Trying CLIP STUDIO PAINT for the First Time! - First Impressions

Clip Studio Paint reached out for me to try their digital art app! This is my first time painting in CSP and here are some of my first impressions!

* Clip Studio Paint is a one time payment for desktop versions, the mobile version and the iPad version are subscriptions(starting from $4.49/month for PRO). They also offer multi-device plans that allow users to use a combination of devices (PC + ipad, etc.) *

Sam: ok, it's been an hour and 30 minutes(and he's already created a masterpiece
Me: its been 30-45 minutes and my sketch is still unbearable(cries in a corner)

i use clip studio paint too, and i was so excited to see this video! i absolutely adore your style and painting process, and you have been one of the biggest inspirations to me, and your channel is one of my favorites. your videos encouraged me to get serious about digital art. i came from amanda’s video a few months ago, and i’m so glad i did! thank you so much! <3

“It’s just a lot more convenient than having to lasso and then repaint- oops- having to la- *BLEEP*” 😭

Damnn clip studio is hustling! CSP is taking over! Adobe is shaking!

This is cool, I wanna see more pro artists use them. I think CSP is very underrated and more people should be talking about their amazing tools.

I just got the EX version and my god... I love it so much

I love clip studio! monthly payment sucks for me so I really like that you can just pay for it once and you'll have it forever! plus the community that makes stuff like brushes and palettes is really great!

7:38 - They have liquify now, feels kinda janky (idk if its me with no config and drawing in 4k canvas) but help a ton, its a pretty good program and I really love how smooth and good the brushes feels. The mixing colors make me really like it a lot as well.

You have been my favorite artist on instagram for a while now! I'm so happy I found your youtube! You inspire me so much, your style is like nothing I've ever seen, your mood, the atmosphere. I feel like I'm looking at photos to another world every time I see them. Thank you for your videos!

wow as a user of clip studio paint it was mesmerizing to watch you paint! i was having difficulty with blending skin tones and watching you blend with the gouache blender and airbrush taught me lots!

"we're doing cartwheels- look at that, that's cool. wow. "

I bought CSP EX while it was on sale and haven’t regretted it for a moment. As someone who has used Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop before, CSP would be my top pick. Super happy that my favourite artist has given it a shot!

I love how he doesnt say too many negative things about clip studio art so it wont offend anyone, and including that, he used only the brushes that you get when you first start using clip studio, so this also shows people that you can create art with just the tools given without changing them :)

On days when I don't feel like drawing, seeing ur art makes me want to draw again.
It really inspires me and give me ideas. Love ur work and keep up the good work. 👍

Is also worth knowing that at the top right (what looks like a circle with an arrowline through it) is a pallet where you can drag your most used brushes and shortcuts. You can make as many pallets as you like. Stops you having to switch between pen/pencil/airbrush etc all the time.

CSP is the best <3 I'm so glad you liked it :)
I also use mesh transform, not only lasso, to correct the painting :) But it would be nice if CSP added the liquify tool - they just added the colour jitter and it was what I was waiting for since I started using it almost 5 years ago

So far, the closest thing CSP has to PS's lasso tool is mesh transformation, but you still need to fill it in unfortunately. Other than that, it's a pretty great program with a good brush engine.
Also if you're a PS user and is worried about not being able to use your brushes anymore, since the December update, you can now import your PS brushes! And yeah, they have a sale at least 2-3 times a year.
Without a sale, PRO is 50$ and EX is 200$ iirc. All sales are half off. The only difference between PRO and EX is the comic publishing tools and the unlimited frames you get for animation. If you're just there for drawing, the PRO will probably be just fine.
