Studio community are amazing as well. Keep pushing it, Lavender, I think you'll really love it!
for drawing panel borders you can activate "snap to grid" or "snap to ruler" (buttons at the top), then either create a ruler or activate the grid (view > grid) - That way you can hand-draw straight lines
and in Clip Studio Assets there's loads of brushes to download for free; maybe you'll find one that you like more than the standard ones
(but tbh although I've never used PS, I think it does offer more/better brushes than CSP, especially if you look for textured/painterly brushes)
also I remember having that flick issue as well, but I somehow got rid of that (don't remember how tho, but it's definitely possible)
Open canvas 7 is also a great option,I have managed to actually partially imitate some textures from Photoshop brushes and I never got this close before doing it any other app. And OpenCanvas 7 kills CsP with its insanely easy perspective tools and it's brush system is like CSP and SAi but at a more advanced level if you play hard enough
Lavender! I also use Clip and I'd like to point out the 'snap to grid' tool so you can draw straight lines in varied weight! Just go to the 'view' menu and turn on the 'grid' option, then you should be able to select one of the grid snapping tools in the window's top bar. They look like little white pens drawing blue lines. Hope that helps!!
Hi! You popped into my recommendations, which is pretty spot on timing, as I started a webcomic but search for a better program for drawing comics than photoshop.
i just bought clip studio for half off with that sale they just had !! I'm so glad and I hope others took that opportunity too
Hey !! Just some things about CSP i thought you might wanna know : there is a ruler tool, you can set a preset line and then use your brush to draw it to keep texture and size difference. There are different brushes you can easily download online (i personally use the lower bleed ink brush i found somewhere) also just in general nice video !! CSP has always been my favorite, and whilst i tried photoshop multiple times i could just never figure it out.
For anyone interested in Clip Studio Paint, it goes on sale a lot! I think I got mine (the pro one) on black Friday. I think it was about $40
Hey lavender!
I use clip studio too, and it was really hard to get used to it in the beginning;
but I still find that I keep discovering new useful features each time I draw, and I love it.
Some hints regarding your lineart problems; Yeah, there are SO many ways to customise your
brushes, I suggest you take a whole drawing session without having something to draw in mind,
just to play around with those settings. It takes a while to get into it, but trust me, once
you got it all set up your process is sped up immensely.
Another feature you NEED to get into cuz it is just so helpful is vector layers.
Ekkoberry made a tutorial on them you might find helpful:
ruclips.net/video/MQVB_KOdDrE/видео.html
Basically, instead of putting pixels down onto your page looking like a line, the program does the math
and saves all points of the line. That makes you able to smooth them, bend them, change them,
straighten them, change their thickness and do everything even after the lines are down.
Even erasing and cleaning up gets so much easier.
Furthermore, since you are working on a webcomic, there are settings where clip studio just
manages ALL of your pages, have an overwiev, can see previous pages etc.
Really really go into it! I believe it might speed up your drawing process a lot. Enjoy!
Omg you type just like me,
w/ line breaks after some commas or semicolons to give a slightly bigger comma pause for some commas,
but still pausing less than a period :)
I did clip studio paint, it has so many things on there that really helps a beginner. It has many tricks to make manga and animation easier for me. At first I was so confused how to use clip studio paint but once I started watching the tutorial and tips it became very easy for me to draw well on it.
Aged like spoiled milk
like milk
It's just so much cheaper and better overall, i found a few brushes that work for me online, imported them and that worked for me! I also like the posing tool of the program, i have made for my main character a model and now i can draw him without any major differences, it"'s so helpfull!
oh!! clip studio is actually really great! it came free with my wacom intuos and i never had any problems with it!! :DD
Hi LavenderTowne! Great video, I love how you always sound so chill...Is like watching hot chamomile, it's relaxing. XD
A little advice regarding inking, do it on a vector layer. This is something that a LOT of people coming from photoshop missed out, but it's the main reason why inking in CSP is a joy and doesn't give you any trouble. The first thing is that you can use the vector eraser to erase until the intersection (this is a time saver). The second thing is that you can use an option to fill up until the mid point of a vector line, it doesn't matter if the line is jagged textured etc. It will always go to the midpoint.
Another thing a lot of Photoshop users miss out is the reference layer. The reference layer is an option in which the magic wand or the bucket tool go pick from that reference layer and not the layer in which you're drawing.
A little pro's tip regarding brushes. You can add multiple brush tips to a single brush and giving them a random order. It means that if you add 5 brush tips to your inking brush and you put that order on random... well every stroke will be different but consistent. Plus you can do this to vector lines... So when you create a frame box using the frame tool OR the polyline shape tool (this one on a vector layer) you can change the feeling of the lines using the object tool.
English is not my first language... so I'm sorry if I sounded cocky or rude. XD
I moved from Photoshop to CSP EX. I actually like it better than Photoshop, and it won't break the wallet. Making line art is leagues better than Photoshop, especially when it's used on a vector layer.
2:00 You can use the figure ruler tool and get the effect you're looking for. It allows you to great the shape of the panel you want then draw the line segments w/ the density you want.
I use CSP for my webtoon
I absolutely love it! Its really easy to use and it works smoothly. The community assets are great too for brushes, color pallets, patterns, and even 3d models.
The Clip Studio (Not paint but the actual clip studio app) has a lot of community shared stuff for free. People upload all kinds of brushes, pens, and other tools and materials. That might fix you pen setting issues. Would love to see a clip studio tutorial down the line. I use this program a fair amount but I am still illiterate when it comes to digital art program functions and always like to see more experienced artists show how some of this stuff is actually used.
Stay away from the assest store! It has so many cool and awesome brushes made by very talanted people, you'll want to download them all. I now got so much custom content that my CSP has gotten laggy yet I can't stop going to the assest store to check what new brushes are trending. ;-; I'm an addict help
Amazing there are tons and tons of endless free brushes in PS and for every type of painting style,I don't need CSP I don't Color in linearts
Same on the website the app is just an android version of the clip studio assets page online where you can find awesome free stuff
Have you tried Medibang Paint Pro? I think it's a really great program.
Edit: If you need any tutorials, check out Jyunee and Clockbirds.
It's actually not that good
@@ketchup7528 I personally like the program. Are you facing any problems with it or something?
@@raphapantanio and it's available for both PC and mobile. You can download and customize brushes to your preference.
among free programs, medibag is certainly a very good one, but don't compare it to CSP or it will almost look like trash, not because medibang isn't good, but because CSP has so many advantages
@@leinine1834 A lot of CSP's features seem like fancy bells and whistles, a beginner might find them daunting or confusing. For a free program, Medibang is a very useful tool for making comics. Certainly a step up from MS Paint. The cloud feature is also something I have yet to find anything else with something similar. The ability to continue drawings I made on desktop on a mobile device (or vice versa) and collaborate with other people is something I find more useful than 3D model things or "colorize" features.
Clip studio goes super deep, it so good. I'm actually currently switching from photoshop to solely using clip studio. Have you messed with the alias and stabilizer. The thing I'm having most of my problems adjusting is the brushes. but other than that i'm getting use to it really quickly
@LavenderTownes as a senior user in clip studio I can tell you that it's possible to adjust lines sizes of a lines you do via pc using Vector tools (you should always does your lineart into vector layers so it helps to dynamically changes lineart width on the flies
This aged well
I cannot believe i've been sleeping on clip studio this whole time and used paint tool sai for the past 5 years. I really chose to struggle with the lack of tools that SAI has and worked around them smh. Im ready for a transition!
@kinky chocolate no problem 😭
I'm already working with this program for like 2 years now. and its only getting better and better. now you can do a frame by frame animation style with audio! (I have the full EX version). I highly recommend this program.
Thanks for this video, it was very informative! I'm new to Clip Studio Paint and didn't know about the paint bucket fill features and the colourize feature! Both sound SO helpful.
Not sure if you found this but CSP has something called Clip Studio Assets where you can find thousands of different brushes, custom brushes and other resources made by other users, and the majority of them are free to download!! Its such a life saver
For people who are watching this now and want to make straight line that do have variability to them, use the vector layer and then use the vector manipulation tools to change the width of the lines.
Aa, finally!! This is the program I use, and have been wondering if I should change, but after watching this I feel better. Your videos are adorable, by the way!! So inspirational!!
How long is awhile ago because when I got my copy, I got it from CSP's English site when it was selling for $50 (I actually got it for 15 but that's because it was on sale.)
@@cedar7560 hmm, i believe it was 3 or 4 years ago?
I use Krita. I'm surprised the program isn't more popular honestly. It has tons of tools, is easy to learn, and has built in pen pressure stabilizer options.
Yes also good program
Hi! I uh just subscribed and it's now 3 days later and I loveee your videos already
Hi! Welcome to Lavendertowne, a great youtuber with a great community!
On behalf of everyone, welcome and we are glad you came!
welcome!!
I’m an illustrator and I use clip studio pro. I can’t afford photoshop and it’s monthly subscription. There was a clearance and I took advantage of that. So far, I love Clip Studio more. I’ve been wanting to make my own comic and this program makes it so much easier for beginners to make that happen
When I got my first drawing tablet just a couple weeks ago (I'm pretty new to art btw) I got a clip studio paint ex free trial with it. I decided "eh why not, might as well try it since its free", and I was blown away just how user friendly it was compared to photoshop! Took me maybe 5 minutes (10 tops) to figure out where everything I needed was, and I was drawing stuff in no time! It was amazing, especially with how much photoshop was a consistent pain in the ass to work with whenever I tried making youtube thumbnails (not to mention every few updates they love shuffling around some of the tools so I can't find anything). Also clip studio paint has been considerably more stable compared to photoshop. Like even when working on seemingly pretty simple thumbnails I'd always get at least a couple crashes, even though my pc is a pretty powerful rig. I've only had one crash with clip studio paint, but that was because I was kind of messing with one of their tools that turn a picture into a basic model and I was likely using a picture too complicated for the software to figure out.
Can you compare Clip Studio and Krita now
Please!
Krita dosent work on hwr computer.
Hope Diamond Sasa-GAY-o - I am very used to Krita, and I am gonna use Clip soon. But I probably won’t make a video.
Well i try Krita once but its dont really make me inpresed me, i mean the tool are good but its lag pretty much, i cant even use the pen pressure.
On the other hand i found CSP really interesting but i cant do much thing because i poor and i just look out a bit of the trial.
I use autodesk sketchbook. it's free, it's super intuitive but also really simple, but I can still get pretty good results out of it. it's good for beginners since it's easy to learn how to use
Very nice program
While Photoshop can be hard to color with, there's a way to do it without wasting your time coloring over those annoying white pixels. When I color, I select the area(s) I want to color with the magic wand tool, go to the 'select' button at the top of your Mac, then down to 'modify', then to 'expand'. You can make the selection a couple pixels bigger with this feature, and it's helped me immensely. I know you've already bought clip studio paint but I hope this helps nonetheless ^^
About your problem with the lines, there is a tool called linear ruler. It will have your line and then you draw it all wonky if you want.
Most Artists wouldn't draw a straight line wonky, maybe that's why they didn't add the option x'D
Also, about your pressure:
You can use "Random" or lower the necessary pressure + use oversized pens. Photoshop doesn't use all the potential from your tablet because it's not really a drawing program, it's a photo editor that people uses for drawing (don't get me wrong, it does get things done, just not like they could lol).
There's also textured pens already built inside the program itself, so you can test them out.
+ Like other people pointed out, CSP have a material store. There's a lot of brushes, materials, props, 3D modes and etc that are for free there! So you can have all the fun searching for the ones you like the most!
(Also DeviantArt, my favorite brushes are from there!)
I love your videos~!
My college professor was literally just talking about how clip studio paint is better than Adobe Photoshop fjsnfjanja wild,
I'm not a comic artist, but an illustrator and I do find this program to be so much better than photoshop and so much easier on the wallet, I purchased the disk for EX version and thankfully it didn't cost me $200, I think I got it for like $40, but they were having a sale at the time. I had used photoshop, but when they went to subscription based I switched to Paint Tool Sai. That program worked for a while, but it was lacking in the tools and I was starting to feel held back. A friend recommended Clip Paint Studio and this is my new main program to draw, paint, design in.
if you use the ruler tool to make the straight lines you can apply pen pressure. Great work! Welcome to the team! :D Waaaaaaaaaaaay better than photoshop for this work
EEEEEEEEEE I SAW MILES FROM SPIDERMAN: INTO THE SPIDER VERSE!!!!!
I love that movie, also that was one of my favorite parts of the movie!!
I have the same background on my desktop and thought the video flickered for a second until I realized she had the same picture.
My personal favourite is Krita. It's free, and it's really not as laggy as everyone says it is, it's just occasionally, and after I restart my computer it's fine again. And it actually reminds me a lot of Photoshop! There's a lot of brushes, and really nice to sketch with
I don’t do comics, I just draw for fun and don’t like subscription software. I used Krita which I got off Steam for $15 even though it’s free, because I get motivation from numbers go up and Steam tracks your time in a game or application. I got an iPad Air and Apple Pencil and have been loving procreate. It just feels so good to draw in procreate.
Yeah! I really want to get clip studio, it seems really cool
They have frequent sales, I got Pro for 25 dollars in December.
@@Arella17 yuh same here. But i had a lil more to spend and got the EX version
Lately I’ve been dabbling with autodesk sketchbook and I think it’s really good for a free mobile app. not to mention, they have an impressive amount of brushes, I really like it
I’m a you g artist, and by that I mean I’m 14. I’m trying to adequately start my comic but I do t want to pay too much, what would be a good program to use in my case. My sister has an I pad with procreate that she may let me use
I've been using CSP pro due to the affordability my whole time doing digital and I love that it kinda combines PS and Sai into one program :D also clip studio having downloadable assets to use is awesome!
Lavender: *has a professional drawing computer with photoshop and clip studio paint*

FlipaClip and krita. Both work for my animation needs.
*never have I clicked so fast*
Anime Is Noice ikr
*i’m 6 hours late*
Ironically just as the video was ending I got an unskippable ad for photoshop
I do my drawings on my iPad, so I know absolutely nothing about computer programs. I use procreate for most things but for small projects, like a short comic assignment, I’ll use IbisPaint. To be honest, if I could mix the two programs, I would. Procreate has so many great brushes, one for (almost) every kind of artist, and ibis also has a decent selection of brushes. I wish procreate had a full bucket that you could use with the selection tool, like ibis has. I also wish procreate had some way to make comic panels and have them all evenly spaced, the way that ibis does. However, I wish ibis had a way to separate or import color palettes like Procreate can. I also wish Ibis had some way to make straight lines without the ruler tool, especially since the ruler tool can be pretty fidgety. Procreate is really complicated and has lots of features, and it costs money. Ibis has a great selection and some amazing artworks can definitely be made using it, plus it’s free. Whichever one you want to use boils down to your preferences. Heck, you could probably find a way to do some of the drawing in ibis and some of it in procreate. Enough of my rambling, get procreate if you want to, or get ibis if you want to, I’m just here to vibe.
I use Clip Studio Paint :D
Your video has helped me on deciding to move into Clip Studio Paint and it's has been one of my best investments as an artist!
If you don't want to have the white fill when creating a panel you can turn it off by un-checking "Fill inside the frame" from within the Frame tool's properties.
If you want to not create a new folder when creating a new panel, change the setting of "how to add" from "create new folder" to "add to selected folder". Do note that if you don't already have a panel folder, or are creating one while outside of the panel folder, it will create a new one.
If you do not want( or do not want to see ) the mask that is automatically applied to a panel, right click it from within the layers and there are several options available.
You can further edit a panel outline( or ruler ) by holding CTRL/Command and clicking one of the points that show up on the line.
Or by using the Operation sub tool > Object.
Or by using any of the Correct Line sub tools.
A few more ways to make outlines for panels( or custom text bubbles ). If you select an area with one of the selection tools, go to Edit > Outline Selection. It will add an outline to the area you selected. Great for custom panels of all sorts. You can make a shortcut, hotkey, or an auto action out of it to further increase your productivity.
The Ruler tool is another one, if at all I recommend using the figure ruler.
You will have to learn how to add and remove rulers from a layer if you want to use this for panels. In order to edit panels later you will either need to use a vector layer when drawing the lines, or save the rulers for later. If you accidentally create the rulers on the wrong layer, don't worry, you can select and move them from layer to layer.
While drawing a ruler if you don't want to accidentally rotate it, hold shift.
There are multiple ways to do things in this software and it all comes down to you. What is most efficient for your workflow?
Especially with comics, if something can save you even just 5 minutes per, it page will save you 2.5 hours on a 30 page chapter.
Experiment and dive deep!

CSP 2 it's becoming worse than Photoshop
Your one of the reasons I gave clip studio paint another shot I bought it but I quickly got scared off cause of how much I didn't understand it but what you said really encouraged me to put it back on my laptop and I got the hang of it after a while :3
csp is my favorite program, especially for comics! it's a perfect balance between the overly simple sai and the heavy and not adapted for drawing ps. it also has animation settings and I haven't tried those yet but heard that animating here is really nice.
also I'm always using vector layers for lineart and I highly reccomend trying those, especially with your cartoon style. they make your lineart smooth, clean and easy to edit.
Thanks. You're right. Clip Studio Paint is a SUPER program, with a LOT of tools.
But, I still like the simplicity and pucks with Sketchbook from Autodesk.
Idk if anyone else has mentioned this but there is DEFINITELY a straight line tool in CSP as I use it all the time! I’m pretty sure it functions a little differently to PS but essentially what you wanna do it tap the screen where you want the first point to go, then hold shift, and then tap the end point!
Exactly that's why I bought Clip Studio Paint. $ 20 a month no thanks extortionists I mean Adobe.
but PS is $10 a month if you get the lightpro package that comes with PS....which is weird but true
@@gorequillnachovidal I could buy the EX version in a few years with 10$ a month. Skip on the subscription for 6 months and you can get pro, less if it's on sale.
@@somebodyoncetoldme6360 Congratulations on all your successes, you smell wonderful.
@@gorequillnachovidal I use the extra 20$ a month I save on fancier soap.
@@somebodyoncetoldme6360 You could steal bags of fat from the trash bins at plastic surgery centers and render fat into soap. Profit.
This did not age well.
what happend whats best to use now?
@@bug9497 nothing its just that she moved everything and works completely with clip studio and hates adobe, and some of the things she didn't like here got fixed
@@randomnormalperson ohh okay thanks
@@randomnormalperson clip studio paint v2 now requires a purchase to update to & subscription to unlock any future 2.0+ updates, and also limits the number of devices you can use csp on without buying another license now. :(
@@anarkuu aw man, ig ill just use the old version :(((
I use only Clip Studio Paint Ex and I love it. Not being able to make a straight line by holding shift is annoying, but honestly i prefer imperfect lines, which can give a drawing more life. And it's a good way to force practice.
What ive realized personally when trying to find new programs to use for digital are is that after using one for a certain time i get use to that one and expect whatever new program i use to have the same features, but thats not always the case, i often for get going into it to think of the new program as its own thing and not compare to the old one so much
