#clip studio paint help

[godbirdart]

Hey Tobias, aside from your incredible artworks themselves, I also absolutely love the detailed abstract backgrounds you sometimes put on portraits and I've been wanting to try my hand at something in the same vain. I was considering trying Illustrator for those, since I normally use CSP and while I love it, it kinda feels pretty horrible at anything geometrical and shape-y, so I was also wondering what software you use for them if you'd like to share!

oH you mean like the geometric shapes in these?

that is 1000% Clip Studio Paint. I use it for, quite literally, all of my work. Pixel art, illustrations, animations - it's all Clip.

The upper backgrounds of those pieces are done using the Symmetrical Ruler and Shape tools, as well as maybe a brush or two for flair.

The Symmetrical Ruler is under the Ruler tool:

it lets you draw symmetrically on the canvas like this [the purple line appears so you know where your mirrors meet]

note: sometimes your brush needs to have snapping enabled to work with a ruler tool - especially if you're using a fancy custom brush from the assets shop.

you can fix this by going into your brush's settings [clicking the little wrench on your selected brush] and then toggle on Enable Snapping under the Corrections section:

Regarding the Shapes tool,

It's technically called the Figure tool but I'm calling it the Shapes tool. For those unfamiliar, Clip doesn't come with preset shapes beyond your standard lines, rectangles, and circles; BUT you can easily create your own triangles and hexagons and whatnot with the Polygon subtool.

Change the number of corners to that of the shape you want and tada! SHAPE. The number of corners can go up to 32 - at which point you're essentially just making a vaguely chunky circle so I mean, have fun.

I'm gonna pause here because this post is already getting a bit long, but if there's somethin specific you want me to elaborate on feel free to ask.

Crap I deleted the wrong Post😅😅😢😭😢😭😭😢😭

I hate when I do this. I was going between phone and computer spending this time trying to fix something

(Any hints in clip studio paint by the way as to if you paste and image just make it automatically fit the canvas instead of dragging it... just curious cause honestly I spent to long trying to research it on my phone when I meant to fix this one thing)....

Well apparently I'm a duffus... 😅🤣😂Lol I mean it in good humor not putting myself down.

So I meant to delete the image off here not on my S.t.r.y. pAge... Ugh this is so annoying....

Can't believe I guess when I swore I changed I accidentally on my profile had clicked my S.T.R.Y. profile. Hence why this mess started....

So sorry to anyone who did like it, you may see it again later or tomorrow. I was trying to fit it into the suggested post times. Now that has sorely gone out the window since I goofed up instead of deleting the copy I deleted the original.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
