Clip Studio Paint Tutorial 🎓 Master the Fill Tool (Colour faster and better)

OMG HI GUYS 👀💦 It's been such a LOOOONG time since my last video! I'm so excited to start uploading again. I really, really hope you enjoy it. There's lots more coming in the future!

🦩 No flamingos were harmed during the recording or post-production of this video 😬

In this video, I'll guide you through the Fill Tool and its essential properties in Clip Studio Paint. This is not a sponsored video - I've made a personal decision to change from Photoshop to Clip Studio Paint, so my software in the future will be that. Although I always aim to mostly do art videos that you can watch regardless of your software.

I had absolutely no idea the fill tool in CSP was so good!! This is such a helpful tutorial, thanks Nadia!! 💖

[tearstoneactual]

One of the best Clip Studio tutorials I've ever seen and explains the fill tool so much better than Iv'e heard. I've been using it for a long time, but this will help immensely. I learned a bunch of new, useful stuff. Thank you, Nadia.

Clip studio should've paid you for this it was so extensive and well explained thank you so much !

[clockworkNate]

Watching your video is like working a giant field with just your hands and then looking over your shoulder and suddenly seeing actual farm machinery. Not even joking this will all save me many hours of work and I wish I looked this up sooner. Thank you so much! Got a sub from me!

And here I was, using CSP for years (I came from a PS background originally), using the selection tool as a means of blocking, then having to go back, fix my selection, then use the fill tool, and then to create ANOTHER selection for ANOTHER area meant for ANOTHER block of color--as you can see this was my process for awhile before I could find a solid tutorial that could teach me how to color in CSP in the most efficient way possible. Thank you a million times. This has been a gamechanger for me.

I’ve used CSP for about 5 years now and I can’t believe how much my mind was just blown all because it never occurred to me to look at fill tool properties.

Another tip when using the fill bucket tool: Hold down and drag your cursor across your line art and it will fill all the areas you drag to. Much easier than clicking 10 times on each enclosed area.

Additionally, similar to the "connected pixels only" part at 16:51, but with even more control: Say you only want to change half of your blue areas to red. Start your cursor in a blue area, hold and drag the fill tool over those blue areas and it will change them to red. CSP will intelligently know you only want to change that blue hue and will ignore all other colors as you drag your cursor around the page.

Amazing guide! I had no idea how people were coloring so efficiently in this program (I was basically doing it by hand), this is incredible and makes me more excited to really improve my drawing. Thank you so much for the guide!

[ZooTycoonLord]

Ive been using CSP for 3 and a half years now and I absolutely love it. Much better than Photoshop, personally.

[studiobrushpen]

Great tips! I was so happy when I learned ‘area scaling’. And yes- the reference layers. Just what we needed!
Thanks so much for your videos- you inspired me to start my own drawing channel! 😊

[lostfoundstudios]

This literally just cut my coloring time in half! I feel like I should send you a free book when I print next month! Thankyou!!!!

[Styxintheriver]

Every program uses the fill tool differently and ive used four. Clip Studio is my newest and you have rescued me from SO much hassle thank y o u

[MrNiskratus]

absolutely amazing, I've been using Clip Studio for years (started back when it was Manga Studio), but i was always to scared to fiddle with these tools because i never had an explicit example of how they worked.
Thank you, this is going to change my work flow so much. 🤩

I've just started learning to draw and got myself Clip studio Paint yesterday. This tutorial was super helpful so thank you very much!! I always love when a tutorial explains why things do what they do instead of just showing you which buttons to press etc without understanding any of it.

[Alfos]

Wow! I don't think I've ever sat through a more informative, smooth flowing tutorial dedicated to the usage of a single tool!

Seriously those were incredible if not game-changing tips, even for my amature works! Thanks a bunch! 😄👍

[kali]

I didn't know that I could do all of that! All this time suffering using the brush tool. And look at this tutorial, just some clicks and bam! Thank you so muucchhh!!!

[silvarafafeitosa]

I already knew most of this stuff but it was so worth watching it for that one little thing I didn't know I could do. Great video!

[senipie]

THAT LAST TIP WAS SO GOOD!!! no more having to constantly have my flats in separate layers thank you thank you so much for this very informative video!

[mjpete]

I am truly amazed that you are giving superior instruction in a free video! I have paid for poorer instruction! I remember when Photoshop added selection adjustments to their selection tools, and you show even more options for the fill tool! I have not even opened Photoshop in months, nor any art programs on my computer! I guess that is the reason why my viewing is a bit tardy from your posting this video. I am glad that you are doing well and posting again. I look forward to watching more of your superior art content! Excellent instruction for all of your viewers! Please take care, be safe and have yourself a lovely day!

Thank you so much for this kind of information. It’s makes it a lot easier for me to finish my artwork/animation twice as fast now.
