One feature I really like that no other app has is the ability to paint with edge detection. So instead of using layers or selecting boundaries, it can automatically detect your line work and won't let the paint go beyond it. It feels like coloring within the lines naturally and is very enjoyable.

Fun fact, the original name for Clip Studio Paint was NOT Manga Studio. Clip Studio Paint is the original name. "Manga Studio" was a rebranding of a string of unrelated but kind-of-related programs made by the Japanese company Celsys. E Frontier and then SmithMicro rebranded them as part of their North American localization deal. Clip Studio Paint 1.0 was the first version of this brand new program in 2013. But SmithMicro rebranded it as "Manga Studio 5", because it was similar to the other programs they previously rebranded. The deal has since expired and Celsys now does localization under their own name. That means it's just "Clip Studio Paint" for everyone, whether you use freedom units or not.

Looking forward to the sequel "10 Things I Hate About Photoshop".

Been using it since Manga Studio 4 and CSP still my favorite tool~

The vector eraser is a timesaver. I'm surprised other art apps haven't copied this feature.

Why I love Clip Studio Paint: It’s the goat

Vector Layers are life changers!! I didn't use them for a while, but when I finally understood how to use them it made a huge diference in my art. It made it so much easier to edit my line art without completely redrawing it

This is my go to program. So much better than photoshop for illustration

Let me clarify something about the software. Clip Studio was originally called "Comic Studio", and was created in the early 1990s by a company called "Celsys" in japan, the creators of Retas pro, which still used in anime studios. A use company called Smith Micro licensed Comic Studio and re-branded it as "Manga Studio" and their last version under that name was Manga Studio 4 or 5. In Japan Celsys killed Retas Pro and merged Retas with Comic Studio and re-branded it as Clip Studio Art. the rest is self explanatory

Excited for this series! Man i really gotta dig into learning csp more. All those features! This was definitely helpful learning some of them, thank you

Your videos are always so interesting! You actually helped me to get back into digital art! I had been watching a ton of videos on what to buy to start and had spent several hours across several days trying to decide and it was finally your video on the Surface Laptop Studio follow up that gave me exactly what I was looking for! I purchased it and have been practicing as I've been a physical medium user my whole life and drawing digitally is a bit of a learning curve but I also purchased your class and it has helped me as well! I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating such accessible and wonderful content! It is inspiring and helps give people like me the inspiration to try things they've been wanting to for years but didn't know where to start. 💜

Number 1 reason why I love Clip studio. It’s not photoshop

Literally got Clip Studio Paint yesterday, perfect timing!

Amazing coverage!!! I have the app, but wasn't aware of some of these features. Thanks Brad!!

Was recently thinking about trying Clip Studio! Great timing

Love this! I got to learn so many features I didn’t even know about would love to see more content like this! :)

Awesome video as always! Definitely want to see more "Top 10s" of your favorite art programs! ^^

Just wanted to say that I like this new series, love this channel, and recommend it to everyone.

Thank you so much Brad, I've been struggling along with medibang for the past year, this really helps

Great video! Loved your overview on Clip Studio Paint. Thank you!!

I'm sold. Thank you! I have never heard of the program before

Been a Clip Studio Paint user for 5 years and I'm never changing my art software again.

love your channel! thank you so much

I have been using Clip Studio for almost a year now and I didn't know most of that stuff! Thanks for this video! I'm going to be using that reference layer thing ALL THE TIME.

Thanks for making this video! I like that the way you explain stuff seems to be beginner friendly! While I do want to try Krita, I had been thinking about getting CSP EX.

I have this program and I've yet to really dig into it. That stuff about the frames and divisions blew my mindddddd. I'm sooo excited for my next project (if any, haha)!!

Thanks for the video! I'm trying to switch from doing illustration in Photoshop to actually using Clip Studio. It intimidates me at the moment, but there are sooo many wonderful features that I would love to learn and use. I hope I'll get a hang of it. Thank you for explaining a few of those, it's very helpful!

great video!! I also use clip studio for my illustrations lately, I find this program great for my work flow.

I’ve been using CSP for months and I didn’t know, like, ANY of this. Thank you!!

My go-to. Although I may pick up photoshop and see what that's like when my Huion 4k arrives... some day.

#11: It comes with a fully-featured vectorial speech bubble tool. And you can even create favorite lists of fonts so that only the installed fonts you actually need show up (I'd really like that in Photoshop to be honest), no more spending half an hour looking for that special font.

Do 10 things you love about Ms Paint

So i started watching you yesterday when i got my tab s6 lite, and i tried ALOT of apps, i have clip studio for pc (gifted by a friend) and so i was looking for something i didnt have to re buy as i didnt realize the monthly subscription was as cheap as it was, and nothing compared to clip studio, i ended up signing up for it again today using my own email discovered i could get a free 3 month trial and i jumped right in knew how to use it knew my way around it and it just felt so familiar and comfortable to use!

Also, vector layers. Such a cool feature.

Your video quality has upgraded so much since 2020 and you feel more mature

Also one thing I love about CSP is that its not a heavy software. It works smooth even with my laptop unplugged to the charger. Photoshop tends to lag and crash a lot especially if you are using it on a laptop without connecting the charger.

Thx for making this

Awesome! Thank You!

Do Affinity Designer next! I recently bought the software and I would love to know what's your top favourite of the app

Outstanding app and review!!!!

Do a krita one, I use krita for my art work.

I’ve only been using CSP since June 2021 but it’s quickly become my favourite drawing software 😂 I even caved and bought a separate license for CSP on my iPad

great video. can you do a similar video about autodesk skechbook too?

You are so inspiring!!

Started with OpenCanvas way back in the 2000's then moved on to Sai pain about 10 years ago. Just started using CSP now. It's really a great art program!

Honestly my favorite tools are the selection pen and close and fill tool. Or the adjust line width tool. Ya know what I love all of them.

Love your videos! (I bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 plus last month partly based on them!) :) Right away, downloaded the six month free trial of Clip Studio Paint. Been having a blast ever since! Surprised at how good it is even for "classical" artwork that I do, and is very "painterly". Thanks for all the work you do and the info you provide!

Dude! Had no idea on your second channel! It looks gold! Thanks for the heads up

It also has great touch screen support for surface pros

Man! CSP is awesome. I was *so* on board when it was announced, there wasn't even a board. -I bought a Japanese version, (which wasn't easy back when Google web page translate wasn't a thing), and had to run an insane fan-made English hack to make the menus readable. Good times! It's so nice to see how the program has grown and become very stable. It never crashes now! Pretty amazing. CSP rocks, -though it's still missing a couple of pretty basic selection features for some reason. Meanwhile, I'm still hoping that Paint Tool SAI 2 (with touch) comes into being; its brush engine is actually superior to the one in CSP...! (I know, eh?) But SAI is written and published by a single guy who is no longer piss & vinegar in his 20's, so I feel like it may never happen. Though.., he still updates the beta package every few months with little changes... I'm only waiting for one big update... It just needs a finger touch interface and it'll be a major contender for best drawing package. -If he wants it to be. It's small and efficient as hell; the whole package is only a couple of megabytes big, and it's as full-featured as any big name brand. If he ports it to Android and charges a couple bucks.., he'd be a very wealthy man. I'm keeping my hopes alive.

My dad got me a xpen innovator 16 for Christmas and got me the Ex version of the program, and it’s amazing! My absolute favorite things about it are the vector eraser (MY LORD AND SAVIOR.) the free 3D models, and how it has an animation feature.

Can you PLEASE go into the perspective tools of Clip Studio? It's so confusing to me!

One thing to mention is that Clip on PC or Mac is a one-time purchase, whereas the mobile versions charge a subscription fee. You can still draw in the mobile versions for free, but you'll be unable to save anything.

This is amazing

Great video!!!!

At the start of the video I was saying to myself that he must reference jazza. Then you mentioned it. Lol. Love it

You like that reference-paint bucket tool? WELL GOOD NEWS: You can do the same thing with the wand tool, so you can wand tool the same way you were paint bucket-ing but without randomly filling everything on a lower-ref-sensitivity setting. Yes, even click-n-drag.

I have been using CSP since 3 years. Never going back to another programs, its amazing.

Wow. I just discovered CSP. Now I have to learn how to use it. Tks for sharing.

I learned new things and I've been using this as my only software for several years now.

ive been using clip paint for YEARS. i recently bought myself the two device subscription so i can seamlessly work between my ipad and pc !!

Wtf? I had no idea csp was also a vector program! What a unit csp is.

Please do a 10 things I love about Krita video!

If you're filling in linework for example you don't need to set a reference layer. If you set the fill tool to refer to other layers it just refers to every visible layer

Hey Brad, great video and I love your energy! I just bought CS Ex today for a graphic novel I want to create and also comic strips and books I want to make for clients. I have been using Procreate on Ipad 12.9" and I wanted CS mostly for creating panels etc. My question is, should I install my license on the ipad and get a bluetooth keyboard? Or is there a way to make the ipad like a tablet to use with the desktop version? It seems I can only install on one device. Which would you do?

I like how you're using the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ to showcase the app. I'm really enjoying mine and hoping to utilize it with Clip Studio Paint.

I remember getting Manga Studio 4 from Comp USA when it was open back in 2007.

Thank you for this great introduction features about clip studio. This Android user is happy^^~

Love clip studio it was the program i used to make my webcomic Gobie Gou.

My favorite feature of CSP is liquify.

This is my program on mac but I got a samsung tablet recently but it's subscription based there 🤧

Omfg... 🤯 buying it RIGHT now

Can you do a drawing stream? I love your art, and I wanna see more, live too.

I love this program. To think I bought it as Manga Studio 5 on a whim, just looking for a cheap program that allowed me to easily make speech balloons and it ended up being my go-to software for all sorts of art. I've tried Photoshop, I've tried Corel Painter, I've tried a whole bunch, and they all have a bunch of flashy effects and all that, yet none have the versatility of this one, despite many of them being far more expensive. That said, there are a couple of things on this video I had no idea I could use and could have saved me an immense amount of work. I use CSP Pro and I really, genuinely thought those were features exclusively to the more expensive EX version. I can't believe I could have been using 3D models all along. I feel like an idiot.

Love it! Please make one talking about Procreate

Krita review plzz

I’m transferring over from drawing on an Ipad gen6 and procreate to a refurbished wacom cintiq and csp and the learning curve is hugeee, but I think it’ll be worth it.

congrats on half a million.

Yeah, we want more videos on this series😇😇😇

This is a great intro to the unique features of CSP. For making comics and even illustration art, it's second to none. However, now that I spend more time with my iPad Pro than with my Mac, the iOS version doesn't give me the same feelgood vibes as its desktop counterpart. Not for a lack of features - it's practically a copy of the desktop program- but maybe for the fact that the UI isn't optimized with tablets in mind. Or may just be my wimpy 11" screen size (looking forward to upgrade to the new supersexy 12.9" M1 iPad Pro). In that respect, Procreate hits the spot for me by leaps and bounds - its UI doesn't get in the way and for some of us that's a major point).

I have been using iPad 6th Gen. At times I get some freelance job that required 300dpi and size larger than A4. I use Procreate most of the time, and the larger the size the less layers I am able to have on Procreate. Sometimes I can't even create the large size that the client required in Procreate. I recently had the same problem with the sizes again for Procreate. And I tried using CSP on my iPad, it worked pretty good so far. At least for line art stage. Not sure how it will be when I need to do coloring. And I'm slowing getting used to using CSP. But this is huge for me, as I don't need to upgrade my iPad (yet). I wanted to use iPad / pencil as my main drawing device for work seems to be achievable with CSP ! It's cool that it has the swipe panel that has the shift, option, command, space. I don't even need a bluetooth keyboard. And I can even use the photoshop brushes here! WOW :D

I like the program too. Although getting it on tablet means a new license and monthly payments, where as desktop is just a one time payment. Having one means you still need the other, licenses don't transfer over.

Please make a tutorial series on Infinite painter (Android tab) right from beginner to pro 😁

The vector eraser is the main reason I want to try out CSP.

Thank you very much for this video man, I’ve never really considered getting clip studio paint but I really wanted to get away from krita because I just don’t like it much. Finally I can escape Krita!

Wondering how you like your tab s7 plus , I can't put it down and feel like every day practice is so much easier for me to pick up and go. Definitely got CSP going , plus concepts , and Sketchbook Pro as well as Krita , just love them all so much. Really enjoy your videos and your art ty for all you do and your input is always appreciated 😊

Finally I can make pro level artwork with huge files and up to 60 layers on my tab S4 with almost 0 problems...this app is the best if you're on android

Krita also has a colorize tool!

I tried out the colorize tool but accidently picked the wrong layer on my portrait drawing... and I believe I will now have nightmares about mounstrous figure it turned my drawing into 😅

What is the music that he uses in his outro’s. It’s really catchy lol.

Great video, very informative... just got clip studio and this helped out a lot as feeling my way around the program. I'll definitely be checking out all your other videos about clip, thanks

Please can you make a clip art studio paint tutorial for the galaxy tab

Please make a tutorial on clip studio i am dying to understand the software and btw the ex version is what I am learning

I love CSP - I didn't realize how great the colorize was, haven't even tried that yet. There's a learning curve to its UI , it may look like PS. but it's not. My only issue is that the 3d figures are not as easy to manpulate as dedicated 3d programmes I constantly end up with hands through bodies etc., which never happens when I use dedicated 3d software.

Can you please review paintstorm studio lite for ipad

Hey Brad! Did You Try out the “Realistic Paint App”? Can you do a review about that one please? Many thanks and always love to watch your videos 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

The way you demonstrated, the fill bucket will actually reference ALL other layers, not just the reference layer. If you want to reference just the reference layer, you have to go into the tool properties and under "refer multiple layers," select "reference layer"

Hi Brad, I am interested what Drawing Hardware did you use on this video? Thank you

Hi Brad, do you have your own portfolio website? I want to check it out :)

Hey Brad, which online course do you recommend to learn CSP for Comic Books (including frameborders)?
