Hello! In this tutorial I will show how you can make your own digital brush for drawing clouds in Clip Studio Paint. With this brush clouds will be amazingly volumetric and beautiful, honestly make our artwork process faster and easier. The point is that the shape of the brush has two colors, the main color and the sub color (in the gray version, Black and White). One color is the light on the clouds and the other is the shadow

Whole process here:

---

1. Brush shape

Click layer -> New Layer -> Raster Layer:

Select Gray instead of colored layer, it needed for changing brush color in the future.

Now draw brush shape, it looks like this:

Go to the Edit -> Register Material -> Image:

Turn on “Use for brush tip shape”, choose save location, write tags if you want (with tags much more easier to find this shape later) and click OK.

Then find Round mixing brush and duplicate it like that:

2. Brush settings

Let’s change brush settings now. Click Window -> Sub Tool Detail:

You will see new window with our duplicated brush settings. In the Brush tip choose Material and add your brush shape.

Now just look at these all settings carefully and try to do it yourself, adjusting the values for the perfect brush for you:

When you're done, press the button “Save all settings as default”.

3. Using cloudy brush

Perfect, cloudy brush is ready! I wish you inspiration for your own clouds.
