Hi, in this tutorial, you will learn how to use Clip Studio Paint’s official assets to your advantage to create a beautiful work of art. This tutorial is for experienced graphic designers, illustrators, and users of Clip Studio Paint.

 

We will be using some of these default assets from Clip’s official profile.

 

Check them out here!

 

 

Here is an article on how you can import assets into Clip Studio Paint.

Beginning the project

First, begin with a new canvas.

 

Go to File, New, at the top of the application. Make sure that the file size is adjusted to fit for any post on social media. Mine for instance is for Instagram. The file size is typically 1000 by 1000 pixels.

 

Be sure to include a resolution of 300 dpi so that the image is high-quality.

Next, turn on record timelapse so that you can keep progress of your painting and post the final video on social media.

Once done, you will see a blank canvas. Next, go to “Window”, “Material”, then “Material:Download” and drag in the “Evening Sky” material from Clip Studio Paint’s official assets. Adjust the image to your liking.

 

 

Next, drag in the 3D pose, “Wear Socks” from Clip Studio Paint’s official assets.

 

Adjust the 3D model to your liking.

Once done, then lower the opacity on the 3D model’s layer to your liking.

Starting the Drawing

As a tip, start by creating group layers for new elements of your work and new layers inside of them. Be sure to name your group layers and layers.

 

For example, if it is a sketch drawing, name the layer “Sketch”.

With the opacity lowered on the 3D model layer, create a new layer for the sketch.

 

Use the “Brush Pen 01” asset from Clip Studio Paint’s assets for the drawing, or any other tool that you would like.

 

It is good to use stock images as a reference.

 

Two good sites to use are “Pixabay”, and “Adobe Stock”.

 

 

Be sure to add simple shapes for the bear.

Create a new layer for the cloud. Use the “Bubbles (Pink)” brush for the cloud. Adjust the cloud and its colors to your liking.

Once done, blur the cloud. I chose to do radical blur.
