Your CSP tutorials are great, please keep helping us CSP newbies, and not so newbies!
Glad you like them! i absolutely will!!
Thank you sooooo much!!!!!!! Took forever to get the work space the way I wanted it, after watching your video it was much easier. I figured out how to save my work space later after trying to follow along and F ing it up. The command bar towards the end of the video is a bit confusing but I have a great starting point now thanks to you!
Thank you. This helped a lot
Please keep up the good work love your content. I’m used to using procreate and learning csp on my iPad
This was quite helpful!
Awesome video, thanks, was really helpful in helping me set this up for the first time
I'm so glad it was helpful! I hope you have an amazing time drawing with Clip Studio. It's been life changing for me. 🧡🧡
this video saved me so much frustration, thank you so much for sharing, i love it a lot!!
You are so welcome! I'm so happy it helped. 🧡
thank you so much, this was super helpful, been struggling because I couldn't find something that wasn't super indepth to help just get a grasp on setup
You're very welcome! I'm so glad it helped!
I took a break from art for over a year and found this video when I needed to clean up clip studio. It’s great! Thank you
Great to hear! You can do it! Keep working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg this helped me so much
I'm so glad!
THANK YOU SO MUCH I CAN FINALLY FIX MY SETTING AFTER 2 MONTHS
Thank you that helped me so much!
I'm so glad!
Thank you! You have saved my life!
I'm so glad!!! Clip can be really confusing when you just start using it. But it's so worth the time to get to know the program! 🧡
Love your tutorial!!!
Thank you! Cheers! 🧡
Awesome guide!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’ve used other softwares before (mostly for photo editing) but I’ve just recently been getting back into art and found clip to be the best thus far. but the ipad version.. for the life of me I could not figure out how to change things around 🤣
So thank you so much 🙏 I love your channel, it’s been very helpful to me and others! ❤
This is amazing! Congratulations on restarting your Art journey. I did that at the end of 2020 after a break of YEARS. it was a little rough for me to get going again as well, but so incredibly rewarding. Please let me know if you have any questions I can help with. I'm so glad you found my channel and that the videos are helpful. 🧡🧡
Thank you so much!! I'm starting my digital artist journey today and thanks to you its less scarier 🥴❤
You got this! Feel free to comment any questions. 🧡
Because of you, i learned how to add and move things in my command bar, YAY! TY!! :D
That's amazing! the command bar is really useful. Thanks for watching!
@ MCollings Art No problems. :D Glad to learn something useful. (now I don't need to go to edit and flip my canvas dang it!! D:
Thank you so much for mentioning the edge keyboard! I felt obligated still using a wireless keyboard in my iPad case as hot keys😊😊😊😊😊
Its definitely not quite as many options as a Bluetooth keyboard, but if you only use a few hotkeys, its pretty awesome. Also, you can use the Shortcut Settings menu to set up the programmable ones at the bottom of the edge keyboard. I can't remember if that was in the vid or not. 😁
Thanks for helping me find that timeline
No problem
Finally a workspace I like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahah yes!!!! It took me a weirdly long time to fix mine. 🤣
THANKS SO MUCH I DIDNT KNOW THE NAME OF THE WINDOW WITH THE SUB VIEW OF MY CANVAS ❤
Your very welcome! Glad the video helped
I just got my first iPad so adjusting from pc with a cintiq to iPad was rough lol.
Thank u so much for the advice !!
You are so welcome! I hope it helps. I moved from a 16" display tablet to an iPad pro at the beginning of the year. It was a rough few weeks, but in the end, I am a lot happier. I recently used my display tablet for about an hour and the paralaxing cursor just about drove me up the wall. Let me know if you have any questions, I will do my best to answer. 🧡
OMG THANK YOU SM!!! I almost give up of this app for the trash work space 😭❤️
It's pretty overwhelming to open the first time. Especially if you are used to something else that has a much more streamlined UI. Glad it helped.
I just got on iPad in this really helps. I wish you would see more videos, but I understand that you must be pretty busy. Making RUclips videos takes a lot of time. I don't think I could be a full-time RUclipsr
Thank you I’m 7 months late to the video but I just recently got CSP on my iPad ago a week ago for an anime I’m working on and couldn’t figure out how to get this one window open “navigator” and you showed me thanks a ton!!
I'm so glad the video was helpful! I love CSP on the iPad, its absolutely perfect for me. Let me know if you have any more questions you are struggling to find answers to. 🧡
Thanks I’ll take you up on that offer once i become stumped on CSP again trying to figure something else out.. thanks you for the encouraging words and keep inspiring others!!
I like your setup! I'm trying to use clip studio more but I'm used to procreate so I find it overwhelming.
There's definitely tons more tools, and everything is nested in a way that makes it kind of hard to find stuff. Google and the actual Clip Studio documentation are your friend.
Also, if you can do everything you need in Procreate, that software is totally fine. Just make sure you back up your work because if the app gets unistalled or your iPad breaks, your work is gone. Guess how I know. :(
@@MCollingsArt I've been using procreate for many years so I learned that the hard way 💀. Now I backup everything several places just to be sure. I do everything on my ipad, the only reason I need a new program is because I want to draw some of my bigger projects on my cintiq. I wish procreate came to mac.
@@zpurplex Yeah, Clip is really nice for PC. I love it for my cintiq as well. I'm sorry your Procreate did the same as mine. its so heartbreaking to lose work like that.
Ty for the tutorial! Where did you find the button to change the palettes to a tab instead of pop up? For whatever reason I can’t find it and I hate when it’s goes away after I start drawing especially when I’m testing out brushes lol
while the palette is a pop up, drag it by the top bar to one of the edges, you should see a red bar appear. Then you can snap the palette to that side and it should remain while you draw.
there's also an option to toggle on and off for the things in the menu bar also if you want to have it be either persistent or a pop up depending on the project. You tap and hold or right click on one of the icons in the menu bar and switch between the two options.
I’m not sure if you discuss this before, but could you possibly upload this workspace to Clip Studio Assets?? I would love to just install and enjoy right away!!😅
Hey! Thanks for the input. I made this video to try to help artists customize their workspace to their own preferences, not necessarily "use this exact workspace"
Aww, thank you for your tutorial! You have a lot of great tips! It was just a little hard to follow because the voiceover and what's happening on screen were a bit out of sync (e.g. Talking about changing a setting in preferences or such when the screen had already navigated through multiple settings a while ago). I mean, it'd be fine for experienced users, but beginners might not know where the menus/tools are and would need a slower pace. Great work, though!
I'm so glad the tutorial was helpful.
I knew this might be a little bit of an issue. Unfortunately, it's really hard to line the the VO and the footage in a video this dense.
Could you do an animation tutorial on clip studio paint? I just discovered that you do animations on csp at 6:18
Absolutely! I have a whole series in the works for using csp for Animation!
Im trying to find the menu where you can see all of your different layers, do you know where to find it and what its called?
Click on Window>Layer
Thanks for the helpful video. I can't seem to resize my menus to make them smaller on the sides. How are you resizing? I'm putting my apple pencil on the borders and try to drag them, but the resize icon doesn't appear. Thanks!
Hey! I'm so glad you liked the tutorial.
For locked palettes, look under 'Window' and then 'Palette Dock' clear down at the bottom.
There should be options there for:
'Fix the width of palette dock'
'Lock palette height'
'Lock palette position'
Try selecting these and see if you can move your palettes around.
@@MCollingsArt You nailed it! Thank you!
@@skowog amazing!!! happy to help
Question I’m wanting to get clipstudio on my iPad and I want the ex version,how do you get it?
When CSP was in v1, you could get it from the apple store and then log in online to upgrade the subscription to EX.
Not sure about v2 tho.
ignore that this is a whole ass year later but where would i find the lasso tool? I'm looking everywhere and can't find it lol
Hahah no problem, I'm still responding to questions on these videos.
The lasso tool is located in the first set of the Tools menu in the default set up. There are multiple tools in the sub tool group, so the icon might look like a dotted line square or a dotted circle. The documentation calls this Tool Palette the Marquee Tool. Here's a link to the doc for more info about it.
www.clip-studio.com/site/gd_en/csp/userguide/csp_userguide/510_tool/510_tool_selct.htm
Uh-oh. I moved some tools to the right, like you did, but I accidentally made most of the tools on the left disappear. Now, I'm worried what I made go away. Gah!
It's ok! You can reset the workspace to the default and try again. ❤
It’s my dream to become a digital artist. I’ve been using procreate because it’s easy for me and I’ve been scared to try Clip Studio because I don’t know if I’ll be able to afford the PRO every month and everything is so confusing for me. But I see that Clip Studio is more detailed and has the types of brushes that I want to use to make it easier to draw with my art style. I really want to learn how to use Clip Studio but even with someone explaining it to me, I don’t understand. I’m so sad, I don’t know what to do. :(
Clip Studio does have a lot of tools for comic making, animation, and for digital painting that Procreate doesn't. However, its really hard to argue with a $10 one time buy and the functionality of Procreate. There are a ton of professional, working artists using Procreate exclusively. You should use the program you already have and keep working on expanding your skills first. If later on, there are tools you need, maybe look into expanding into another program like Clip. Check out the True Grit Texture Supply and Retro Supply Co brushes for procreate and see if you can find the brushes you are wanting there. At the end of the day, the best art tools are the ones you will actually use and practice with and I think Procreate is really good at making an easy to use platform.
My quick access menu doesn't have much tools as yours? How do I set that up?
Hey! I set up all my quick access stuff custom. You make a new 'Set' and then drag things into it or right click (tap and hold for ipad) and select "Quick Access Settings"
Check out these articles in the Clip Studio documentation: www.clip-studio.com/site/gd_en/csp/userguide/csp_userguide/504_quickaccess_plt/504_quickaccess_plt_0.htm
Is there a way to lock the layers menu to its own area or am I limited to switching between tools and layers on the side bar menu? Moving to a tablet ive had issues cause I move between layers constantly and cant get it to just be locked on a dock somewhere
Hey! Yes, you can put the layers menu off on its own dock. On the tablet it comes in a stack with the layer properties, tools, etc. To Move it, make sure your palette locks are turned off (under the Window>Palette Dock) and then tap and drag the layer menu icon (looks like a stack of cheese slices)
You should see a red line pop up as you move it around the screen, drag to where you want it, and release.
Tysm I was worried it wasn't gonna let me have my tools out and id have to keep swapping on the side bar. The locking them in place thing is also very good to know. Now its like my desk setup thank you thank you!
@@ghostmojo7264 Anytime! I'm so glad that fixed it.
How do you get the all the tools on the left
the buttons on the left side are my quick access menus. (explained at 3:35 - Quick Access Bar)
If you are talking about the actual Tool menu, it loaded in default on the left for me. but you can drag it to wherever you need. make sure to check if your palettes are locked if its not working for you.
For locked palettes, look under 'Window' and then 'Palette Dock' clear down at the bottom.
There should be options there for:
'Fix the width of palette dock'
'Lock palette height'
'Lock palette position'
Try selecting these and see if you can move your palettes around.
I'm having some trouble, how do I free up space? Because I've already reached my GB limit and I need some assistance on how I can free up some space
That's going to depend on your iPad. It's not a Clip Studio Workspace question.
Best bet? Google how to reduce used space and see if there's a way to cut down on storage.
I also have an external drive that I use for storage of large project files.
the colour wheel keeps disappearing when I select a different tool, even if I separate it away. how can I make it permanent?
To keep the menus present when you are drawing, you have to mount them to side. it can't be a free floating tab. tap or click and drag them menu to the left or right side until you see the red indicator line and let it snap to the side.
For whatever reason when I go to Window > Brush Size, no brush presets popup, it does nothing and I can't find the brush size presets, any help?
Okay found them, it was happening with more pop ups too.. they show up in my other screen at the very bottom behind my windows bar... only a small bar can be seen so it was tricky lol
Sounds like this in on a windows pc?
Most of the tips in the video should still apply. Clip Studio is pretty good about keeping the workspaces consistent from PC to iPad.
Try searching the clip studio forums or the documentation for "resetting windows"
Sounds like they have been moved a bunch or just defaulted to weird positions.
Why I can't combine the navigator and color slider together?
They are different tool windows.
You can:
1. stack them on top of one another so that they have tabs to change over.
2. stack them next to each other in the side bar.
3. stack them as icons on the side bar so that you click or tap to open them as a pop up window.
That's just the way the software is developed. Hope that helps.
I have a question. Whenever i move the brush size bar And touch something else it disappears again. How do I stop that?
Hey Daisy the crazy, my best guess would be that you have the brush size palette on your Palette Tab Bar. If you click away when this bar is set to Pop-Up, the palette will disappear. You can right click (or tab and hold for iPad) on the brush size icon (looks like a pen with a target) and select "Display palette as tab" or you can click and drag the palette out and add it to another area of your workspace where it will be permanent.
@@MCollingsArt yea I fixed that yesterday! Tysm!!
The R key switches between Pen & Rotate Automatically by pressing & releasing R. Mine just stopped Automatically going back to the Pen...How do I fix that???...Can you help me w this Please? If you can.
check your shortcuts menu. you may have set it to something else accidently. here's the documentation article: help.clip-studio.com/en-us/manual_en/780_shortcuts/780_shortcuts.htm
@@MCollingsArt THANKS!...It just started working again, just the way it stopped.
im having problems it says i have to have a activate code but idk where to find it i made a account but i got so bad that i deleted my account
Maybe your subscription on iPad was canceled or didn't get renewed? IDK, that's definitely a question for CSP support.
umm is there any way to like remove the taskbar from the csp display? like when You open csp the task bar takes a bit of space from the bottom..
like there is this display setting in Photoshop but not sure if it's here
Hey! Are you using iPad or desktop csp? And are you talking about the windows taskbar? Or the file,edit,etc bar at the top of csp?
@@MCollingsArt I use Desktop and yep the Windows Taskbar .
Is there any way to remove it ?
Yeah! Right click on the taskbar in an empty area, go to taskbar settings. I recommend scrolling down and going to multiple displays. These settings let you define where you want your taskbar to show up.
@@MCollingsArt well yea thanks tho I know about the taskbar settings , I meant to ask if I could use Csp in fullscreen mode rather than windowed mode 😅😅
@@MCollingsArt but no worries it's still Ok🙂
ive been trying to put the brush size on the right side but it keeps moving itself :(
hmm... maybe check out this article? I don't really know what to do about that.

What music is playing in the background
It was a DivKid track I think? I got it from the RUclips Audio Library.
Would this work on an android tablet as well?
I honestly have no idea. I have never used Clip Studio on android. Best bet would be look up some reviews of people using Clip on that system? 😊
@@MCollingsArt I’ve tried and surprisingly there’s very little of them haha. But! It turns out it did work and your video was an immense help. 😁
@@cavemankira7972 That's amazing! I'm so glad the video helped. I was thinking it likely would, Clip is really good about keeping the experience consistent. Last thing I want to do is give anyone incorrect info tho. :)
@@MCollingsArt I get that for sure. Always better safe than sorry haha. Video really helped me though. Downloaded clip art yesterday, yesterday was also the very first time I’d done digital art. But I love it so far.
i cannot reset because my clip studio paint is in the Gspace
probably a question for CSP support. i don't use gspace
help mine is in japanese how do i change
Possibly wrong installer? idk, shouldn't be possible for iPad.
Contact CSP support.
I need to watch this at half speed. Just way too fast to try to figure out how to properly move everything around on galaxy tablet.😔
glad you found a work around. 😄
Your video would be better without the music, for me at least. I want to concentrate on what you say and the music distracts me.
Can you be more specific?
😄 ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ
there's no promo in this video. I paid for my iPad Pro and Clip Studio Paint out of pocket. Same with all the tools I mention. When there is a promo, I include the tag.
