r/ClipStudio

Hi! So I've recently cranked out a bunch of art with Ver. 1 of CSP. I didn't decide to upgrade to the most recent version until the tail end of the visual novel because i was getting fed up with the lagging some brushes caused lol.

So for most of my works I used a crunchy lineart brsh for the backgrounds and keep the lineart on its own separate layer. Then I flat everything. I used layer modes [Multiply, Glow Dodge, or Hard Light] to darken or add light to fit the mood that I want. I cel-shade everything on a Multiply layer mode with the g-pen brush since it's simple and easy to control. After the shading is blocked in, I go back and texture the shading with either hand-made strokes or use textured stamps [I enjoy "Noisy Noise Generator" by saturns_day on CSP asset store). I then and go and do the same thing for extra shading and highlights. Layer modes are your friends!!

I also like to use all sorts of 3D models when sketching :) placing human models is great for getting an idea of the perspective and height of buildings. I was also approaching my deadline when working on this visual novel so the other models on the asset store page also helped me work faster haha.

The only thing not created in CSP were the textbox icons. Those are pixel art done is Asesprite instead.

The visual novel is called "Lap Of The Gods" on Steam if anyone is interested. Thanks for reading!! : )

I'm trying to get this effect in CSP where the screen tones in the bubble/sfx, as seen in the first two examples, seem to like cause a little overlay effect or whatever and sits on top of everything, even the blacks/inks underneath. But when I try it, see my example(sorry for the bad example) the inks/blacks just sit on top of it. I tried setting it to overlay or multiply or rearranging the layer orders, but that did nothing.

I’m new and I really spend hard time trying to clean my lineart

Exactly what it says in the title. I am using clip studio EX, but still I cant seem to figure out how to extend my animation. I am very new to clip studio and animation in general, so pls help.

I have been wondering if there is a way to select everything that is on a layer without using the auto select tool.

I have been working with a lot more soft edges or messy media and using the auto select tool makes it select everything besides what is not at full opacity like shown above in the image ⬆.

Is there a way to make it so you can select absolutely everything?

Process: very basic, rough sketch with default csp pencil , and inks with 'slippery stroke and weak pen' (link below), the paper texture should be easy to find (I don't really remember where I got it), I just played with levels and saturation so not to go full grayscale but keeping the tone slightly warm

Finished this today, couldn't forget this scene so had to make her!

So I’ve been dealing with this since I got this tablet 2 years ago. I’m just wondering if anyone’s had the same thing and has a fix for it? I have to completely restart my program for it to format properly again.

Version: 5.0

Tablet: Wacom Mobile Studio Pro 16

I've had this problem when I use the symmetry ruler. I always manually put them in the middle. And most times it's inaccurate. So I have to carefully place them in the middle. And sometimes I don't know the real middle part. I'm using a tablet please help.

Took a ~3 ish month hiatus and returning now, updating to 5.0.4, and now trying to draw gives this bizarre blocky, pixelated texture rather than a flat colour (like the long dark blue line down the right side).

Are the brushes corrupted or outdated, or is this some setting that was defaulted to when I updated? Or worse still, a graphic driver error that goes deeper than CSP? I havent noticed this effect on anything else in terms of games or daily browser use.

I recently had to do a factory reset on my pc and i downloaded clip studio again and for some reason the UI is massive, at least way bigger than what it was before. i followed some steps i found online to make it smaller but it doesnt work.

Trying to send an animation file I have been working on on my Samsung tablet to my pc put it in cloud and I keep getting this error message. Can’t edit it at all not sure what I’m doing wrong how can my pc not be able to handle something my tablet can do?

So, im working on my comic (on the phone as you can see) and for some reason, after the export it darkens on a very ugly-looking way.

I've seen this has something to do with the so-called moiré effect, and that I have to do all sort of stuff with the layers and the resolution and yadayada.

Anyway, all the tips I find are on the computer version of CSP. Anyone has any idea of how could I make it Watchable while working on the phone?

I'd gladly thank you for a Tutorial of some kind.

Dms are open if you'd like to help me.

Thanks.

I know this is lasso fill and blocking, but what settings are they using to make the same color overlap with each other? I could only achieve this by putting each shape on its own layer, but that doesn't feel practical.
