Hello! I´m Abbirelly, a digital/traditional artist from Perú. I´ve been using Clip Studio Paint since 2013 and I have some tips to share with you! You can watch the youtube video or read through this article to find out how to create brushes and add texture to your paintings!

1. Let's create the file and prepare it to make the tip of our new brush. Clic "New" icon (or File>New) and type the following:

• Type the name or your brush creation file.

• Put the canvas size at "1500 x 1500" pixels.

• Type 144 for dpi (Dots per pixel).

• Change the basic expression of color to “Gray” option.

• Click “Ok” to create your new canvas.

2. Now we are going to create the folder where we will place our new brush tip!

• Click on the “Materials” icon (If you don´t have it go to Window>Material>choose any).

• Click on the icon “Create a material folder”.

• Type the name of your folder and then just minimize the materials window by clicking oon the materials icon.

 

3. It's time to create our pencil brush tip!

• Play with the different brushes that are included in Clip Studio Paint.

• Use the following Clip Studio paint brushes to create this brush: real pencil, designer pencil, and dry watercolor.

• I highly recommend to leave some blank spaces so you get a better texture for your brush.

 

4. Let´s register your new creation!

• Let's go to Edit> Register Material> Image.

• Type the name of your brush and check the "Use for brush tip shape" box.

• Select your folder to place your material.

• Click "Ok" to register the new brush tip.

 

5. Let´s copy a brush so we can apply our own brush tip

• Select the Real Pencil brush.

• Select the "Create copy of sub tool" icon

• Type the name and click "Ok".

 

6. Let's modify with the Sub Brush Details. I´m going to create a pencil brush that blends as you sketch!

• Click on “Show” Icon to see the Sub Brush Details

• Go to “Brush Tip”

• Click on the “Add brush tip shape” Icon

• Find your brush tip on your folder, select it and then click “Ok”

• Delete the previous brush tip!

Let´s try to make this brush:

Sub Tool Window > Ink:

• Opacity: 62

• Check > Color Mixing >Blend

• Amount of paint > 32

• Density of paint > 77

• color Stretch > 76

 

Sub Tool Window > Brush tip:

Sub Tool Window > Stroke

• Gap > Fixed Icon >14.7

• Repeat method > Repeat

 

Sub Tool Window > Texture

• Texture density > 39

• Scale Ratio > 223

7.It´s time to paint with your new brush!

• Create a new canvas, but this time change the basic expression of color to the "color" option

• You can also change it 300 dpi so you´ll get a better resolution for this artwork

• Start painting!

8. Let´s add the final touch with a traditional texture!

• Open the Materials Window and click on "Monochromatic Pattern"

• You can choose from a large variety of textures!

• Place one of the texture on your canvas and click on "Change layer color"

• Pick a soft orange color and then change the blending mode to "multiply"

• Make final color adjustments Layer > New Correction layer > Tone Curve
