  • @marfred2510
    thank you!! for being the first person to actually explain all the tools and how they work cuz ive been lost.
  • I realize this video is older nowā€¦. But like everyone else said, it is BY FAR still the best intro to Clip Studio Paint. Iā€™m transitioning from years and years of traditional art with 0 digital experience so I am extremely grateful for a video that doesnā€™t skip the absolute basics. Thank you!
  • Oh my gosh, thank you for actually explaining each tool in detail, talking slowly, and SHOWING us where you're clicking for each one. I'm going to study this video bahaha
  • @Syngeman
    It is odd this has any thumbs down . It is a person , teaching other people ... how can you give that a thumbs down?
  • I love how you not only show the basic tools, but you show how they're used together in a coloring workflow. Great job!
  • @Valor06
    Out of all the videos I've found explaining Clip Studio Paint, this one is the best by far. You actually go through every single tool and demonstrate how it works in detail.
  • @lyrisse7119
    I appreciate the detail that went into this tutorial, especially giving an overview on the tools and what they do. As someone who's transitioning from traditional art, I feel like the line art portions can be learned easily (thanks to this tutorial), though I'll have to look for more stuff regarding coloring. Great work!
  • Everyone has mentioned it before, but thankyou for really explaining the program from beginning, without "dumbing it down" so much that it loses the learning. I also love that you time coded, it part so we can go to the part we are having trouble with to practice.
  • @hands_0n543
    Thanks! This was really helpful after I was slapped in the face with an overwhelming amount of buttons and sliders
  • @indigobookworm
    I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate the time and effort to put into this video! Your explanations are so easy to understand and follow along with!
  • @pokkenwolf5985
    This was VERY informative! Thank you so much for this! I can't express how much I've been stressing and struggling over finding videos explaining most of what will be useful to me, with enough detail for me to understand. Thank you so much again!
  • i recently got into digital art, this tutorial has been really helpful and i actually made something good for the 1st time as a beginner, Thank you so much!
  • @saku4539
    Love the video! Even though ive been using clip studio since july, there is still alot of things i did not know about thanks!
  • Me, a person who's been using CSP for two years now: ah yes I really need this
  • @torigordon1357
    This was so helpful to see how using different layers works for coloring in your work. I never understood clipping or how to group layers so thank you very much!
  • @juniebats
    This tutorial has been elemental in my journey to becoming a more serious artist! Very in-depth with demonstration and explanation :}
  • @Norahlk
    This was exactly what I needed as a person who is both new to Clip studio paint and digital art. Thank you!!
  • @epicbronyl2395
    I can already tell I'm going to be rewatching this several times
  • @latex3746
    This is hands down the simplest tutorial I've come across so far. I'm not good with any kind of software but you really dumbed it down and actually explained what the functions were. I'll be saving this to like a playlist, its a really helpful tutorial ty so much
