right recently switched to CSP and i feel like i have been released from a 1000 ton yoke! PS is cool for color hence its name Photoshop but mannn... CSP.. this program just blows dust on PS
So helpful! I've spent days wrestling with those little dots and lines to try and make sense of the perspective ruler, this clarified a lot for me. I'll be using it a lot more in the future!
i didnt even go halfway through with the tutorial but i was able to get the info i needed from the few minutes you demonstrated the tool and just drew and nice background with the grid.... really good stuff compared to most of what ive watched
I have a whole doc about Clip Studio and I still learned a few things here. I think the killer combo for Clip is the perspective tools + vector inks/eraser. Makes backgrounds a breeze.
Glad it was helpful! The perspective tools are so good! I try to use a combo of them and hand-drawn so backgrounds don't look too stilted, but they really are a life-saver.
What I also like is that once a ruler is created (like a curve or something) and you've used it to draw a line, you can click on that Operation Tool then clicking the blue ruler symbol in the layer then you can click on the ruler to edit it and move it around. I find this good if I want the exact same curve in several places on my drawing. I can draw the curve then move the ruler someplace else and draw the same curve there.
Bro, I love your video. I was having trouble with the perspective ruler earlier because I was using the one you put in manually, but this workflow is much better for my purposes. Thank you so much!
Hey Scott, I want to share a tip for the concentric circle guide that really helped me. I draw a lot of propeller aircraft, so the circle guide is super helpful for drawing moving rotors, but I had trouble getting that guide lined up perfectly. What I found was that your can get the guide more or less where you want it, THEN go to the Object tool. Once you do that, you can manipulate the circle guide just like the perspective grid with control points! You can drag the guide somewhere else on the page, you can change the tilt, you can adjust the curves... It's awesome! It really helps with vehicles with wheels and especially multi engine aircraft. Seriously, you make the best Clip Studio videos! Big fan! seriously you have the best Clip Studio videos!
It's all in the details, and that's just what you showed us. I'd have gone about it the long/messy way forever without ever having realized that the middle check-box allows you to use the same setup on another layer. Thanks for sharing.
Right!? So handy! And if you Alt+Drag the perspective icon in the layer, you can copy it to another layer! I do this in case I want to have a building (or whatever) that's a turned a little, so I can keep the same horizon as the other buildings.
That concentric circle tool is awesome. A tip that I found useful was changing active ruler to green and inactive ruler to red(ish) in the prefs. Made it easier to figure out which one was on/off. Also if you hide the ruler layer it goes inactive. Thanks for the awesome vids!!
I’ve been struggling so much with the perspective ruler I was so confused with all those line and thoses « dots » and « diamonds » thing but your video made everything so clear! Thank you sooo much!
Thank you so much for this!!! I accidentally clicked that stupid (yet useful) little diamond and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t activate that side of the perspective! You saved me! There is so much to this program that it blows my mind daily! PS can’t even come close to it’s awesomeness! This is the second time I’ve viewed this video in it’s entirety. Saved to my favourites for future reference! More tips and tricks please!!!
You mean to tell me that after struggling with circles they had a ruler the whole time for one!!! >:T SEE THIS IS WHY I NEED TO LOOK AT TUTORIALS MORE OFTEN!!
Bro!! Thank you so much for this video.Not only was it informative, you got right to the point. So many videos with long intros, or them talking about their house cat, or some nonsense before they actually give out the info needed. You got a subscriber!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Very good video, you go straight to the subject and it's interesting from start to end. One thing though, about the linear curve: it produces different results than using shift when the brush use randomness as a dynamic, so it has its uses sometimes.
Thanks! Yeah, that's true! Usually, when I'm making a straight line with shift+click, I want a consistent thickness, but you're right, if you want some different variation and stuff, the ruler is probably the way to go. Shift+click can be a little thicker, too, since it thinks it's at, like, 100% pressure.
@Scott Drummond Yeah exaclty! Especially with some brushes that have a very large radius and a lot of dynamic range in size. Only drawback is it's less intuitive than using shift but it's nice being able to do it.
Awesome rundown on a super-helpful tool. In a lot of ways, it can help to get much better at seeing proper perspective faster. I used to think guides/rulers were a cheat, but this is teaching me so much. Thank you!
Haven't seen the entire Video yet, but the Quality and Personality of the Video is great, especially for the Subscriber count! I'm subscribed! Only the Audio quality is something you might still want to work on.
hello, I am watching this video from Iran and I have to use automatic subtitles to understand your video. I have a question. Is this a list of videos suitable for people who just want to start making comics?😅 If the answer is no, I would be grateful if you could introduce me to a source from 0 to 100🙏
nice and helpful video - but i wanted to tell u that wanted to look into your webcomic but couldn't find page 1? Maybe ur website could use some redesigning
Glad you liked the video! The comic has a "First" link at the top that goes to the cover of the first one. Then you can use the "Next" button to go from there. Here's the link to the first page, though! :) www.nightsmokecomic.com/post/124586475450/nightsmoke-volume-one-page-1
i'm confused, when i create the layer, my pen, pencil etc, doesn't stick to the ruler, even with the snap to ruler and special ruler... anyone able to help me out?
Weird! Double check that the Tool itself lets you Snap. In the Sub Tool Detail Panel (which you can get to by clicking the wrench icon in the Tool Properties Palette), under the Correction tab, make sure "Enable snapping" is checked. Hope that fixes it! :)
None on grids yet! I usually just use the Divide Frame Border menu option for my borders instead of proper grids. Is there anything on grids in particular you’d like to see?
Great video! I can finally start drawing thee interiors of buildings now ha ha. Question though: what can I do instead of using the shift key when I need to make straight lines of perfect circles? The set up at my desk makes it near impossible for me to use my keyboard while I draw
In the Tool Property Menu, if you click the Wrench in the bottom right and go to Figure, you can check the box that says Aspect Type and choose 1:1. Aspect Type might even be in the Tool Property Menu, so just check that box to get a perfect circle, and you can adjust it to get whatever oval shape you want, but 1:1 will be a perfect circle. Hope that helps!
I tried to use the perspective ruler using my iPad. I do most of my work through my Ipad, is there any advice or maybe you can do a video showing IOS iPad users how to utilize the perspective ruler in comics?
I almost forgot if you can do maybe perspective drawing video showing drawings with buildings using the perspective ruler? I think that would be very helpful.
@@gamingnetwork009 It's honestly the same. CSP on the iPad is basically the same program as on desktop. I made this video for the CSP YT channel that shows some building creation, if you wanna see it in action: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--0DaR46sJAg.html
Good question! I can't seem to figure out a way to do it! You could always use the Direct Draw Ellipse Tool on the layer with the Perspective grid, then use the Concentric Circles Ruler to kind of try to get close, but it won't be off-center like you're wanting, I don't think. If you figure it out, make sure to let me know!
Hi, Scott, is there a way to preserve(save) perspective points and perspective ruler the way you set them up (or established) on the illustration, and to use that same points and ruler next time when you wont to work on your illustration. For example, if I have 2 or 3 PP for example they are out of my paper, so I can't mark them as dots in the illustration, so if I close CSP and come back to work on that illo next time, the points and ruler are gone, there is just a layer with name perspective ruler, but no points and ruler as I set it up, first time when I start to draw, and then I have to make all that again, which take some time to do, of course. Maybe my CSP not working correctly? Thanks very much, and sorry for my rusty English :D
Hmmmm.... That's odd. They should be saved in your file. Make sure you're saving it as a Clip Studio Paint file. If you're saving it as a PSD or something, the Perspective data will be gone because Photoshop doesn't know what to do with that data, so it's deleted.
@@ScottD you're right, I was saving it usually as PSD and then it came to my mind this morning too, that work should be saved as CSP file, I tried it and everything is as it should be, the rulers and perspective points are there, as before I closed the CSP :) Thanks very much!
DISCORD DISCORD DISCORD! no joke, get a discord link up in hur, I would love to join on from you, It would be sick place for comic creators to chat about all this stuff and drop them big tips.
Maybe once we grow the channel a little more! I don't want to start one and have it be empty for a long time. I'll probably start streaming at some point after we hit 1K subs and then maybe start a Discord after that, if people seem to enjoy it! :)
The concentric ruler did really help out a lot to create some cool effects, thank you so much for this tutorial, I really just started using it to experiment and see what I was able to do and the extra tips you added were great
