REVIEW ✦ CLIP STUDIO PAINT

Hello everyone! A while back, I was contacted by CSP to create a review for the application. I spent a lot of time trying to get to know the program and writing this review up, so I hope you will find it at least a little bit helpful!

Please note that the terms of this review were finalized and the review itself filmed over several months, all before Celsys's most recent announcement. This is a review of the product as-is, and I encourage you to use your own judgment regarding CSP and its future development.

my parents promised me a purchase of csp EX a little while back, and it seems like a great program so i still plan to get it. it’s a shame they’ve decided to go subscription-only, especially given the known hatred toward adobe for that same reason. i know a lot of artists feel betrayed due to the announcement, and i don’t blame them.

I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW MY BRUSH ASSET AT 1:31 (the second one: flat paint and blend brush)

I live and die by CSP and I'm so glad you were able to use it and enjoy.

Also I didn't know you had a youtube! Awesome 💖

I’ve used Clip for years now and I’m always so excited when someone tries it out!!! Also, is the lineart brush you use one that you downloaded? Because the texture of it combined with the soft coloring in your work is GORGEOUS and I feel so inspired rn!!!

as a paint tool sai user; it was (and still is) insanely hard for me to get used to this program, everything is so different and drawing in the program is something i'm still learning how to do, but i do like it!

[usagihika]

anyone else loving his art style so much?? heartmush your art is so amazing 😭

Hello~ i understand that this video was composed in a couple of months but .. it would be ideal to mention that clip studio paint is moving towards people paying for updates in 2023

It's so sad that csp will become a subscription service soon. That was the one thing that made it better than Photoshop.

theres an asset in the store that is completely free and it colors in your lines for you, no blobs needed, just select the asset in the lasso area, set the line art to a reference layer, make a layer under the line art, then use it wear you want to color it in. i’m not good at explaining it, but you might be able to find it in a Kooleen art tip video.

its really interesting seeing the perspective of an inspirational artist (for me) reviewing a program i already use. ive been using it for way over a year now but still found this video so interesting :)

God dang it, I didn’t even want to watch a review of csp..BUT GOD DAMN IT THAT THUMBNAIL LURED ME IN

[kruggerand]

When I first started CSP it was wild very confusing to me when it came to customizing my work space and all the small things hidden away in little off tabs was wild I loved it yes but it was a definite learning curve since it was my first purchased program

[amirakynocyo]

just a great review! I myself use clip studio and I want to note that you can load brushes from Photoshop into clip studio, it's very convenient!!!

I literally wanted to get CSP and while I was trying out the trial version, the bombshell of the subscription service dropped. So if I decide to get CSP, it's definitely only gonna be when 2.0 comes out, because the 60$ for 1.0 would be a total waste. But it's really a **** move to have people pay for version 2.0 AND make them get a monthly subscription for the 2.x updates.

Heartmush I always love watching your speedpaints! Your process is so fun to see progress as the drawing gets more and more finished -

About clip studio paint, my experience with it was definitely overwhelming as it was the FIRST drawing program I had ever tried. (It came with the wacom tablet i got) unfortunately i cannot go back to it now that im more experienced, but I definitely get what you mean about all those buttons and having no idea what they mean

[thecoolerspringtrap]

Your art is always such a treat to the eye 🥰🥰🥰🥹

[wadalapichu]

i didnt knew that u could change the layout like photoshop, thank you for showing this!:)

[jhessicacomjh]

I've been using Photoshop for years and I'm always confused when opening CSP. However, your experience motivated me to try again! Great video =)

[lawsdraws]

Weeew, I am a CSP noob, and there's a lot going on! You make it look easy!

[milkknrice]

When the moth strated twitching I instantly got goosebumps! I love it 😩

[yamchayaku]

I used Photoshop for decades. Stopped using it because overall expense is too much. I hate subscription plans for work applications. Clip Studio Paint gives you a much bigger bang for your buck.

We need more companies rivaling Adobe because they gouge the crap out of their products.
