Right above it there are little tabs, and by clicking them you can change what type of color wheel/palette you're using. The color palette, which is probable the MOST IMPORTANT part of any art program, is also customizable. It's a little confusing at first, because I remember when I started I wasn't sure what everything did, so I didn't know if I wanted to see it or not, but honestly, everything can be checked again once you uncheck it, so if it's in your way and you don't know what it is, just get rid of it for now. If you go to the 'window' tab, you can check and uncheck everything you want to be visible. Something else I should mention is that Clip Studio is VERY customizable. They also have some color palettes, which is an AWESOME help when starting out digital art. The art style on Pixiv is, being a Japanese website, more anime/manga like, but of course almost all of the tutorials can be used for other styles as well.
They have regular art tutorials and ones specifically for coloring digitally, and they helped me a lot with coloring XD You can pretty much tell what's going on anyway.
Pixiv Spotlight itself is translated into English, but a lot of the tutorials are in Japanese oddly enough, this doesn't really matter. Something that really helped me out when I first started digital art was the tutorials on Pixiv Spotlight - a subsection of Pixiv, a Japanese art site, kinda like their DeviantArt. I don't know much about Photoshop, but I know a lot of people use that for art, so maybe you should try and use that as well (although like I said, I know nothing about it, so it may be harder than Clip Studio/Manga Studio). it's a great program! XDĪlso, is this your first time drawing digitally? Or have you used other digital programs before this? Because if you have only done traditional art before this, I can give you some links for help specifically with digital art ^^ sometimes lines can come out blocky then, but most of the way.Īnd once you learn the basics, there's tons of awesome stuff like overlays, snap-to-grid, animation.
MANGA STUDIO 5 TUTORIALS HOW TO
Celsys, the company that owns Clip Studio, also has a Youtube, with beginner videos like this oneĪnd when I had trouble trying to figure out how to do a particular thing, I would just search youtube for a quick tutorial (example: searching youtube for 'how to copy and paste in clip studio' gets me this)Īnd also, just like Greg says above, always turn up the stabilizers. When I first started with it, I read the tutorials on the Official Clip Studio Website. I also have Sai but I almost never use it because Clip Studio can just do so much more, in my opinion. Learn each new little thing at a time and put it into practice before moving onto the next thing you're interested in learning about.Īw man, I love Clip Studio so much like you have no idea XD It's an amazing program, and once you get used to it, I've found it's hard to use anything else. Don't try to absorb everything at once, and then apply it.
Online tutorials on youtube are probably your best bet for learning most of your info. Layering, text and word bubbles, gradients, using the rectangle and line tools for panelling, and paint types (like oil paints and such for backgrounds) are also very important standard things to educate yourself on, if you're not familiar with them. By the time you're done, keep a Clip file of your image in case you need to edit it later, and make a png or jpeg file for posting it online. It's better than starting all the way over. And always keep multiple save files of each project you work on, just in case you screw up somewhere along the way. Also, don't forget to start your artwork on higher resolutions like 300 dpi, and then when you're finished your artwork/page, go into the Edit Bar, and then Change Image Resolution, to scale your dpi down to 72 dpi for posting online (keep it at 300 or so if you want to print it), as well as shrink the image's width to 940 pixels or lower to fit Tapastic's dimensions. I highly recommend trying this as one of the first things you do, as it can be really discouraging to be making these wobbly, choppy lines when you first start out. The rightmost block will fully stabilize your strokes, which is insanely helpful for smoothing out your line work and inking. When using a pen/pencil/brush type (I'm a big fan of the G Pen, for example), you'll see in the menu provided with it that there's a Stabilization option with 5 blocks in it. The most important tool I learned about in the beginning is the Pen Stabilizer, if you're not familiar with that. I've been using it for a month and there's still so much that I don't know about. There's so much to learn about Clip Studio Paint (Manga Studio), that it's staggering.
