Tips of the Month
Thank you for your posts!
Out of the Tips posted between July 1 - July 31, the writers of the following will be rewarded a cash prize or GOLD!
For the third “TIPS of the month” of 2019, we asked our users for their Tips on Effects to add that extra flare to their pieces, costume design, and hand lettering/line art. #Effect Tips made up the bulk of the entries, and we saw various tutorials on flames, light, smoke, aura, etc. For #Costumedesign, there were several entries that used Clip Studio Paint’s tools such as decoration brushes, 3D drawing figures, and tiling patterns to great effect. While #HandLettering had the least Tips out of the three, those that were posted were very informative, and we highly recommended them for beginners. Want to share your Tips too? We've just opened submissions for August’s Tips of the Month!
