CLASS IS FINALLY IN SESSION. That was a fun one 😚 this process is so basic you should be able to follow in almost any software. I put this together before CSP made any changes to pricing BTW and mostly because that’s what most of my students use. Would’ve been cool to know they had a bombshell announcement right before I released the video but eh 🤷♂️ still doesn’t change the fact it’s the best alternative to Photoshop out there… for now!
clip studio will still have a one time purchase option alongside the subscription model, the old version programms just not getting updates anymore next year. so you're fine mr.brunet
Clip Studio will still be one-time-purchase, For CSP1.0, CSP2.0, and 3.0. The updates inbetween as subscription based, however. It's like a mixture between Sony Vegas and Photoshop's model.
iirc csp still have the option for one time purchase. 😁 But only for the older versions. Once the newest one comes out that's the only one that'll be subscription based. And also if you're wanting newer features on your one time purchased versions that's where the subscription comes in too. That's from what I understood. I hope I also said it well. English is hard it's not my first language hahahha but thank you for the video, Marc! Been really struggling w coloring hahahah 🤣 this is like my calling.
Just so you know the wand tool in CPS actually has a "close gap" setting that will make it bridge gaps in linework with the max size of the gaps being determined by the value it's set to. It's not perfect of course, since it can result in false positives but those can usually be quickly fixed with the lasso tool. But honestly, it's shocking of often close gaps on its own nails it, even with line work that has a lot of intentionally lost edges. The fill bucket also has this close gap feature, as well as the ability to "overfill" the area by a certain number of pixels. This can potentially eliminate the need for a selection in the first place, especially if you intend your lineart to be visible at the end. You can even drag the bucket over multiple areas to fill them all the same color.
Not only that but the colorize feature too and the feature to select all parts that share one color instead of lassoing all the parts of the same color. I hope Marc can implement those quality of life features on his workflow soon!
Also instead of going back to the flats layer to select areas with the same color, you can set it up as a reference layer for the wand tool and it will select stuff from there even if you're on another layer.
Marc Brunet "Coloring is hard" Me: "Yes it is" Also Marc: Proceeds to make one of the most professional and beautiful looking art that looks so 3D it looks like it was made in a 3d modeling program while making it look easy to understand so that hundreds and thousands of people can learn. This man is a treasure.
lol I end up with a new layer with like every new thing I wanna do. It's probably not the best habit since I start losing track of what's where so I just make another layer and paint over it lol
Clip studio started paying/partnering with youtubers so new people comes, they have very very good deal right now of 23 euros as "only payment", but newcomers dont know that they will need to pay more for updates
Honestly (I know this is controversial in the artist world), I’m waiting to see the prices before bashing them. There’s a lot of positives with having monthly payments roll in for us (not the company). The biggest being, they can hire more people and get new perspectives and tool/idea creation. I’m also not backing them because if I have to pay $20 a month to use csp, then I’m out. I’ll figure out sketchbook because it’s free and pretty darn good. Or I might look into art rage or one of those other bigger chunk one payment types.
Great as always, I've been waiting for this one for weeks. I like the shots in 8:17 where we can see your hands working not just the screen recording, you should do them more often.
I really liked seeing a full work flow. I draw a lot, but pretty much never color because it seems intimidating. Seeing a step by step work flow demystifies the process. I'm going to re watch this multiple times as I follow along and color my own stuff. Thanks!
I'm really happy I finally got to buy Marc's Art School program and now every video from him has some extra magic alongside the vast foundation in the course. Also as a long time CSP-EX user, this is a great video theme. CSP has formidable resources and, even if it becomes a subscription service, it will still be very competitive. I don't have any issues with paying for quality.
Marc's videos are literal "digital art gold". These classes are easily worth the value, and his instruction, tips and tricks and brushes are phenomenal. So glad I stumbled upon his channel. Easily some of the highest tier education I have found. 11/10. Thanks for the videos Marc!
Hey Mark, you'll probably never see this but i keep coming back to this video for the past 2 weeks and it has helped me take my art to another level that i've been wanting for so long after almost 8 years of freelance illustration. I have to work at a callcenter atm so i barely get time to draw, but once a week i get excited to try and be better at this particular technique, i haven't felt proud of something i've drawn in a long time, thanks a lot man.
I’m so excited for this bc me and my dad use Clip Art Studio and we really like your teaching style. We are actual fixing to enroll in your class I’m pretty sure
On one hand I'm super excited for an art class from Marc in CPS! On the other hand, OF COURSE Clip studio is sponsoring art classes to improve their image after what they have done. So predictable. ...but the first hand is stronger, I know the video is going to be great.
@@ourlordandsaviorkurapika9818 they are switching to a hybrid subscription system. We all bought the base version with the promise of frequent updates, now they are taking all of the updates away and putting them behind a monthly subscription. If you stop paying one month, they will force you back to basic version and you may not be able to even open your CSP files you made with the updated version. And, to boot, after two years the basic version will be obsolete, so everyone will have to buy a brand new basic version. Even people who paid for subscriptions. It's insane.
@@EntG1 am thinking of transfering to krita or mediabang as i draw illustrations but also want to draw webtoon/stories one day. which would you recommend?
Thanks for another great tutorial, Marc. I like that you included real-time shots of you painting so that we can get an idea of your actual paint strokes instead of just seeing time-lapses of the cursor movement. It's really helpful.
Thank you!!! You have no idea how much i struggled with this... I've been seeing very good progress until i reached this step, but once i did, I couldnt figure it out no matter how many videos i watched. But this 12 minute banger is a gamechanger. I took my artpiece, implemented everything you said, and the result is mindblowing!!! Much appreciated!!
I know CSP having a lot of artists suddenly do video with them is a strategy that I'm not surprised by. But seeing Marc workflow on csp is something I can't miss
A cool CSP tip I have taught on my videos as well that I will share with you is using the Lasso Fill tool (U) to lay out your flats. It works the same as a lasso tool BUT you easily and instantly fill with color everything you capture with it. You can also adjust the stability in case you have shakey old man hands like me :P
Thank you very much for this tutorial. I recently spent 10+ hours on a piece but it just seems like it's lacking something, a final, secret thing that could improve the drawing overall. But I just don't know what it is, so I was just waiting till I find out what was lacking. AND NOW THAT I KNOW IT, I'm going to finish it. Thank you very much, teacher Marc.
Marc, your channel is a treasure! Thanks to your videos, my skill has improved SIGNIFICANTLY. Previously, it was very difficult for me to believe that I would one day be able to get close to the same skill league as the professionals, but now I can safely say that I am already on the way to my dream! Thanks for all your videos on the channel, especially for the shading and anatomy lessons. I can't believe HOW much they helped me!
Mr Marc Brunet!!!! I have finally gotten a chance to try this colouring tutorial for clipstudio, and as someone who has been using clipstudio for years and have always avoided colour work....it's overwhelming and scary.....i have to say this tutorial is fantastic, very easy to follow, effective techniques and very accessible, entertaining too, i have followed your channel for quite a while now and am delighted to have found this video, i love clipstudio and you have broadened my knowledge substantially. thank you so much!!! keep up the good work!
I can not wait to try this on my next drawing. Im always swimming in layers and it make everything feel like a slog. im so hype to try this on my next personal piece.
2:00 1. Clean lineart on his own (multiply) layer - 2. Lasso tool to select the whole drawing, random colour to it // enclose and fill 3. Lasso again to divide different elements and colore each one, so we finish the base 4. Modify colours, filters, etc. Decide colour palette (complementary colours etc) - 5.
Marc, just as I was wondering what to do for coloring in CSP, you come to save the day. You're an absolute Godsend to us aspiring artists, you deserve your pillow cold on both sides
@Marc Brunet , test the vector layer for your sketch’s and linework… in clipstudio the vector recognizes size pressure and opacity pressure , your drawings will not lose quality (you can set the vector line quality in the vector line options so doesn’t appear pixelated ), you will discover it’s a life saving for flat coloring cause you can set the line layer as reference and in a layer bellow use the paint bucket (you can set to paint until the middle of the vector lines, so you won’t have to select all the sections)… what I do normally is make the lines in vector, set as ref (the lighthouse icon, you find this one in the same area of the lock transparent pixels ), then select outside with the wand and invert selection, make a new layer and put gray, then I use the paint bucket in a layer above the gray one but clipped to the gray layer (to clip you get the layer above and click the icon that is in the left side of the lighthouse icon)…and put all the colors I want in the areas with the paint bucket.
Hi Marc, I'm just a poor german dude who is trying find his own place in the art scene. I started following your Channel back in 2017 and i always gain new skills after watching your vids so i just wanted to thank you for constantly uploading new tips an tricks and bringing at least a glimps of your knowledge to your community for free. This video was kind of what i was waiting for. I'm one of those Clipstudio Paint painters and i never got the results i was aiming for. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁😘
@@elk3407 if you read their post thats not actually true. To summarize: 1. 1.0 users will stop getting updates and support. We get to keep the version as long as we want 2. With version 2.0, theres a base version and a subscription for special featuress. Basically, unless you want the new features, (which current CSP has hundreds youll likely never even use) it doesnt matter so long as your computer OS can run you 1.0 version Overall it sucks. They broke their promise with the original version, but at least they are letting us keep what we paid for. The scummy thing is that they are stopping all bug fixes for 1.0 users
@@That1Weeb The base version for 2.0 is one without any updates, and all updates will be lost if you don't pat for the sub. In other words, it's just a subscription.
@@elk3407 All future updates, you mean. The current CSP that we got at this moment will remain the way it is, won't be updated but also won't be stripped of any features

Your " ... new love."? Where have you been, my friend? I stopped using Adobe Suite as soon as they started charging a ridiculous (and, expensive) monthly fee. I bought my first edition of CSP way back when it was still correctly titled Manga Studio Pro back in what, 2014? It, and my second purchase of the CSP software (so I could use it on a total of four computers) was worth every single penny. You're definitely a fellow artist with that quirky personality of yours. Definitely a BIG "Thumbs-up!" from me for your video tutorial. It's always good to learn all the different ways that artists use their favorite software. Thanks for the tutorial!
I really needed this! I've been finding myself having trouble colouring my work recently, I've been more into line art, but I want colouring to be fun again!
I am currently getting slowly in touch with your technique, since I always got stuck in heavy detailed outlines and after a while trying to multi layer color something I already spent too much time on, made me often quit midst most of my drawings. But .. BEHOLD - Messias Marc came to the Rescue ! -introducing me to this kind of very clever coloring where decisions of light and shadow are made quite early, and heavy reducing the amount of time and layers I normally work on one drawing. I absolutely adore your RUclips artschool and since i found you - i am always on board for your newest video. You really helped me improve my skills in so many ways. Although I often thought, I would be too bad at learning something new, when i got frustrated over the amount of pictures I never finished. (Also your previous video was again - a great help to improve there, too. Thank you so much!)
Man, I used PS a long time a go however for illustration/Manga and animation Clip Studio es the best I am happy to see that Marc is using it even calling it a new favorite, please do more of this on Clip, I am saving money to get your course!!
I recently started learning to draw and bought a graphics tablet yesterday. And looking at all this, it seems so hard and difficult, but I understand that this is exactly the result that inspires me to move on to the dream of becoming an illustrator and a manga artist. Thank you, Marc Teacher
Going from coloring, shading, and lighting on one drawing the way you do in a coloring book to coloring with multiple layers is intimidating especially if you have never used a layering system. However, once you master the program and its tools and get the hang of playing with layers, you'll find its very easy. I've done quite impressive work without using layers. The key is having a good understanding of how light effects an object. Shading and lighting are the most important skills and once you master them you can make anything look good.
wow! finally!!! marc brunet already make a video about clip studio :) I'm always using your method of coloring on photoshop whenever I'm creating illustrations on clip studio paint and the result becomes better and better. And I've also downloaded already your CSP brush hehee
This was the best timing for the coloring tutorial Because I've been struggling to color my characters recently this really really super mega helped super helpfull!!!
Yes, this was GLORIOUS. One of my main issues is effectively using the lasso tool, because I can never keep on my lineart. Apparently I have far less hand-eye coordination than is to be expected of a digital artist lol Although, to circumvent this, I meticulously go over the inside border of an area and just fill the color. Does it take an extra bit of time? Yes it does! Ive been doing it that for so long, I know not any other way. Marc, teach me your ways! 😭 🙏🏿
Yess! Finally. Honestly couldn't really work with the tutorials you made with PS because I use CSP but now I can follow each step and try myself. I'll surely do that, thank you.
Wow you make it look so easy. I've seen a lot of tutorials about coloring before, but they're too complicated for me! I think I'll get there with practice eventually, but for now, I think this would work great. Thank you!
I see most people are informed about CSP's bs going on. Please remember that: - they're making a V2 - V2 will have a permanent license separate from V1, as will the eventual V3. - V2.x future updates require subscription, until V3 rolls around and it fuses into V3's permanent license therefore! - v2 isnt worth it - you should stick to v1 or wait for v3 - because v2 without a subscription will be stuck at v2.1 - meanwhile v1 users will stop juuust before v2.0, which isnt that big of a difference - but v3 will contain all of the v2.1+ features
I don't have Clipstudio but it's Marc's class and your art literally hits different and who knows? Maybe some of these tips will really help me so I'm here 😊
@@YTartschool Looking forward to the video! Ever since I watched your video on taking care of my health, my art has improved tremendously over a day!! You're my favourite art youtuber now :)
I very much appreciate these tutorials, and I've even enrolled in the art school program, but in both cases I find myself wanting to see the full shading process, since actually applying these tools for finer details is what really has me scratching my head, and yet we never see it... I understand that they'd be some lengthy videos, but I'd be stocked to have at least one long video where the entire shading process is explained step by step, like how to handle the hair, folds, wrinkles, etc... and which brushes/techniques to use.
practice tbh. I would say just find a photo and copy to the best of your abililty. His tuts on AO shading and volume shading are simple but that is really all there is to it. He is just a professional
It's amazing how quickly you improve, Like this is drastically better than what were already amazing drawings when I first found this channel back in 2020, amazing content as always, keep up the great work
Thank you so much! I'm bored with old grayscale technique but can't work with direct color painting and hundreds of layers. This motivates me to paint and I can't wait to try it myself! (pss I'm using CSP too so LFGGG)
😮 My jaw is on the floor. It was driving me crazy how every time you open CSP, there’s these BEAUTIFUL examples in the offers and contests the devs made in it, but I couldn’t figure out how they did it because I used to use Gimp, so my own coloring has always been flat and bland. My anatomy needs a lot of work as well!! Now this will be a game changer for me! Don’t know if I’ll win the latest CSP contest, but it’s 4 days to enter. Either way, my fan art just leveled up a bit in quality!
How convenient! I'm currently coloring my drawing as I watch this on CSP. Sucks though they are moving to a pure subscription model which was the reason I quit using Photoshop CC and paid for a "lifetime license" for CSP......
I am so happy to see something done with Clip Studio Paint and I have been using it ever since I got a copy of it from a steep sale, and been loving every bit of it! Seeing what you have discovered and made the progress that much simpler has dumbstruck me to realizing what I could be doing instead! Love it! ^^ 💜 I've mostly lately used some of the techniques you do on PS to Clip with the use of layers and such. 😆
This video was helpful. I can save some time following your steps, since one of my biggest art problems is that I take super long. Also how you get it done in like 5 layers is impressive, I usually have to use like 30 layers in case of crew ups
Really excited to try out coloring like this, I just started to do digital art few weeks ago with Clip studio paint and still struggling a bit. And of course amazing end result like in any other of your videos, very inspiring!

@Marc Brunet , test the vector layer for your sketch’s and linework… in clipstudio the vector recognizes size pressure and opacity pressure , your drawings will not lose quality (you can set the vector line quality in the vector line options so doesn’t appear pixelated ), you will discover it’s a life saving for flat coloring cause you can set the line layer as reference and in a layer bellow use the paint bucket (you can set to paint until the middle of the vector lines, so you won’t have to select all the sections)… what I do normally is make the lines in vector, set as ref (the lighthouse icon, you find this one in the same area of the lock transparent pixels ), then select outside with the wand and invert selection, make a new layer and put gray, then I use the paint bucket in a layer above the gray one but clipped to the gray layer (to clip you get the layer above and click the icon that is in the left side of the lighthouse icon)…and put all the colors I want in the areas with the paint bucket.
The way he shade to get out of the lineart just looks like magic for me, I do not understand the process and the end is amazing....
Hi Marc,
I'm just a poor german dude who is trying find his own place in the art scene. I started following your Channel back in 2017 and i always gain new skills after watching your vids so i just wanted to thank you for constantly uploading new tips an tricks and bringing at least a glimps of your knowledge to your community for free.
This video was kind of what i was waiting for. I'm one of those Clipstudio Paint painters and i never got the results i was aiming for.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁😘
Marc NOT doing a Photoshop video? BLASHPEMY! (welcomed for me and fellow subscription haters tho :D)
I feel like I'm having an affair and I like it.
Boy do I have bad news.
Clip Studio is moving to a subscription
@@elk3407 if you read their post thats not actually true.
To summarize:
1. 1.0 users will stop getting updates and support. We get to keep the version as long as we want
2. With version 2.0, theres a base version and a subscription for special featuress.
Basically, unless you want the new features, (which current CSP has hundreds youll likely never even use) it doesnt matter so long as your computer OS can run you 1.0 version
Overall it sucks. They broke their promise with the original version, but at least they are letting us keep what we paid for. The scummy thing is that they are stopping all bug fixes for 1.0 users
@@That1Weeb The base version for 2.0 is one without any updates, and all updates will be lost if you don't pat for the sub. In other words, it's just a subscription.
@@elk3407 All future updates, you mean. The current CSP that we got at this moment will remain the way it is, won't be updated but also won't be stripped of any features

These Tutorials are always great for seeing what _can_ be done and broadening your perspective of work flow. That said, never hesitate to deviate or make some adjustments to your own process if you feel it suits you better! We all work differently, and at the end of the day, _you_ just want what works for youー! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
Your " ... new love."? Where have you been, my friend? I stopped using Adobe Suite as soon as they started charging a ridiculous (and, expensive) monthly fee.
I bought my first edition of CSP way back when it was still correctly titled Manga Studio Pro back in what, 2014? It, and my second purchase of the CSP software (so I could use it on a total of four computers) was worth every single penny.
You're definitely a fellow artist with that quirky personality of yours.
Definitely a BIG "Thumbs-up!" from me for your video tutorial. It's always good to learn all the different ways that artists use their favorite software. Thanks for the tutorial!
always had trouble figuring hard light, the way you talked about it makes its use make more sense
I really needed this! I've been finding myself having trouble colouring my work recently, I've been more into line art, but I want colouring to be fun again!
I am currently getting slowly in touch with your technique, since I always got stuck in heavy detailed outlines and after a while trying to multi layer color something I already spent too much time on, made me often quit midst most of my drawings.
But .. BEHOLD - Messias Marc came to the Rescue ! -introducing me to this kind of very clever coloring where decisions of light and shadow are made quite early, and heavy reducing the amount of time and layers I normally work on one drawing. I absolutely adore your RUclips artschool and since i found you - i am always on board for your newest video. You really helped me improve my skills in so many ways. Although I often thought, I would be too bad at learning something new, when i got frustrated over the amount of pictures I never finished. (Also your previous video was again - a great help to improve there, too. Thank you so much!)
I love this new style of content where you work on a final piece instead on some practice project
Thank you Mark. I didnt realize clip studio is so familiar to photoshop. This demystefied the program for me:)
Man, I used PS a long time a go however for illustration/Manga and animation Clip Studio es the best I am happy to see that Marc is using it even calling it a new favorite, please do more of this on Clip, I am saving money to get your course!!
the best intro yet
This gave me a lot of insight into color and shading thank you Marc.
thanks to your tutorials and constant practice all of the process is getting easier to understand.
I recently started learning to draw and bought a graphics tablet yesterday. And looking at all this, it seems so hard and difficult, but I understand that this is exactly the result that inspires me to move on to the dream of becoming an illustrator and a manga artist. Thank you, Marc Teacher
Going from coloring, shading, and lighting on one drawing the way you do in a coloring book to coloring with multiple layers is intimidating especially if you have never used a layering system. However, once you master the program and its tools and get the hang of playing with layers, you'll find its very easy. I've done quite impressive work without using layers. The key is having a good understanding of how light effects an object. Shading and lighting are the most important skills and once you master them you can make anything look good.
Thank you, Marc-sensei. This has been pretty insightful and was a boost to my confidence in painting 👍
wow! finally!!! marc brunet already make a video about clip studio :) I'm always using your method of coloring on photoshop whenever I'm creating illustrations on clip studio paint and the result becomes better and better. And I've also downloaded already your CSP brush hehee
This was the best timing for the coloring tutorial Because I've been struggling to color my characters recently this really really super mega helped super helpfull!!!
Thank you for teaching us coloring on Clipstudio Paint! I need to take your courses
Yes, this was GLORIOUS. One of my main issues is effectively using the lasso tool, because I can never keep on my lineart. Apparently I have far less hand-eye coordination than is to be expected of a digital artist lol Although, to circumvent this, I meticulously go over the inside border of an area and just fill the color. Does it take an extra bit of time? Yes it does! Ive been doing it that for so long, I know not any other way. Marc, teach me your ways! 😭 🙏🏿
Yess! Finally. Honestly couldn't really work with the tutorials you made with PS because I use CSP but now I can follow each step and try myself. I'll surely do that, thank you.
Forget about coloring - Marks video editing skills are amazing!
Thank you so much, i use Clip Studio paint and i can't wait to see your tips about it 🙏
Wow you make it look so easy. I've seen a lot of tutorials about coloring before, but they're too complicated for me! I think I'll get there with practice eventually, but for now, I think this would work great. Thank you!
I see most people are informed about CSP's bs going on. Please remember that:
- they're making a V2
- V2 will have a permanent license separate from V1, as will the eventual V3.
- V2.x future updates require subscription, until V3 rolls around and it fuses into V3's permanent license
therefore!
- v2 isnt worth it
- you should stick to v1 or wait for v3
- because v2 without a subscription will be stuck at v2.1
- meanwhile v1 users will stop juuust before v2.0, which isnt that big of a difference
- but v3 will contain all of the v2.1+ features
I don't have Clipstudio but it's Marc's class and your art literally hits different and who knows? Maybe some of these tips will really help me so I'm here 😊
It should work great in almost any software ;)
@@YTartschool Looking forward to the video! Ever since I watched your video on taking care of my health, my art has improved tremendously over a day!! You're my favourite art youtuber now :)
Been learning digital art with CSP and yer videos for almost a year now, thank you for covering some CSP stuff! Love your teaching style!
This is genuinely so helpful!! Omg!! I did an art study following this tutorial and it went great, thank you!!!
This came out fantastic. Love those final touches.
I love you so much :') Every single time I'm stuck with my art, you come a drop a vid that I would happily gobble up.
I very much appreciate these tutorials, and I've even enrolled in the art school program, but in both cases I find myself wanting to see the full shading process, since actually applying these tools for finer details is what really has me scratching my head, and yet we never see it...
I understand that they'd be some lengthy videos, but I'd be stocked to have at least one long video where the entire shading process is explained step by step, like how to handle the hair, folds, wrinkles, etc... and which brushes/techniques to use.
practice tbh.
I would say just find a photo and copy to the best of your abililty.
His tuts on AO shading and volume shading are simple but that is really all there is to it.
He is just a professional
It's amazing how quickly you improve, Like this is drastically better than what were already amazing drawings when I first found this channel back in 2020, amazing content as always, keep up the great work
Thank you so much! I'm bored with old grayscale technique but can't work with direct color painting and hundreds of layers. This motivates me to paint and I can't wait to try it myself! (pss I'm using CSP too so LFGGG)
😮 My jaw is on the floor. It was driving me crazy how every time you open CSP, there’s these BEAUTIFUL examples in the offers and contests the devs made in it, but I couldn’t figure out how they did it because I used to use Gimp, so my own coloring has always been flat and bland. My anatomy needs a lot of work as well!! Now this will be a game changer for me! Don’t know if I’ll win the latest CSP contest, but it’s 4 days to enter. Either way, my fan art just leveled up a bit in quality!
Just wanna say that I love the way you teach. Thanks a lot!! Have a lot of great days, you deserve it!
im so excited to learn more things from you marc! because of you i managed to improve and get rid of my art block
How convenient! I'm currently coloring my drawing as I watch this on CSP.
Sucks though they are moving to a pure subscription model which was the reason I quit using Photoshop CC and paid for a "lifetime license" for CSP......
볼륨감 ,색 을 분리? 내가 예전에 그렸던 방법을 완전히 뒤집는 새로운 방법
미친! 천재! 재미!
Thanks for the lesson CLIP STUDIO PAINT is the best drawing program!
dude i needed this so bad i've only been making sketches for the past week because coloring has been so difficult for me
Dam! He actually switched over to clip Studio, I knew I liked this guy!
Awesome!..as usual. CSP is great, glad to see it getting some deserved positive attention.
I've been using csp for 5month, Thank u for making csp video and she looks gorgeous.
Every moment was just another 'Wow!' or 'Woah...' moment for me, I learned so much from this class. Thank you, o' wise bald light.
Legend, thank you for giving this for free, I can apply these simple steps to my art.
This was definitely the most helpful of your videos for me personally. Thank you so much for this.
Omg I love this teacher so much, I am finally able to study 😭
Been wanting to see more of these sort of videos, since I'm using CSP for a while now, so glad to see it is happening
This video is literal gold 🥹✨
The extra step is super :)
Esp the pattern on the cape are such an improvement.
Finally!!! The Clip Studio Paint software video~~~ FINALLY!!!!😭😭😭😭😭
I am so happy to see something done with Clip Studio Paint and I have been using it ever since I got a copy of it from a steep sale, and been loving every bit of it! Seeing what you have discovered and made the progress that much simpler has dumbstruck me to realizing what I could be doing instead! Love it! ^^ 💜
I've mostly lately used some of the techniques you do on PS to Clip with the use of layers and such. 😆
This video was helpful. I can save some time following your steps, since one of my biggest art problems is that I take super long. Also how you get it done in like 5 layers is impressive, I usually have to use like 30 layers in case of crew ups
You can also click "convert brightness to opacity" for the line art layer.
Just simplified the coloring to the easiest !!
That was very very very impressive !!
10:00 this is beautiful
Color light
Really excited to try out coloring like this, I just started to do digital art few weeks ago with Clip studio paint and still struggling a bit. And of course amazing end result like in any other of your videos, very inspiring!
