CLIP STUDIO PAINT Tips&Tricks 07: Watercolor effect. 

I'm very hapy to be of help (^v^)

I'm super happy to be of help

I can guarantee it was a great purchase

I'm glad to be of help

I'm super happy to hear that (///w///)

Aww, thank you! I hope you will find something useful in the video (^v^)

Thank you very much

I'm happy to be of help ♥

I hope you'll have fun! I love the result.

I'm happy if it was useful! I love Mitsuba

I'm very happy if it's helpful

The reason is that I want to see what the overall color scheme looks like before I paint with watercolor. Because the watercolor brushes give a lighter color than the original intended, by placing all colors first with solid bucket I can get more suitable colors. However, I don’t think this is an essential step, it is something you can skip if you don’t find it useful or you’re comfortable choosing the colors directly with the watercolor brushes (^^)b

I hope it will be useful

No problem~

Thank you for watching my video and reading my comic

Aww, love you (´ ε ` )♡

No problem~

Thank you so much!

No problem

Thank you! I always work at 350dpi when it comes to illustration. Regarding size, this one I made in A4 because I wanted to get it printed for cons, but normally I work on a smaller canvas (if I'm not going to print it, I work in A5).

Aaah, I'm sorry. I do edit the audio on Audacity and later on Filmora so that it's louder and it sounds fine on my computer, but if it's different on other people's computers then I don't know what to do (x_x)

I'm happy to be of help! My brush settings must be the same as yours because I never changed anything after downloading them, so the difference must be the tablets we use. Different tablets give different results (for example, my travelling device gets me thinner lines than my main device, which would also result in lighter colors for the watercolor brushes). Maybe there is some place on your computer where you can callibrate your tablet so it requires less pressure to get thicker lines (so that it also requires less pressure/strokes for darker colors)?

@@InmaPollito oh! i never realized that thank you! i will try that out

To apply the first base colors (the ones that are solid and have no texture) I use mainly the bucket and then I fix edges and such with mapping pen. To apply the textured base color after that you have to do it with a watercolor brush from the pack I recommend (or any other you find), otherwise it will have no texture.

@@InmaPollito thank you so much for the quick reply! love your work!

He's my favourite

I made a bucket to make the process as simple as possible (please, follow the instructions to use it properly): assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1758783 I hope it helps somehow! I also have a video about using the bucket (it's the first one from my Tips&Tricks series). If you mean filling in base colors with the watercolor brush, it is explained how to do it easily on this video.

He's my favourite from the series

It depends on the drawing and the coloring style I'm using. For this one I used a pencil (I think?), you can find the link to the specific brush on the video description (^^)b

@@InmaPollito Oh i see, thanks for the quick reply and keep up the good work!

There’s no special step to use them. They don’t work? Can you give me more details of your problem so I can try to help you? Are you using them on a normal layer? (Non-vector)

Do you mean for the base color? The trick is to paint the area in one go. The moment you stop pressing the pen, when you start painting again there will be a noticeable line where you left it (if this is not what you meant, give me more details so maybe I can help you).

That option is now called "convert to drawing color", you should have it no matter what version you're using. Otherwise you can lock the transparent pixels of the layer, select the color you want and use "fill" on the edit menu (^^)b

@@InmaPollito oh thank so much it worked 🥰

Also, the first time i draw with the brush the opacity is so low that you can't see anything, you have to draw over again at least 3 times to see anything

The brush is meant to have low opacity (you can see that it doesn't paint with the color I choose, but a lot lighter), but it seems you're having a problem because it's not meant to be so hard to see color. The only thing that comes to mind is that your tablet settings are set to be super sensitive to pressure (meaning you need to press really hard to get higher density). You can change that either by adjusting your tablet on the pen pressure settings option on the File menu (which I do not reccoment because it will change the way you work with ALL your brushes) or by adjusting the brush itself. I don't usually edit brushes so I'm not sure how to do this, but if you click on the little wrench to open the brush options, go to ink and play around with the numbers (I have the amount of paint set to 100 and the density of paint set to 50. Opacity is set to 100).

It's explained in the video (^^) Around 1:30 I apply base color, around 2:25 I explain how this part works so you don't paint outside the lines (it's using the clip to layer below function over the base color layer).

​@@InmaPollito ohh I see, I must have missed it :D

Thank you very much (^^)

Yesh, I love him

If there's any specific part you don't understand I can try to explain. If you don't understand any part at all, then I think you need to check other tutorials to explain the basics of this software. The technique I'm using here is super simple, but it requires a basic knowledge of layers and blending modes on Clip Studio Paint.

@@InmaPollito yeah, I think I need to know those first. CSP is just soooo overwhelming for me. 😅
