This class is a brief introduction to the illustration program Clip Studio Paint (CSP). This class will deconstruct the user interface of CSP to focus on the essential tools needed to start drawing.

This class is aimed at beginners that want to make the move from Photoshop, or those that want to explore a new program in a quick and easy way.

If you want to make manga, comics, doodles, lineart, paintings, this class will teach you how to set up your canvas and show you the essential parts of the program that will help you get to the hardest part of drawing: making that first brushstroke!

This is not a drawing class, but there will be a class created for that soon. A free trial version is available on their website. I will be making comparisons between PS and CSP, throughout, as well as describing how using a digital art program like CSP can mimic traditional materials like a sketchbook and art box.

CSP is a cheaper alternative to Photoshop and Illustrator that often goes overlooked, yet it is just as powerful with a little bit of elbow grease!

It will be available for the public for the first month, and you can get two months for free if you use my link to sign up, too!

This class is a brief introduction to the illustration program I’ve been using for a while now: Clip Studio Paint. My aim is to deconstruct the user interface of CSP for someone who has never used a drawing program, is just starting with digital art, or just anyone who’s curious about how to navigate all those shiny, tiny buttons.

I’ve learned a lot from my first class (Discover Your Cartoon Style) and it took me less time and stress to do this second one. I’m looking forward to improving that first class sometime soon, and adding a follow up to this class before the year is over, too.

If you have any constructive criticism, advice, or would like to encourage me to make more, feel free to do so!

Here’s an intro to this class:
