Clip Studio Paint Reviews

I really appreciate the ecosystem of downloadable tools—especially brushes and textures—directly accessible through the platform or linked sources. Customizing the workspace, from window layout to shortcuts is seamless. And the auto-save feature of Clip studio paint has saved my progress more than once.

Visually appealing, but many valuable tools are hidden and navigation isn’t intuitive for newcomers.

With Clip studio paint’s built-in tools and the freedom to experiment directly on the canvas I work more efficiently. My academic presentations are now more visually engaging—and far more effective as teaching tools.

I really love how many tools and options that their suite has, and how much I can customize the layout of the program to suit my ever-changing needs. The option for cloud back-ups offers such a feeling of reassurance, knowing my work will still be there if something happens to my machine or my drives. I also love how community oriented it is, with the ability to buy or even obtain free materials, brushes and more from other creative or generous users. After some time to get familiar with the program, it is very easy and natural to use! Installing Clip Studio Paint was super simple as well, implementing it was no problem. This is my daily-use art program.

I don't enjoy that a lot of the juicy features are stuck behind the more expensive license, and I really dislike the change from perpetual licenses to yearly subscriptions. I also heard about some AI involvement in the newer updates, and I really don;t love that. They should know better

Clip Studio Paint streamlines my artistic flow and makes producing art so much easier; the number of tools it has makes it so much easier to be creative.

I love CSP for its customizable artboard. You can really personalize it to be something only you know. It also holds similarities to photoshop and illustrator which I already have experience in so it works out for me.

Nothing, The have a great community and best thing of all is you only have to pay for it one time. You can get their premium version which is monthly but you dont have to, you have the option of a one time price, which is awesome.

Having the use of completely rigged 3d models for positioning and posing to help nail the idea in my head. also the pen sensitivity settings are very in depth, so I can get my drawing pen feeling just right.

For me, Clip Studio Paint has unique pencil tools. I primarily use CSP for sketching and making clean lines. The Timelapse record option is an impressive feature that greatly aids me in recording my progress.

1. Lifetime license: It is not actually a lifetime license. You will be limited to version 2.0. To receive further updates, you need to subscribe monthly or annually.

2. Prior to the release of version 2, the previous versions worked smoothly on my laptop. However, since the release of the new version 2, I have been experiencing lag issues.

I have a future plan for a web-comic project. Clip Studio Paint offers great features for manga/comic creators.

I love all the features Clip Studio Paint offers, some of the features I love are the 3d models and all the assets that are free to use, also I love to accumulate clippy coins to get more Clip Studio Assets. I also love the Clip Studio Tips and The Contests offered by the company.

What I dislike is that the software is a bit heavy to run, it would be very useful to create a lite version of it, with as many features as the original version provides.

Clip Studio solves a huge issue that is to have an art software that offers a one time payment, and also includes many professional features for creating art masterpieces. I feel that Clip Studio is a very good alternative to subscription payment options.

This is for my Samsung Galaxy Tablet S7. It is my art and design studio on the go. It was an affordable program, the Samsung version of Procreate for Apple, and the reason I got my tablet. I can create wall-sized art in high resolution if I want. But what I like most is I have the access to the S Pen by Samsung and can create anything I want on my tablet. It is like Photoshop, GIMP, Inkspace, Krita, and more all rolled into one! I can create art anywhere in the world with just a tablet.

I had watched many videos about Procreate and how to design anything I wanted and in the videos, the program is so seemingly simple and the features are phenomenal. In this program, Clip Studio Paint, it has a lot more capabilities but that is what makes it so difficult. I have used it for almost a year and I am still learning. In one way it is like all the applications of all the art programs I have all together but clutters up the screen. I know the program well but there is so much to choose from and that makes the text and menu smaller to read.

My Lenovo desktop AIO beast of a touchscreen computer is loaded with art programs but they never had the right pen available because it is a gaming laptop. I got that because of the 4K and a 24-inch screen. I could never draw on the screen unless I used a mouse, which is not always easy. My Galaxy Tab having the S Pen solves that problem. I have a digital, working pen! I can design on the tablet and send the file to my computer and do what I van on a larger screen that requires only a mouse.

I love how easy it is to access all of the tools, brushes, poses, and many other items within the main panel. Everything is just a click away, and the best part is that it still doesn't feel crowded. I think that the pre-sized pencil brushes are also a great idea because it means less fiddling around so that more time can be focused on actually creating the art.

Clip Paint Studio has moved to the subscription-based model, which I'm definitely not a fan of. That being said, I try to look past this issue only because of the great tools the application provides to help beginner artists create beautiful art.

One of the features that I love the most is their poseable mannequin-like models. They act as a great reference when I'm trying to draw human figures, and having the ability to adjust the poses is a bonus. This is something you don't see that often in other illustration software.

I love the quick perspective tools in clip studio paint, I believe it's like no other program. I also love that there are so many free brush packages out there available to artist

Industry wise photoshop and illustrator are preferred over clip so there are times when I don't use it and to relearn the program takes some time

Try actually connecting with people in the community so far everyone has been really nice. I suggest playing around in the program first before trying anything complicated

Drawing quick boards or comics is super easy in clip studio.

The most helpful thing that caught my attention was how many brushes were available for my use. Yes, other drawing software offers brushes, but the difference with clip studio was the brushes they provided were so similar to what you would find in a traditional setting.

A few default keyboard shortcut keys for clipstudio was difficult to figure out at first. This led me to going into the settings to change it to what am most comfortable with. The second issue I encountered is clip studio animation timeline is very difficult to use if you dont have a guide to show you how it works. The animation timeline is not user friendly which will not allow you to easliy figure out how to work with it.

If you're looking for tools that give you any artistic look you desire, give this software a try, I promise you won't be disappointed with what you find.

Having brush and pencil tools that mimicked the look of the physical counterpart, made it easy for me to produce a specific traditional look to my drawings without having to go through all the tediousness of having to figure how the look I want in the edit tools section. Having it readily available to me saved me time when it was time to work.
