Preface

Digression into the formal content,

Please develop good habits when using software.

Please archive in stages during the painting process.

And regularly upload the works to outside the CLIP cloud,

Also press Save (Ctrl+S) from time to time during the painting process.

Or does it cause the files in the painting to suddenly disappear?

How to recover crashed files,

Please refer to the following methods,

(Error status encountered when using CLIP STUDIO PAINT version 1.0)

Please open the CLIP STUDIO program,

In the "Settings" menu in the upper right corner of the window, click "Repair Menu",

And "Enable the saving location of PAINT backup data",

CELSYS-->CLIPStudioPaintData-->DocumentBackup,

You can find the file that just crashed.

 

There is another situation,

I want to save but cannot save successfully.

When the CLIP STUDIO FORMAT file (.clip) cannot be archived,

After you can save it as a file (.psd),

Just save it back to the original file (.clip).

Photo conversion (background)

If you have trouble with the background of a black and white manuscript,

This tutorial provides some tips for beginners,

I will continue to use the previous method of using Photoshop (Ps) to explain.

At the beginning, you can start with the photos you took,

Let’s practice copying line drawings.

=== Created by users in the environment of Version 2.2.2 ===

---

Convert photos into black and white line drawings (black and white background processing method)

 

This is the use of a combination of dots and imitation line drafts

Demonstration of the style process of turning color photos into black and white manuscripts,

The process is divided into single layer presentation process one by one.

Please select a desired photo (.jpg),

And capture the required range, paste it, create a new file (.clip) and save it.

Make another copy of the original color image for comparison.

Adjust the "Tone Curve" in the New Tone Compensation Layer in the Layer options.

illustrate:

This step mainly increases the edge of the outline (more three-dimensional).

Or just use it mainly depending on the situation.

illustrate:

This step will present a situation where there are only black and white.

But it mainly depends on the overall complexity of the picture.

Therefore, the value of binarization cannot be set too high.

drawing method

illustrate:

"Color gamut selection" in "Selection range",

Use the "Eye Straw Tool" to suck the black in the picture and press OK.

The selection range will be displayed.

Also open a new layer and fill it with black. (independent layer)**

illustrate:

• Plan A:

(Sunny day)--sense of light

Use Brush to paint white lines within the range.

(Drawing color - white)

In the layer settings,

Add a new layer and set it to "Clip with next layer".

(Simple black color block layer)

Paste the dots (noise) and scrape off some of the dots.

illustrate:

After processing the outlets,

Draw the trees in the foreground.

Use "Polyline Selection (Floating Range)",

Circle the drawing range,

Then paint with white brush.

Please refer to the layer arrangement order!

illustrate:

Finally, add shining light spots on the screen

with birds on the branches.

Finish!

Plan B: (another method)

(rain)

illustrate:

Hold ctrl and click on the black picture (layer),

Turn the color block into a floating closed "selection range".

Open a new layer,

Prepare to apply line drawing brushes.

Turn off the visibility of other layers.

And paint with black brush. (Drawing color - black)

After roughly applying black lines,

The drawing color for subsequent modifications is all white.

Paste the dots (noise),

And handle scraping on the same layer!

illustrate:

The brush is using Gauze or Light Sand in the Gridline option.

Use white as the drawing color,

Shiny brushes that add sophistication,

Use sparse straight line brushes (wipers).

illustrate:

Pay attention to layer order and layer visibility

Finish!

Free materials (brushes)

Replenish:

The material library used in this article uses free brushes

Conclusion

I hope the above content can be helpful to beginners,

Have a clearer understanding of using brushes,

It is also beneficial to those who want to increase overall productivity.

at last,

Just get used to the combination of various brush characteristics and dots.

In order to achieve the purpose of creating personal style,

Let’s encourage each other and see you next time!
