- Hey guys, welcome to
another episode of Ross Draws, and today I'll be giving
my first impressions of, Clip Studio Paint! I try my best to help out
as many artists as I can. I get so many comments asking
about different effects, and tools, and different programs, so I'm happy to announce that Clip Studio and I are teaming up
to give you this video. Let's do it! Alright, one of the big features I'm super excited for
is, Record Timelapse! I heard so many great things about this, so we're going to make a new file, and there is a checkbox right
here called Record timelapse. You guys know that I made my
career on timelapse videos. You know, speed painting, recording my process, beginning to end. I wish this feature
existed when I started, but better late than never. Make sure to stick around
to the very end of the video to see how the timelapse turns out. Let's do it. So right now I'm just trying
to capture that experience of being an artist, paint and
magic flowing all around her. She's happy, she's excited, maybe a, little scared new program... And also, you guys know
the meme and the joke, I hate drawing hands, but new program, new challenges. So my attempt to, draw her hand. Hey guys, welcome back and here the progress of the piece so far. And yeah, I'm having a lot of fun, I think the drawing
experience is really smooth it's a little foreign to me, I don't know all the hot
keys or the shortcuts but I'm slowly and surely
learning this program. And one tool that I've heard,
such a great things about and I can't wait to try
is the AI Colorization. I'm a little hesitant
on trying new things, you know, I'm a bit of a grandpa I like to stay in my comfort zone, but this is a whole new program with a whole new set of features and I would love to try AI Colorization. The way AI colorization
works is it maps out... But yeah, that's how it works, pretty simple. Let's, let's give it a shot. Insert a layer to a reference layer and without giving it
any hints, any color, we're just gonna colorize it. You ready? Three...two...one Oh my God! Yo.... that's kinda cool It has a sense of highlights
mid tones and shadows, this is a great starting off
point for a piece, you know for someone that just wants
to spit color onto a page is kind of scared of that white canvas, don't know what color to pick this is a great tool. And now let's undo. We're gonna add a color hint
to help guide the program into what color palette we want. All right, now this time,
let's see what happens go to edit, colorize, use hint image and colorize. Ah, Oh my God! I can't believe it. You know, I was a little scared because my actual
line work is very chaotic, you know, this is how I paint and the reference tutorial
had really clean line work. And so I thought it was gonna mess it up but the AI did an amazing
job at reading what I wanted. I think this is looking
pretty good so far, so I'm gonna commit to this palette and I'll check back soon. Hey guys, welcome back to
checking in with the piece I like it a lot, you know, but I'm not really sure about the color of these paint splashes
that's framing the character, so I'll try a new tool
in Clips Studio Paint that allows me to color
drop from my desktop. If you go to edit, obtain screen color, it allows me to select any color whether you're on Google, Pinterest, maybe you took some reference photos and you're trying to see what value it is. And so maybe we'll try
this nice yellow here. And then, Ooh... That's awesome, this saves me so much time so I don't have to kind
of drag it into my canvas. Also, I record all my
YouTube videos with OBS and what they have noticed is that when OBS is on and I try to
color pick from my desktop, it automatically turns all my colors, gray so that's kind of weird, hopefully they'll fix it in a patch or two but that's something for
you guys to be aware of. Looking good so far so I'm just going to keep working on it and I'll check back soon. Hey guys, so right now
I'm working on this, oh this weird hand and I wanna talk to you
guys about using reference. Sometime there's a misconception
that professional artists needs to know perfect
anatomy at every angle all the time and that's
just simply unrealistic. And so there's no shame in taking your own reference photos! A quick photo shoot with Mindy to get some uh different angle to the hand, you know trying to capture that anatomy And so we're gonna let this guide us into making this better. So the next time you're kind
of struggling with your piece, maybe take five minutes,
take out your camera phone and experiment by taking
your own reference photos. Sometimes we're scavenging the internet to find that perfect reference photo, but maybe it's easier to take your own because you know exactly what you want. And I just stumbled upon some of the default brushes that
come with Clips Studio Paint, usually I hate using default brushes because it's a little cheesy, but let me show you
some of my favorite ones that comes with the program. There's this flower one actually
really loved the line work on this. There's a cherry petal one if you kind of liked
that Japanese aesthetic. Oh my gosh, there's this gold chain one but my absolute favorite I
think, is this bubble brush. I feel like I could
totally see me using this inside this piece, the colors of the bubbles
match the paint splashes that has that fun,
vibrant, energetic feeling. And if these brushes aren't enough for you CSP actually has a whole library where you can download the free brushes, assets and elements for your projects. Also I'm told that Photoshop brushes are ready to be imported into CSP as is, also my advanced brush
pack is now available, it's 24 brushes I use in
almost every single one of my painting, all ready to be used in Clip Studio Paint. And last but not least,
what's really impressed me was the Clips Studio Paint Cloud System and because Clip Studio Paint is available for all major Operating Systems, Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. I can work on my iPad. I think they did a really
good job at translating all the functionality from the desktop to the mobile version, and when I'm done say I
come back from school, come back from a coffee shop I can let the piece sync
up and finish it back on my desktop. I really love this functionality because I think nowadays everything is
fast paced on the go, mobile, and I think this really
helps me with my work flow. All right guys! You know what time it is, It's... Add Glow time! oo...Add Glow! - Oh, Hey guys! Welcome back and thank
you so much to CSP again, for helping me make this video possible. There's a whole bunch of other
features I haven't tried yet so why don't you guys go try them, tell me your favorites because there's a three month free trial. Thanks again, don't forget to subscribe remember, ah! Every day is a Color Dodge Day.
