Transparent watercolor and emphasizing texture(both in watercolor brushes). Unless you use special brush or blend mode etc). Occasionally using Blend and Blur.Īirbrush - soft and hard - you can get almost the same look that Photoshop art has(but not exact, since PS doesn't mix well brush strokes, compared to major art programs. it gives nice texture, especially to skin. i can use it for practically anything, just changing size. I advice you to read Color and Light of James Gurney it that is the case, is the most basic book that I can reccomend you. If not you just need to train on your basic painting skills and it doesn't matter if it is Clip Studio Paint or Photoshop. And you're good in ither programs is just a matter of being comfortable with Clip Studio Paint. If you have knowledge about color theory, how the light work, anatomy, where to use Hard and Soft brushes etc. Now that we have discussed on brushes and workflow now is time to talk about the problem of the realistic painting. So there are a lot of misconception about the program. They never said again that "Photoshop is better".ĭAMN IT! I'm ready to do it even with you! BRING IT ON!!!!Īnother factor to consider is the fact that you have a lot of tutorials about photoshop and on worflow that work best with that program, but not so much on Clip Studio Paint.
After I sitted down with them explained to them the differences and how to use Clip Studio Paint as CLIP STUDIO PAINT. They never give me a reasons based on "what you can't do" but no reasons, because they are just using Clip Studio Paint in the wrong way. So everytime I see the people working in Clip Studio Paint after working a lot in Photoshop and they begin to say:"Photoshop is better!". So everytime I see someone trained with photoshop asking:"Which brush I need to use?" I just laugh myself off.Īnother useful thing on the trasparent "paint" is that you just need to change the colour you're using to trasparent and EVERY brush you have will become an eraser.Īs you can see we have three groundbreaking difference in worflow with ONLY the fact that you can paint with the alpha channel. Obviously you need to turn on the option mixing colours in the "ink" section of the brush option. After this is just roughing or smoothing up the edges of the tip, no texture in the tip you will only have a slow brush and nothing else. For an example if you need a rough watercolour brush you just need to create a basic shape, circle or square, and in the brush options go to the brush tip and put thickness and direction at random. Second useful thing, for the trasparency "paint", is that the brush tip and texture is not so much relevant as in photoshop. With this you can create a HUGE cromatic gamma without selecting a different colour every time or creating a new layer, something that you need to do in photoshop. I make an example make a red circle after this take the watecolour brush and select the blue, try to paint on the red circle and you will create a purple colour. This is REALLY useful for two reasons, first you can create brushes that mix the paint on layer. I found out that people, or at least the one I know, who only worked with photoshop for illustration and painting having an hard time adapting to Clip Studio Paint because for ONE SIMPLE REASON, that you can use the trasparency as a "paint". I will start with the second point that is much more easier to approach. It depends on what you mean with realistic drawing and on HOW you use the brushes and your workflow in someway.
