Magic Training (Perfect Strokes)

Video!!

Perfect strokes are all about control, and I'll share the magical exercises to develop your skill.

 

However before that you have to look at your sensitivity settings

You don't have to complicate things, however this is key, you don't have to put so much pressure on the tablet, that's why I recommend the soft sensitivity, you won't want to scratch your digitizing tablet and your nibs will last twice or triple as long.

The course softens the route, I also recommend it

This is my configuration if you want to start testing 🠕🠕

Prepare your weapon according to your class (Tool Selection)

Using Clip Studio Paint's default g-pen to start however if you already feel it's too easy this is where you need to tweak to increase the difficulty

I recommend this setup initially.

Easy? Lower the stabilization to 0 and when this also removes the speed stabilization

Magic Strokes

Parallels of Another World (Lines)

It is always important to have a reference and that this be a single stroke, [you may experience tension in your hand, but it is normal, it is literal gymnastics] So the first line is above, while the next one is the parallel one.

Try to make it one stroke, don't worry Ctrl-z is available

---

Chaos Vortexes (Crossed Lines)

First you divide like this, then insert more divisions (warning you may be very criminal at first)

Think about the beginning, the end and try it

Difficult huh? It's normal, it's your control gaining levels

---

Pressure Grooves(Pressure Control)

Key if you want to do a quick lineart, controlling the minimum pressure and the maximum pressure, which is why I recommend the light pressure setting (you don't want to scratch your pen tablet x2).

In this case you make the journey from the minimum pressure to the maximum and vice versa.

Examples are super fast compared to normal speed

---

Round Crimes (Circles with reference)

You will most likely make them, however if you subdivide them with more practice you will.

 

 

Increase the difficulty when it starts to get easy and stay in challenge mode.

Mix with pressure changes in halves example

---

Magic Ripples (Wavy Line Control)

Do it as close as possible, you feel as you hold your breath you are doing it well, remember a slow pace at first, control and then a little more speed

If it's too easy for you, try doing it with pressure variations

In addition you will also notice how you use your entire arm and at times only the wrist [how you control the power of your arm muahahahaha], these changes in support of the entire arm and wrist are the objective, the master line control that you are looking for, to paint faster over the line and draw faster

In the GIF it goes super fast, don't worry [in the end I will leave the video without speed]

---

Orb Trail (Pressure Control)

Here you can play with the pressure and I also invite you to create your own challenges, try to make them similar and have a good transition of minimum and maximum pressure

 

 

---

Line stack (medium and minimum pressure control)

It looks simple, however you already set the pen pressure to light x3

This daily routine will help you in a few weeks to have magnificent control of your power in strokes

A reference and the total position of your arm is always important,

Frequent questions

How many should you do a day?

A: I recommend that you do this entire exercise in a maximum of 30 minutes.

the important factor is the consistency and quality of control

What is the correct arm position?

A: You have to have full movement of the shoulder and without lifting it, if you feel that it rises naturally try to increase the level of the chair, it could be a pillow or a blanket
