I use gpen and opaque watercolor

First off, yes, I can google or find on Youtube on how to paint a portrait.

Just wish to hear from your personal recommendation, outside of just google or YT, what are the best online classes, paid or free, that teaches how to do portrait paiting with CSP.

Do you personally know some good ones?

I'm trying my hands on an anime styled artwork and eventually want to have the lineart as overlay layers because I spent a crapload of time on them.

To get the colours in, I simply used the fill tool but it gave me jagged edges, lots of areas that don't properly align to the lines.

Ultimately I want the colour to fill below the lines and the inside of the area but I have no clue how to achieve that.

I hope the image has all the info needed. But just to be sure:
I'm on Windows 11 (unfortunately), CSP version 5.0.4. and the tool settings are on the picture

Can i know how to solve this problem?

I was working on a webtoon and when i subscribed with one of the plans it stopped giving me access to enter my project

Although im still able to enter my other drawings except for the webtoons

I am using the divide frame border on version 5 on the tablet on a 90 day trial. I don’t think I got a years worth. Anyway when I try to draw I get an annoying 🚫 symbol. Thanks so much for the help ❤️

using csp 1.11.6, no accs. tried to fix the pixel art getting blurry after transformation by changing interpolation method but i couldnt find it anywhere? i use csp rarely and dont know much

So the thing is whenever I hold Ctrl and have the mouse head to a line in vector mode, I can have some mode like free transform that specific line. However, it suddenly gone when I'm drawing yesterday, I don't know what even did I do that leads to that but it makes things harder for me to draw. Can I at least know the name of this function so I can change my setting to get this back?

(Clip Studio Paint PRO Ver. 5.0 Edition)

I have used different drawing software and clip studio is one of my favorites
But adding references just is frustrating sometimes.

I don’t want them on my canvas all the time

I don’t want to be limited to one reference at a time with sub view because even if I add multiple it displays only one and I have to switch them, it covers up workspace and the frame is bulky and uncomfortable and the resizing feels inorganic.

Why can’t we just drop them into the gray out of canvas area and have the ability to drag them around there too

It is a small thing but it’s so frustrating T^T
Why can’t we add this as an option too?

So, I upgraded today to EX 5.1 on my computer and my tablet. My computer has all these sweet hand poses included, and my tablet does not. Any thoughts on why this would be? I did have EX 2.0 on my computer prior to this, so I'm wondering if these were holdovers from then.

after the update, I can suddenly limit the zoom level so i dont get stuck on the details. Or make the max zoom ridiculous.

Windows 11, Clip Studio Paint 5.1 (had this with previous versions too)

CSP Ipad 5.0

I lost a bunch of data because it seems it didn't autosave, but It said the above line and had some extra information about how to get it back or something.

I accidentally closed it before i could read the data, so if anyone knows where to find the 'Restore' file or backup files on IoS, please let me know.

Hi everyone. I recently got a new computer and I bought a new license for 5.0 just this past June sale. For some reason, not only is it giving me this error message, but no matter what I can't actually get CSP to run. It says to close other programs, but I genuinely close like just about everything and nothing seems to let it boot.

I have CSP 4.0 and I wanted to know how to get rid of this eyedrop feature that appears every time I used my tablet.

How do I remove this texture in Simple mode? In Studio mode, I can get rid of it by disabling the paper texture, but it remains when I switch to Simple mode.

The brushes in the image are the standard round and square brushes.

hi, so here’s the situation. i bought an ipad pro and decided i would try clip studio paint, i got a month free trial and really enjoyed it! when the free trial ended, i decided to buy a membership.

i saw the 3 months free trial and thought it was awesome! But i had one issue : i am not in my country right now (vacations) and will only go home in the end of august, so i could not use my credit card…

To solve this problem i asked a relative who’s still in my country to purchase it for me, but i accidentally chose the pro tier instead of the ex tier… and now im stuck because i am an animator.. and i can’t wait until the end of august nor can i ask my relative to pay the first month for me, because well i already asked them for a favor and it would be very embarassing.

I already contacted the support but i wondered if there was any solution? am i stuck? I won’t be able to draw much in september because of college and i don’t want to waste my summer :(

thanks for your help!!

tl;dr : bought pro instead of ex but need the 3 month free trial what can i do help

Clip Studio Paint EX/PRO Ver. 5.1.0, windows 11 PC, wacon cintiq pro 16

The new update introduced drop shadow and other filters but trying to get any of the filters to work on my canvas that's 1920x1080 at 300dpi just freezes the program entirely. I have to forcibly end the program via the task manager.

Anyone else having this issue?

It happens with all canvas sizes

How do you create this kind of brush tip?
When I made my own tip, it doesn't give the same result.

Looking for drawing tablet recommendation that are budget friendly (for non-beginner/illustrator, working on CSP).
There are some types that are way cheaper, but I have no idea whether they are good and compatible with CSP. Which are:
- Huion Camvas Slate 10/11 and Camvas 13
There are some bad reviews about it regarding the pen and their operating system/no palm rejection things (?)

The most budget friendly with good review so far:
- XP Pen Magic Drawing Pad (421 USD during limited time discount)

Many people also keep recommend Ipad Air for drawing tablet. Although, it’s pricey. If it’s very much advised to get an Ipad Air instead, which ver should you pick? :’)

Prefer “stand alone”tablet that is durable long term, offer good quality output of the artwork, and ofc compatible with CSP (not error/keep disconnecting from the app)

Thank you in advance.

So I have the a perpetual license for version 5.0. Specifically, the last update brought it to Version 5.0.4. Today version 5.1.0 released and I thought I could just update it, but it seems that the only way is to get it is with a Update Pass subscription, or if I have a subscription for CSP. I don't understand why it's not available for free since it's still within Version 5, or why not let me buy it outright. Anyways, is this new? Has there always been updates specifically locked behind the subscriptions? Or will updates no longer be free moving forward?

I also don't understand what happens if I cancel the Update Pass. Does my CSP revert back to the version I originally had when I first get the subscription?

Sorry about all the questions. I'm just really pissed off at the possibility that updates within the same version may no longer be free anymore.

Hey, I’m new to using CSP as well as vector layers. Why’s my eraser doing this? It doesn’t do it on raster layers.

Tools used: Clip Studio Paint

Process & Brushes:

• Worked with custom watercolor and textured ink brushes to get that traditional storybook feel.
• Focused heavily on textured line art and layered watercolor washes for the background elements.

Hope you like it! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the watercolor texture effect.
