Note- I was not paid by CSP to make this video, and I only just learned about their pricing structure changes. I genuinely like the program, and hope they don’t up the price, as I was planning to switch.

That's EXACTLY the kind of tutorial I needed.

I've been drawing for years with a heavy lineart. I did enjoy it at first, but as I grew older, I realize what I wanted to do was fantasy illustration, mainly character. Getting into D&D maaaay have helped.
I tried, but fail miserably. Trying to change your artstyle is really challenging. Your video really gave me the basic I needed to start this journey. Thank you so much !!

Reminder no one forces you to buy CSP 2.0, just stick to 1.0 and wait for 3.0, it's an excellent software for 25 bucks

I had bought clip studio and a drawing tablet and felt way out of my depth on where to even begin. This quick tutorial is an amazing starting place. Thank you so much!

I'd recommend duplicating the symmetry layer and clearing it so the ruler stays in the same place and you wont have things slightly off.

Two and a half years. Two and a half years, I've been using CSP. And it's only now, due to this video, that I finally learnt why my attempts to blur the edges of some of my shapes wasn't working; I'm attempting to blur the edge into the transparency of the layer. The layers underneath may have had coloured shapes on them, but not the layer I was working on. Something that should have occurred to me long ago, but never did.

I am not feeling very smart at the moment! Hehe!

Amazing Just switched from photoshop to CSP recently. Didn't expect this. Always nice to see my favorite Youtube artist covers a lot of ground. Super helpful Trent. Looking forward to the Twilight Monk game. Hope production in going well!

26:06 Was something Ive always wondered! Saw other artist do it but never knew how!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!😁

I'm learning how to illustrate just to add the pictures as expressions to the realistic books that I've already written within the last twenty years, to have them published with pictures after another ten to twenty years. So you and your lessons are one of my very starting points not in intense writing, but in intense illustrating. They can shorten and easen my way through the beginner's difficulties with that kind of software and painting a little bit...the stories and thoughts I got to tell are heavy enough...thank you!

[ErinBurkeRomeomoon]

I've been using CSP off and on for years now. However, I try to catch beginners tutorials such as yours incase maybe I've missed something basic that could make things easier. Great job!

[MagnusGuard]

i jumped into this program and drawing with no prior experience and this video helped me out alot, my drawings suck for now but with the info you put out on this video its helped me improve a bit.

[annalulz]

I'm excited to see you explore CSP in your art, it's such a great program! I hope there's many csp tutorials in the future 👍🏻

I've had my Kanva 13 for a year and hardly used it. But now I have free time I am learning to draw so I can make my logo designs much better. Thank you for this.

[TamilVolk]

Been making CSP tutorials for a while and I am glad more and more artists get into it as the time goes on. It's really a nice starter pack for any level artist.

[bgduckpnder]

Love the message at the end. "Go back to what made it fun for you" Will have to remember that!!

[renatolins]

CSP is truly an amazing tool, in my opinion, the best art program for artists nowadays. The 'industry' should stop using expensive (and often crashy programs) and incentive the usage of cheap, high-quality software such as CSP for 2D (and even Blender for 3D). Nice video, thanks!

[shadoedear]

Thanks for teaching me new things I've been using this for like a year and a half and stumbing through and self teaching so this helps a lot 😊

[snakefish]

Hey Mr. Kaniuga I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this video, Procreate is easy to pick up to figure out so I appreciate your Tutorial for the more complex CSP😊

[AmeJouten]

Thanks this is some great info! I've had Clip Studio for a little bit and this is going to help as i'm forcing myself into a 30 day learn to draw challenge, so i can hopefully breech the starting phase of drawing so i can eventually mesh it with what I know in Blender

Tick the little box next to the eyeball on the layer that the symmetry tool is on, and you can affect the layers above. I like to do different for differ rulers, so I put a horizontal and vertical on different layers, and just click the little box next to the eyeball to the layer I need active.
