Supported from Clip Studio Paint Ver.1.11.0

 

Initial brush sub tools refresh

In Clip Studio Paint Ver.1.10.10, the initial brush-type sub tools, [Pen], [Pencil], [Brush], [Blend] and [Decoration] have been updated. We have also added new sub tools that make use of the new [Dual brush] and [Color Jitter] functions to the lineup.

Additionally, in Clip Studio Paint Ver. 1.11.0, color blending functionality was added to Dual Brushes, and the sub tools Wet wash and Thick oil paint were updated.

 

If you already have Clip Studio Paint installed

Updating from Ver. 1.10.9 (or earlier) to a later version will not change any of your existing default sub tools; the update will only add new brushes, but will not change the settings of any sub tools that were present before the update.

 

If you would like to add the updated brushes, select [Add from default] from the menu at the top-left of the [Sub tool] palette.

The default sub tools that were updated in Versions 1.10.10 and 1.11.0 are available on Clip Studio Assets.

 

Sub tools that have been removed as initial sub tools, as well as sub tools from Ver.1.10.9 and earlier whose settings have changed (except for brush size), can be downloaded from Clip Studio ASSETS.

 

 

If you are installing Clip Studio Paint for the first time on Ver.1.10.10, or if you reverted the tools to default and restarted the program, the way the brush-type tools are grouped and structured will have changed from Ver.1.10.9 and earlier.

For more information on tool configuration, please refer to “Initial sub tool groups for new installs”.

■[Pencil] tool

 

■[Brush] tool

■[Blend] tool

 

Matching the cursor with the shape and orientation of your brush

The [Brush tip shape] can now be set as the [Shape of cursor] displayed on the canvas when a drawing tool such as a brush, eraser or figure is selected.

The cursor can now also be made to change according to the pressure, tilt, orientation, and movement direction of your pen or brush.

 

 

 

■Changing the Shape of cursor to match the Brush shape

 

You can set this up from: [File] menu > [Preferences] dialog > [Cursor] > [Shape of cursor].

 

・On Windows: [File] menu > [Preferences]

・On Tablets/macOS: [CLIP STUDIO PAINT] menu > [Preferences]

・On Smartphones: [Menu] button > [App Settings] > [Preferences]

 

Cursor Display

・For Dual brushes: the brush tip image of the main brush will be used as the cursor.

・For brushes that contain multiple brush tip images: the first brush tip image will be used as the cursor.

・For spray brushes: the cursor will be displayed as a circle.

 

 

 

■Adjusting the pen pressure and orientation of the cursor

 

You can change the cursor to match to the pressure, tilt, orientation, and movement direction of your pen or brush.

In the [Preferences] dialog > [Cursor details], choose from the four following settings to change the brush cursor.

 

• Do not change

• Change orientation only

• Change size, thickness & orientation

• Change size, thickness & orientation when pen is hovering
