You are so amazing for putting all this information out for free honestly I would expect these to be paid classes, if you ever have time would you consider doing a tutorial for making WEBTOONs and doing lettering on procreate? I don’t have access to clip studio so that would be super helpful.

I think lettering in Procreate will be very tough. However, there is a free program called Medibang that I believe is available on iOs that will be very similar to Clip Studio. You may want to check that out in the meantime. Good luck.

@walterostlie Жыл бұрын

A lot will depend on the brush you're using. Just adjust your brush size to the thickness you prefer for your art. I used a slightly custom brush based on ClipStudio's Technical pen. I tend to use a thin line, some people like thicker lines. All personal preference. Hope that helps.

@walterostlie 3 жыл бұрын

I feel like I tried comic draw once...maybe on the iPad? I only tried for a second though, was a little confused. What do you like about it?

@EchoJ 3 жыл бұрын

The lettering engine allows the script to be in the same comic document as your pencils and inks. You can script out regular dialogue, sound effects, captions, etc, and literally drag and drop from the script to the panels. You can also manipulate the lettering to create pretty impressive titles. I remember one of your earlier lettering videos where you were trying to get the spacing close enough together so that the letters slightly merged into each other but it wasn’t working like you wanted (I believe it was Clip Studio). In Comic Draw, it’s pretty easy to get that effect. If you do still have it on the iPad, try it again for lettering. I don’t think I’ll use it for layouts, inking, or coloring, but I’m planning to do all lettering in Comic Draw because I love the way it works and all the things you can do with lettering in that program. Edit: And yes, I felt the same way about Comic Draw the first time I used it years ago and left it alone. Just recently came back to it and started playing around in it to see if I could do my webcomic in it; that’s when I found out how much I prefer the lettering/scripting part.

HI WALTER! I love your videos and I subscribed. I have a question regarding Clip Studio Paint. Do you think you can make a tutorial on how to fix (Paint) such as if it decides not to open. For example, I click on paint and it doesn't open or load in order for me to create a new canvas. I was in the process of starting a webtoon, yet I can't even open it TT. I cleared my disc space and it still decides not to open. I even purchased it so I feel like my money is going to waste since I cannot use Paint. It has been truly stressful. If you understand my issue I would appreciate it if you can try to solve it, if not I understand that you're busy >

If you get them from blambot.com you should get a zip file. In that case, you should be able to double click to open it in both windows and mac. If you're downloading from someplace else and getting a winrar file, then you'll prolly need a special app. Once you open the zip file, highlight the files, copy them, paste them into a different folder on your storage device. Then install the font. For windows you just right click them and click install font, but they have to be out of the zip file to install them. You can get 7-Zip for rar files.
