YOU PROBABLY STRUGGLE WITH THIS IN CLIP STUDIO PAINT - ELLISPES AND TRANSFORM 

This is one of the trickier obstacles to take on when you are getting used to clip studio. I would definitely consider this an intermediate technique. What are some of the more challenging Clip Studio hurdles for you?

Ive just been using the straight line ruler for my panel boarders..came here to understand the ellipse tool and picked up another time saver. Thanks Rich!

Great video Rich! - I have a little tip with the bucket fill tool, if you add a pixel or two in the area scaling, you wont get that weird white halo around your fill. Those white halo's drive me nuts lol..

Hey, did you know, there's also a curve ruler, where you can draw any sort of ellipse ruler. It has a nice effect, because you can vary the line weight, when drawing the line.

I'm enjoying these and hope to see more insight into clip studio paint. I work using this app pretty much exclusively when not doing traditional art. P. S. Walden Wong just did a video about removing blue lines from scanned line art using a technique I don't remember seeing before, so I came to your channel looking for your technique. It must be a false memory because I can't find one here.

Darn it, I was hoping I'd learn to read and write!

Hey there... You should use the panel border tool or a vector layer for the panel borders. You can then edit the shape after the fact without any loss in line quality, as well as change the weight of the lines after the fact as well. Same with the elipse, if you use a vector layer, that way transforming it doesn't affect the lines quality. Plus you can change the shape of the elipse (or any line based tool on a vector layers) on a point by point basis all without affecting the quality of the lines which is what happens with the raster layers. You can also set up a perspective grid so the elipse will naturally take the shape in perspective, including perfect circles while holding shift. Also on that blue pencil layer, as long as you set the layer to blue, you'll instantly know if you accidentally ink on it, as everything turns blue. I actually set all my layers to their respective colors, so that way I can only draw in black layer on a black, white on a white layer, and I set different colors for pencilling different elements to keep an eye on what II'm doing with pencils. I've been penciling and inking in clip studio for about 8 or 9 years at this point and wouldn't go back, the benefits are overwhelming. Not sure I would have survived batgirls working on paper again :D

This is helpful. You work at 600dpi? I have mostly worked from 300 to 400. Is that a personal preference or is print higher than 300dpi these days?
