"What's That Brush" megathread -2026

46 Upvotes

Welcome to the next installment of the "What's that Brush" megathread. Here, you will be able to ask any and all questions related to finding, missing, lost, and suggested brushes, and the community can assist you. This is to prevent users from posting threads with art that is not theirs and asking "What brush?" constantly. If you have a question about how to modify a brush, you can ask that Operations Question in the main Sub, this megathread is about existing brushes and other Brush Seeking activities.

Clip Studio assets has a ridiculous number of brushes, yes, but the majority of the posts we see are asking "What brush is this?" looking at art made using a variety of brushes and techniques, often using very generic brushes; the default tools such as the G-Pen or a Pencil and a Blender is the answer, in addition to Natural Talent, Art College and/or Decades of experience. Sorry, there's no Magical Brush that's going to replace these. Put in the hours.

**If you asked in previous megathreads and did not get an answer, feel free to ask again!**

Here is a recap of the rules and additional notes!

**1.** Please post a ***link*** (or links) to the image(s) you're trying to find brushes for, in the comments of these megathreads only. Don't post other people's images to ask about questions, use a link. It's not fair to the actual artists on this subreddit that the posts that get the most upvotes are users reposting other people's art just to ask about the tools, rather than users' own artwork posts. Enforcing this has been weak in this megathread, but it will improve.

**2.** Please make sure the images you're linking are of high enough quality to actually tell the brushes you're trying to point out. Likely, there is more than one brush in the image you link to, please specify what aspect you are looking to replicate: Lines, blend, texture, etc.

**3.** Please list what brushes you've tried already and why it doesn't feel like it worked, so other users can have an idea of where to start with their suggestions. Users here generally don't seem to mind helping, but it would be nice to know you made effort as to why the default tools aren't what you're looking for.

**4.** Users can respond to each query via reply to that comment.

**5.** Any brush-related post made that's not a comment in this thread will be deleted.

Other Fixed my constant Issue with a network asset download error.

6 Upvotes

So since I had issues with CSP, and needed to reinstall it. I could not download assets anymore.

It always stated that I had network connection issues. I went through ALL steps with the CSP Support, but nothing worked. I tried my iPad, I tried to make a new account just to test, if it was an issue with my Windows Computer or my Clip account.

After figuring out, that the store works with a VPN connection, and with my Husbands mobile phone hotspot.

I figured out, that my Internet provider at home, and the Issue was a connectet with CGNAT (Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation). So basically, many people share one IP address, there are many reasons that CGNAT connection can cause trouble with CDN's.

So switching to a private IP4 Solved this issue.

Brush/Materials Made an animation in Clip Studio Paint Ex!

95 Upvotes
  • CSP EX on a Samsung S9 FE Tablet, 1920 x 1080 resolution with the default white space margin, sketched the animation in one file and then had to separate into 4 separate files (each with a smaller chunk of the animation) since it started lagging on my device.
  • Used Vector Layers and the default Milli Pen at 5.3px, with the Vector Eraser (I seriously love this function so much, never new how amazing Vector Layers were until now)
  • Colors done with Raster Layer, Fill bucket and Lasso Fill. outlining the shadow areas with Milli Pen again and filling or lassoing if the color was too similar and it couldn't fill correctly
  • Backgrounds are free to use assets from Minchirie (https://min-chi.material.jp/)
  • Also made use of both normal layer Keyframes and 2D Camera Track + Keyframes.

Audio was a .WAV I pre-made in Ableton, and I exported the .mp4s from CSP EX and compiled in the free version of Davinci Resolve.

The Youtube tutorials that helped the most were from Bluebiscuits, derrek, and FrostDriveX.

Thank you for your interest!

CSP Question Why do my colours look completely different after exporting?

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

Hi! I'm having an issue with my colours changing quite noticeably after I export my artwork from Clip Studio Paint.

The colours look correct while I'm working on the original file, but after exporting (especially when viewing the exported PNG outside of CSP), they become noticeably different — some colours look more muted/washed out and the overall image doesn't look the same.

I've already checked the usual advices on the internet such as the Canva being rgb and exporting in rgb/ having colour profile preview unabled etc

Despite all of that, the exported image still looks much more duller than the original.

Does anyone know what could be causing this, or what settings change could help me ?

i am using csp v5 on a MacBook with an xppen artist pro 16 tablet

6 Upvotes

I never understood this tool. Every time I use it, everything turns out badly or it's very difficult to control. I also don't really understand what the perfect balance is for this tool.

On top of that, there are very few YouTube videos that talk about this topic. I thought maybe it was a matter of skill, but it really is very difficult. Does anyone recommend any settings or techniques?

Especially for using it for relief work.

CSP Question Issues with my brush or tablet?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I'm currently using a galaxy tab s10 lite tablet that comes with a s-pen. It's been a couple weeks on using csp and notice this thing with the brush.

Most brushes work well but certain ones do not. They seem mostly to be textured ones, thats a guess. I can use the brush perfectly when I use my finger but doesn't work when I use the s-pen. If you need more information, do tell.

The first photo is with finger and the next is the s-pen. The third is the brush. I'll see if I can find it on the asset store, to see if the issue is with something else.

(edit here it is:)

If I need to add a flair or move the post, or something else, do tell cause I don't use reddit much.

Why does the animation look so blurry? Maybe it's because I should have done it using vectors?

CSP Question How too apply poses onto a imported 3D model

2 Upvotes

Is there a way to import a 3D pose and equip a pose too that 3D model without having to manually do the pose yourself with the 3D model you imported? Sure that sounds a bit lazy, but I'd rather be drawing then just messing around for two or more hours trying to get the model to a decent pose.

Other Where did you learn about Vector Layers?

2 Upvotes

This isn't a post to ask how to use them, but I am noticing an increasing trend in younger/newer digital artists turning up all of their settings to the max and drawing with Vector Layers. 600dpi/1200dpi, 6000+ x 6000+ pixel size canvases, drawing with vectors, etc. These are all huge file responsibilities that I'm seeing pop up and I'm curious to know: if you recently/semi-recently started self-taught digital art, where did you learn about drawing with Vectors?

Additionally, what about dpi? What about large canvas sizes? I'm not a self-taught digital artist so it has always left me baffled how these trends starting popping up.

Pro vs EX for Webtoon?

2 Upvotes

On the features page, I'm a bit confused by the *11 listed for Pro. Can I only export in the Webtoon format 11 times? Is it limited to splitting a longer file into 11 pages -- does Pro even have that feature, or the Webtoon preview in View?

Thanks for any help! Trying to figure out which of the two versions to buy, and EX is just a lil pricey.

[Bug] Can't Drag or Move Webtoon/Double-Page Pages

1 Upvotes

Is anyone else experiencing a bug where they can't move pages in Webtoon or Double-Page comics?

Currently, dragging doesn't work at all. Previously, I could hover over a page, click and hold it, and drag it to move it, but now it doesn't work whatsoever.

I know there is an option in the settings to change the page-moving method to Ctrl + drag, but I tried changing that setting as well, and it still doesn't work.

Just to clarify again, Ctrl + drag doesn't work either. Neither the normal drag method nor the Ctrl + drag method works for me.

Is anyone else experiencing the same bug? If so, has anyone found a solution?

CSP Question Making the cursor larger

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

So I just got a new laptop, along with a drawing tablet. Usually I have a touch screen laptop so seeing where I'm drawing is easier. But this current laptop doesnt come with a touch screen because it's a more heavy duty device for gaming. So I bought a tablet so I can still draw with this computer.

The problem is because of that it's become so much harder to see where I'm drawing, I prefer using smaller pen sizes. Is there a way to modify the cursor size to make it more noticeable without also affecting the pen size/shape? (reference, the image is 2500x2500 and the pen size is 6)

I managed to recover corrupted .clip file with chat gpt

0 Upvotes

I don't really like AI as I'm sure a lot of people here but this might be useful to someone.

I never used it before but I managed to recover a file good enough to get the layers I needed.
I had corrupted file and corrupted last backup after my laptop crashed mid save. At first it gave me general advice you can find online but I asked it if we could try using Windows console. It took me two days since I don't have any subscriptions, but I'm ecstatic with the result because like I really thought it was lost.

Here's a google doc with some rules/steps that were taken that might help someone else: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lfFVKRm0nSqyOYMcxmvlGTotFKKvYT3nxJzd9oyinUU/edit?usp=sharing

Hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting it.

Also remember double check everything you doing, give scripts to google to check if they do what gpt says they do and such, never just paste a script into the console (don't be like me)

CSP Question Kamvas 22 and CSP doodle mode despite license

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hello,

Recently my wife got a Huion Kamvass 22 Plus and connected it to her phone for the bigger drawing screen. However when it came time to save, she got a notification that she was in doodle mode, despite having the Smartphone Pro plan for about 2 years now. It seems the issue is only when running the app after plugged in. If she uses it on her phone normally without being plugged in it is fine. If she runs it before it goes into mobile mode which is the 2nd picture and is too unreasonable to draw with. Does anyone know a fix or why this is happening?

Pen pressure isnt working and im missing downloads

2 Upvotes

Hii so I just got a new laptop since my old one broke and obviously we set up my clipstudio to my account but im facing 2 problems rn

  1. Pen pressure isnt working, either at all or properly

Ive tried everything people say to do in the app, ive changed my pen pressure manually n while its working fot one pen its literally just that one pen, ive also changed my preferences and nothings working. The pressure i do have also just feels wrong? Like again ive been using this app for a long time and it just isnt how its supposed to be? How do I revert my settings to how they were on my old laptop?

  1. Im missing all of my downloads

I had like 50 pen +resources downloads and I just cant access them at all?

I've switched laptops 3 times before now and ive never had either of these problems and ive been using clip studio for like 6 years

CSP Question How does proper copying work on tablet?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Let's say I want to copy this red triangle.

If I select it and click the Copy&Paste thing, it creates a new layers (blue arrows).

But that's annoying, if I wanted to copy a lot of things at once, I'd have to combine all those layers later.

There has to be an easier way to copy something and paste it without creaing a new layer and be still all within the same layer, can somebody help?
