I'm still working on getting my new mic perfectly set up, so I apologize if the audio sounds weird at all! I don't know anything about audio.... I think the EQ I did may sound funny.... ack >n<
Also.... The thumbnail is a lie. I'm sorry for deceiving you all... I actually colored this in 45 minutes. :3c

I have been telling myself for YEARS that I was - not a joke - scared of coloring so much. I've been putting much effort into learning CSP and believe me when I say you have given me the push I needed all this time. Your explanations are succinct and wonderfully helpful. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Hey this is a little off topic But i didn't know where else to say it, But I read Castoff yesterday and I just wanted to said, I LOVE IT! I LOVE THE MAIN PLOT, I LOVE ALL OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS! Its one of my fave books maybe even my fave book! like i said at the start this was a bit off topic I just wanted to let you know :)
this is going to the folder
IKR AND VECTOR IS JUST SO SMOLL AND PRECIOUS AND AAAA I WANNA HUG HIM SO MUCH AND I SCREAM EVERY TIME ANY BITCH DARES TO HURT MY BOI
IKR!!
my bby is frankie i love him so much
If you set your flats layer as the reference layer, you can use Refer Multiple to tell Select Color Gamut to only select by your flats layer! 😁
AAAAAAAA I’M GONNA TRY THIS LATERRRRRRR
Since i know there might be FireAlpaca users here, and i might as well help since its not mentioned:
-To adjust the Fill Bucket tools, when you select the tool, on the top of should provide a list of options for the bucket.
-The "Expand () pixel" option is the FireAlpaca version of "Area Scaling".
-The "Refer To" options are also named "Reference ()" on FireAlpaca, in the drop down, select "Canvas".
-In the same heading called "Window", select "Reference" to get a window of whatever image you would like to use and use it to reference and collect color pallets.
Also, just a personal preference, for every different color i fill in, i usually make a new layer for it, and put the colors in a folder. But, just my idea though ^^
you are actually amazing for this
@@Binger838 wow...i didnt know that a comment i left a year ago, would get that much attention...thank you :]
NINJAGO PFP *screams in happy*
@@faithdrawing3858 it is one of my current obsessions right now :]
mainly because i have no idea what else to put lol
@@sunnianne Yayyy! And you have the best character hehe. But yea that's cool :3
Literally a lifesaver, this video gave me back my motivation that I lost 2 years ago ,Thank you 😭😭💞
As a decade long Autodesk sketchbook user, I’ve been so frustrated trying to learn CSP but tuts like this really help, thank you!!!!!
Hi, I have dysgraphia but wanted to draw for so long. I can't do anything but stickmen on a piece of paper, but I was able to do a little bit of vector drawing using Inkscape.
That being said, I really wanted to learn digital art at some point. Between parenthood and work, it wasn't easy, but I asked my wife for a pen tablet for Xmas. She got me the one I wanted because she's awesome, and I've been trying to draw since Xmas.
I was able to do more than I hoped, but still was terrible at character design. Thanks to your tutorial I've been able to make something I'm pretty proud of, even if it must be lacking a lot for a pro eye. Thanks a lot, you really helped me a ton ! :)
for anyone like me that uses procreate, you set your lineart layer as your refrence layer and it will apply colourdrops taking that layer into account. also set the slider in the colourdrop continue filling menu to 90, to get rid of the white gaps.
Yo! I’ve been struggling with low motivation lately, and watching this made me wanna draw to test out these methods! So thank you!
Update: I’m SUPER PROUD of the piece I made with this inspiration!! So double-thank you!!
I have been STRUGGLING with coloring and shading the past few weeks. I have always sucked at colors and shading was a fresh hell. Thank all the gods - and maybe even some demons - that I found this tutorial. I finally got a colored art piece that didn't look like complete poop.
I love shading-dread coloring.
Thank you so much for this!! As a long time traditional artist I feel so behind navigating through digital coloring processes and this helped me out immensely!!
Also just started Castoff - Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creation with the world!!
Since watching your videos I've successfully thumbnailed a full chapter of my own comic project! Thank you for your wonderful content and creations ❤️
Please please do a video on Colors! I need all the help I can get 😂.
I’ve been struggling with being satisfied with how the colors and shading/lighting look in my art and this was an absolute GODSEND!!! You’re amazing!!!
I happened to be coloring an art piece in clip studio when I found this video and STAR YOU HAVE SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME THANK YOU
i actually sat through and watched this entire video and it’s SO HELPFUL IVE WASTED SO MUCH TIME ZOOMING INTO MY DRAWINGS OBSESSIVELY LOOKING FOR WHITE SPOTS i appreciate u bestowing this knowledge for all u are a saint
Your flatting technique just saved me HUNDREDS of potential hours and THOUSANDS of potential dollars. omg. I'm blown away. thank you thank you thank you
Out of all the coloring tutorials I've watched this is the first I've seen that fits my style and my new method of doing things faster. Thank you for the video, I'll learn everything you say here.
I read castoff 3 days straight and Ive caught up to present day and was like. nooo left on a cliffhanger. i love the story and its very inspiring
bruh I didn't know you could do All That with the bucket tool youre a lifesaver (and a wrist saver lol)
Oh my God, the remove dust and adjust line width methods are going to save me soooo much time, thank you for this! Amazing tutorial.
Also, recent fan of your comic and gotta say it is fantastic! I'm sad I finished binging and now have to wait for updates.
I know this wasn’t intended but I think you just convinced me to jump to csp. I’ve grown up using Photoshop for graphic design and procreate was my first ever drawing program, and from how the tool layout appears it seems like a marriage between the two programs turned up to an 11. This was an awesome tutorial and this video has now cemented itself as a core memory in my art brain toolbox. You honestly make learning these techniques really fun, I’d love to see more of them. Much love Star! I hope to read castoff for the first time tonight- I’m obsessed with ariannas character design and can’t wait to learn more about her
This was extremely helpful, I have been using CSP for over a year and I didn't know most these tools existed until today. Thank you so much
This looks really good! I am currently using flippaclip on my phone for art, and now I am realizing how much better other programs are.
I have been struggling with the paint bucket for almost a year and JUST learned of the masking tool! Your tutorial is most helpful! (And of course I figured it out AFTER Artfight)
Additionally, if you go into the Auto Select or "Magic Wand" tool, selecting an entire color to change the palette can also be done by unchecking the "Apply to connected pixels only" option. Every instance of that color occurring will then be selected.
I recently found your video and omg this was always the way I wanted my drawings to turn out but I didn't know how to do it. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this video, it had helped me immensely! The coloring I did before would take me days, now I do everything in few hours (I spend a big chunk of time experimenting and trying to detail!)
Big, BIG thank you!
You're a fairy, it helped me so much 🥺💫🧚
Wow, this video was so great! I learned so many tips in such a short time. I can relate on the if it takes multiple sittings it won't get done. I really appreciate the video!
I'm only 9 minutes into the video and you already saved me SO MUCH TIME on the picture I'm currently colouring. Thank you!!!
I'm crying over all the time I lost coloring "as in a color book" This tip changed everything, thank you!
I didn't get some of this but this significantly improved my art. Thank you!
This is far and above the most helpful guide on this type of coloring I have come across, especially since it is Clip Studio focused. Thank you so much for putting this out!
I have noticed that "This isn't so much lighting science based" appears to be your code phrase for "this is absolutely lighting science based". In almost any book I've read about lighting, that actually goes into the physical properties of light, bounced light and it's fall-off effects are explained in great detail and complexity, and are shown to be the factors that make lighting look "more realistic" when we are rendering. I point this out at the risk of sounding like a jerk, but all I am trying to say is that it appears you are doing intuitively what I had to read a book (a few books actually, and probably a fair share of videos) to even comprehend. Your presentation is excellent. Again, thank you!
I am really thankful for this video! Its a really nice tutorial. I've been having difficulties for years with coloring. To be fair I have no patience with coloring so hopefully this will help me actually go back to digital!
Thank you for this video, it was a huge help with getting to understand the basics of Clip Studio Paint. Completely transformed my art :)
THANK YOU. This tutorial blew my mind.
Thank you so much for this video! I always wonder how people get their art so pretty. Every time i get to the color stage my stuff ends up "muddy" 😅 so definitely have a better grasp of how to make the colors pop better
I'm Buchi from Nigeria. Seriously, it such an honour stumbling on your RUclips channel today to see the content you have created. Thank you for that.
I'll go straight to the point. I have been struggling with lineart, painting or colouring my art for years now. I can't really find a good video ( like a detailed and a step by step video) that'll help me; even if it's a single video that I'll use to achieve this. I love your art style and the way you do your colouring. Seriously, it'll be humbling to see you reply me despite the fact that your engagements are tight. I sincerely can't wait to learn and paint/ colour with your instructions before next year ends. I just graduated from university and very eager to build portfolio for myself.
Please, I'll be to your credit that I get my hands on this.
Please, just know that I'm ready to work day and night to make this happen for me. Please, help me.
I searched you on Instagram and I decided to send this same message there, but I don't think you'll see it that's why I have to drop this here. It'll a miracle for me to paint and line up my illustration. My mum that fell stroke last year who I consider as my heroin will also will be proud to see my painted works on my accounts especially on Instagram. Please, help me I plead with you muse.
This is great helped make csp less itnimidating to try out.
ALSO a tip for people who want a bigger refernce window or multiple refs without needing to droptool the colors: PureRef is free and compatible with linux mac and windows. it allows for different useful options like overlapping the pics, changing the size of the pictures and the window, setting the window to overlay or always on top. Very cool .
Ps: no one ever look at how i put all my downoalded assets (half being useless because i went overboard) in the same sub tool folder.... so many...
Hi! Thank you.
I am a long time user of CSP and my greatest struggle is coloring. I've focused a lot on lineart and now I'm decent at it (read: I mostly always like what I do), but coloring is my bad spot. I love the process of filling the lines up like a child with a marker, but the lights and the color transitions are never good enough. I sometimes give up on digital because on paper it's easier.
Today I used your tips and for once I got a good piece, and I'm satisfied with it. It is a long journey on accustoming on things and set preferences, but I'm glad I've seen your video to start this all. Thank you very much
Thanks for the detailed tutorial and all your helpful tips! 🙂
This video was perfect for issues I was having. I was about to give up on trying to color because it was so tedious.
I have been burned out on my comic and haven't put up a new page since October. This video did something I didn't think was possible: it made me want to work on it! I can't wait to try this stuff out!
MAGNI DESMOND JUMPSCARE hahahaha when you cut to stream I did the biggest double take. Wonderful tutorial, really useful techniques. RIP Maglord.
Thank you so much. I don't know why I haven't came across you before! This helped me understand a ton that I was struggling with for quite some time. Your voice and how you said everything worked perfect for me and the music was really setting the zone! I'm definitely applying what I just learned to find my spot. Again thank you. 🙇♂🙇♂
THATS WHAT THE CORRECT LINE TOOL DOES!?? ALL THIS TIME IVE BEEN DOING IT MANUALLY, THANK YOU STAR YOU ARE NOW MY FAVOURITE RUclips ARTIST
Also watching this has shown me that the hair colour i used in my Vector fanart was the wrong colour and im just gonna pretend it was supposed to be like that
This is so helpful! The coloring and shading process digitally is still so new to me this helped me out so much! Thanks, Star!
This is amazing! I have been playing with digital art for literal decades and your 'dust' and 'correct line' tips blew me away! I love doing comics. But finding and fixing all those little corner boogers is always tedious. I also didn't know about changing the 'to darkest pixel' option either. Thank you so much for these! I'm sure it will speed up my process!
Useful, direct to the point, and simple, im really grateful. If u ever read this, let me tell u sum: thank you:)
Dude dude dude, you just saved me HOURS of drawing time. I wanted a way that I could use the multiply for shading without it looking too repetitive. That gambit tool…… is going to be so good.
This was a goated tutorial, I swear you're a genius hahaha. Would love a line-art tutorial, your lines are beautifully done!
best art tool tutorial ever
Fantastic video! I see a bunch of things I do in a more roundabout way, so i'm very excited to streamline my process further with these tips, thanks a bunch!
For CSP users the following tools are so, so useful! 1759448 (Literally anything from K96 in the asset tab) you set your lineart (i haven't tested if it works with a folder set as a reference, so tread lightly) as a reference layer and you just circle around your image on a new layer under it and it creates a flats base for you!
How i achieve dynamic colours and vibrant shading in CSP without knowing anything:
Step 1: use a dark purple on linear burn and clip to the flats (multiply doesn't shade linearly) and move the opacity down to where it looks good to you (i normally think 55% is good for example. turn it back to normal and back up to 100%. make sure you are done with shading as each time you need to correct something you have to do this all over again.
Step 2: Copy the layer and paste it in top of the first one. turn it to a non- clip layer. it may look stupid and sloppy. its fine, don't worry about it. clip a new, blank layer on top.
Step 3: In the new layer, bucket fill a vibrant red-orange of a MID value (you can go lighter if you need to, but its important to be substantially brighter than the first shading layer in value and saturation). merge the two.
Step 4: dark purple layer back to linear burn. Orange layer goes to colour burn. take the amount you determined and make both % equal to it (so if using 55% you may want to use colour burn at 20% and linear burn at 35%. eyeball it, and experiment!).
Dynamic but really cool colours that go together:
Step 1: WHEN YOUR PIECE IS DONE pick a vibrant, high saturation colour that is a variation of what youve already used in the environment, or the light source, or what the light source would make the shadows look like, etc.
Step 2: Above every single layer except maybe your branding, or signature, or promotional material, make a new layer. take your colour and just fill bucket. turn it to OVERLAY and hit somewhere between 5-25% depending on the scene.
Step 3: take another, slightly complementary colour that is also in the piece, do the same thing.
Step 4: maybe do somewhere between 3-5 of these. play with the order of the colours, the percentages. one of these colours can just be your favorite colour too, iunno just play with it, make it cool and fun and everything. change layer modes, delete certain parts if you don't want a specific portion to be tinted with a specific colour.
Step 5: like really experiment. like, maybe you want to make your shadows multicolored. do it! maybe you want all of your pieces to have a cool red tinge to them, do it!
Its really all about what looks good to you. the dynamic colours impact every single colour in the piece to tint them similarly, creating the effect that all of the colours go together. don't let one layer mode do all the work for you either! Also please understand that even if a program names layer modes the same thing, they may not function the same way! each program has its own way of processing colour and info.
I hope this is a help, I've been doing commission work professionally for a few years now and only just recently have i discovered a way to do this!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 💛💛
thank god!!! u save my day with this tutorial
thank you for the tutorial ^^
That was incredibly helpful. Thanks a lot!
Thank you very much for this guide! I started to draw digitally since a few days ago and this helped me.
thank you so much, this makes so much senses now!!!!!
WOW I never would have thought to use the adjust line width tool like this!! THANK YOU!! that's going to save future me so much time it's life changing lol
this video has made coloring so so so much better for me and it really speeds up my process! I learned so much from this video! thank you!!
Thanks a million for this insightful and clearly deeply researched tutorial! I look forward to listening to more of your works and commend you for such exhaustive attention to detail.
Honestly one of the best tutorials for shading as someone with a toony style ü !! Ty v much !!!! ☆
I would love a video on color theory eventually. You talked about it here and there when picking shadows and stuff but I would love to know some more about that.
I like the way you explain..this vid will help me a lot👍
thank you so much for this helpful tutorial. i knew all of these, but to see them used together in a coherend way was super useful. you’re really good at explaining ! would you consider doing more tutorials on a regular basis ?
Probably not SUPER regular bc they take WAY longer to edit and don't perform as well as my storytime videos ^^' If I do tutorials in the future they'll likely be on Shorts, bc those tend to get a lot more traction!
@@TheStarfishface ahh, i totally get it. i’ll be looking forward to whatever educational content you post 😊
Thank you so much for the tutorial 💖 🔥
wow i love your color style superb~!!!
I LOVED this video, I took notes too, something I almost never do(willingly) and would definitely like to see a color theory video!
Thank you so much👏🏼
Another thing you can do if you have characters you draw a lot and need to access their pellets often is use the Color Set window to create your own pallets! All you have to do is go to the color set window (usually is with the color wheel) and click on the little wrench icon. Click the "Create new color set" option and name it. The set will automatically be added to the list with the default sets already available! Then you will be met with a grid of transparent squares and all you have to do is select a square, use the eye dropper tool to get the color you need, and click "add color" (the icon with the arrow and square) or "replace color" (the icon that looks like a tear drop with a plus) And add the pallet!
Doing this means you can have all of the pallets you could need already in your program for you to access in an instant whenever you need them. You can also export and import color sets so you can save a back up of the sets to your computer or transfer the pallet you already made to another person or device.
Hope this helps!
This video is awesoome, i learned so much from it, thank you
Just what i needed! Thank you!!
25:13 The science is called the "equator" I'm pretty sure. It's the darkest part of an object being hit by a source of direct light. It's the edge that is facing at a right angle to the direct light and has no other source of light as strong as the direct light to add brightness to it. People often, incorrectly, call it SSS (sub-surface scattering). You correctly knew what SSS actually was haha.
I'm new to CSP thank you so much
Beautiful artwork and great tutorial!
It's not dissimilar to how I do my colouring, but I learned several new things to try out in my future art.
Also just watched your video on what not to do when making webcomics, yeah... I was one of those artists who started a webcomic about something I enjoyed, made a great many of those mistakes, and then stopped. If only I could have watched your video ten years ago, haha.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is gonna be a huge time saver for me!
The Paint Unfilled Area Tool does something similar. You can to set it to target all colors.
You are a lifesaver. Thank you for this incredible tutorial!
wow, Thank you so much. That video help me so much.
Actual good tutorial 👍
Thank you thank you thank you ❤❤❤❤
I recently got clip studio paint so this is very helpful! Thank you :)
Holly fuck this is amazing! just straight to the point and very practical tips. Excellent job.
Good tutorial. There's actually some theory behind the shadow outlines: it's the core shadow which is the darkest part of a curved surface - the relatively thin line is the part that's most turned away from the incoming light... the neighboring shadowed parts are curved at a different angle and catch more scattered light. Of course this does not have to be at the edge of the shadow but it's a stylized version of this concept.
Amazing video! Only just started learning csp properly, so only a year late to your stuff 😅
P.s love the bg music
For Procreate you can drag an image into a empty palette and it will copy your character’s colour to create a palette
This is a great video I loved it :)
Thank you for this! Was having trouble with the gaps. I feel embarassed to not know the fill gap with surrounding colors tool😂 also the adjust line width tool while the character is selected is smart !
thanks it works
Thanks, this was VERY helpful!
great tutorial :)
As someone who lost alot of time being really meticulous to get some funky art, I'm liking how this girl thinks.
I'm late to this for sure, but I've been finding this really helpful! After a year-long absence from Clip due to college, I've been using this as a tutorial to un-rust my digital art bones. I'm definitely missing some of the nuances, but it's super helpful to follow this at my own pace. And it super feels good to find all these optimizations to the process! I always knew I wasn't utilizing Clip to it's proper potential, and this is really helping me fix that! I've got a long ways to go for sure, but I thank you for helping me along the way.
You're a life saver! I'll be sure to read the entirety of Castoff to thank you for your help :)
Shading and coloring is only thing I can’t understand. Because the so many layers get me so confused and give me high anxiety. Thank you for the advice
This video is incredibly helpful buut I wish she added sections to the video. I tend to kinda draw along while watching & often need specific parts replayed so I can duplicate the process.
thank you so much! this helped me out a lot.
this is SUPER helpful!
I'm used to use lasso fill. But I'll star to use the fill tool and the tips you showed. But for the shadows I still think lasso fill is better.
This helped so much!! Thank you!!!!!
