And it all exists because of mathematics and programming. It's amazing how much of our world is shaped by math.

One thing he doesn't tell you about this is that in order to make the most of the vector line tool, you need to have a strong understanding of economy of line; your strokes need to be quick, strong, and decisive, you can't carefully drag the pen to make a clean line or chicken scratch the line in order to create the illusion of cleanliness. Otherwise, when you try to control the nodes, you get these leftover weird artifacts that kinda interfere with manipulating the paths. You'll spend a bit of time trying to get rid of them and then having to manipulate the leftovers into the lines you envisioned. Also, switching to vector smoothens out practically any textured brush or pen, so if you're looking for more organic looking strokes, I advise against using those in a vector layer; use only a G pen or Turnip.

YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER! I've been using clip studio and had NO idea vectors can do so much to keep your images clean. I totally appreciate this video.

I... have found my savior for drawing hair *sobs

Been using CSP for a few years now... can't believe I never bothered to use this amazing layer! I have been erasing all my individual strands of hair manually, one by one!!! Glad I stopped working to watch this tutorial. And now, back to work...

I had been planning a long, exhaustive (to me especially, but also for anyone foolish enough to watch it) video extolling the virtues of Vector Layers in Clip Studio and you come along and describe it all brilliantly in about a tenth of the time. I use them even at the sketch stage because the erasing is so quick! Well done, sir. Now I can return to watching cat videos with a clear conscience.

I just ran across your channel and love your animations. Finding this video... I'm embarrassed to say how long I've been using CSP and just ignored its vector support. Wow. So much time would have been saved had I learned to use it. Thank you!

Woah! That's awesome, other artist online told me not to use vectors but this looks really useful. Thanks man!

Your a life saver. Never knew it had those tools. I own the program for 2 months now and haven't scratch the surface of it.

I started using clip studio this year, and started with vector line today.... this is amazing!!! linework is so fast now.

I AM BLOWN AWAY! I never knew about vector layers. Thank you, this was a great help👍

HOLY HECK THIS JUST BLEW MY MIND OMGHF this makes things so much easier omg thank you so much

Everything you draw is... THICC

You just opened up a whole new world of possibilities that I did not know about thank you!

OMG I've been adjusting vector hairs with hard eraser and obj select. Vector eraser will make things much easier! Thanks!

Not to be dramatic or anything, but this video just changed my life.

I’ve been trying to figure this stuff out for ages now, thank you!

This makes things so much easier!

thanks for the direct and straight forward tutorial!! Subscribed!

This is blowing my mind!!! I have got to start using this in my art haha

Thanks for making this video. It really helped me out 😎👍

Man that nailed it my question. Thank you for sharing this technique 🙌🏾🧘🏻‍♂️

That's nice I already use vector layers but had no idea how to use reference layers. Tyvm.

This was a god send, thanks!

Straight forward, thank you the help 🙏

Ive been using CSP for a year! and I don't know this?!?!? OMG Thank you so much. I give you, my subscribe and hell imma click the notifying bell too ^^

I need this program so incredibly desperately jesus christ

i didnt understand any of the ref layer part but great explanation on vector layers!!

0:32 I'm watching this vid when procrastinating on a subject on mathematical splines... and now I feel caught

thank uu !! also, i love your voice :o

Thanks a lot! Just discovered these vectors a few days ago, this is... too convenient ._.

Thank you so much!

FINALLY!!!!!

Whenever I use vector layer the line art shows all the points ( where you can stretch it etc ) but how you get rid of it

Do the vector layers cause more lag? I know that's the case with illustrator

Thank you so much!!!!! Such a neat explanation!!!! And a background music too!!! :D Can I ask a name?)))))))

the "don't draw over reference line" WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! Is there any way to stop it from painting the outside if you go over the line? It's kinda annoying. Also I can't find the option "stop filling at center line of vector" in pen settings, was it renamed?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all of my issues solved with one thing, Thank you, I didn't know it existed ;-;

So with vector layers and when there are different sections of hair you can all color that in slap? That's good! 💞

Unfortunately, with recent updates in Pro/EX, we no longer have 'Stop filling at center line of vector.' And hey, if I'm wrong, someone please kindly correct me. I might be overlooking it.

now i can do clean animation lines with out extra effort

I have a problem... I did the prefrence fill part at 3:05 but then my layer had a knife on the layer and I can`t click on it :(

I can’t find this tool on IPad.Can anyone tell me, where is it?’ (Please)

Any time i try to use the reference layer with my fill tool it turns into a red circle with a slash through it. please help!

Have you tried out csp's animation tools? I am currently using flash mx 7 and is thinking about upgrading my tools. I am really interested in tv paint but its crazy expensibe. Is csp a good cheaper alternative to the industry standard tools?

i cant find the reference fill on my fill tool

i've been using rastor instead of vector for so long now..... so many of my problems would have been solved if i found this earlier... i'm going to be a vector drawing fool.

Can you explain to me, why i can't fille colour ? I use the tool but it show me a forbidden icon.... Im on vector layer

Can you do a tutorial on where most of the major things are located. Cause I wanted to use a transparent layer, to Draw over the sketch and I can't find it😥

this is a religion I can follow

What's your brush setting to achieve a thicker middle line strength? I tried adjusting it through Brush Size Dynamics setting and setting Min value to 1, but it's not getting a similar effect shown in your video?

i have a problem i cant find the feature where it fills up to the middle of the line

Can i color the vector lineart, if so how? Ik i can change the color of whole lineart but what if I want to color one line? Ik that in raster layer I can lock transparent pixels and color the lineart but I cant use that option on vector, why?

im only using illustrator... mostly for sign and logo work... but i think drawing is hard in illustrator.. i didnt really tried photoshop out yet, can i also use vector layers in photoshop? from what ive heard csp is better for beginners?

Can I use it with animation

Does this work for krita? How do you edit the brush? What brush do you even use?

They recently updated the program (it's now called Clip Studio Paint Pro) and for the life of me I don't know how to fill in colour when doing vector work. I can't see the the 'stop filling at center line of vector'. Help?!

Are these costume brushes or are these on paint pro already?

With both direction, and magnitude! ..get it?

Does anyone know the name of the song??

you do art streams right? where could i go to watch them when you do one, id love to watch live.

Stocking? :v

This is confusing I’m trying to fill in a part but instead it fills in the whole thing . What do I do ?? It doesn’t seem to work at all

you can export as vector to opentoonz I think

I just installed Clip studio and everytime i ADD a new lager i cant draw on it...whyyyyy?qwq

My birthday in May 27th

Which version of clip studio do you use? I can't seem to find reference fill.

I use inkscape (cos its free) but this program looks good

I dont have those options under my fill bucket, what do I do?

@zedrin New sub here :), I had a question about Vector layers and im hoping you can help :). Ok so I'm use to using raster layers. I will combine them if the line art works with new layers and there's little to no problem. Though the moment I tried to do the same with Vector layers it basically had smudges and smears on the new layer. Why is that? And is there a way to combine Vector layers that won't result in a similar outcome ?

How can I use the fill tool on my vector layers?

Something called the "Reference fill" does not exist for me.. and none of the other fill tools have the settings he showed

What brush are you using?

can u use these in animation?

Idk why but all my lineart on CSP looks absolutely ugly and lumpy and there isn't much improvement when i use the line editing

Is this a tutorial? I don't feel taught, and i am surr the problem is not with me 😔😔

0:47 not true. File->Export Vector

sucks how the pro version is called pro when your limited to only 24 frames when animating , like what am i supposed to make with 1 sec animation looool XDDD

You helped Marx do 9/11

What he also does not tell you is that vector art in Clip Studio can't be exported to other programs that use or import vector files -- i.e. Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, etc. Clip's vector is proprietary and specific only to Clip Studio and, at the time of this comment posting, there is no way to export your vector art as SVG, AI, or EPS files.

Very helpful my man but your talking way to fast kinda hard to follow what your talking about. Non the less, thanks for the help

You sounded like so frustrated and angry at us for not knowing about vector layers or something throughout the whole video lmao Just wanted to point that out you sounded very rough about it... idk
