Brief Introduction
Beginners, hobbyists, students, & pros: learn a complete digital coloring workflow step-by-step from a pro colorist.Description
A Pro's Guide to Coloring with CLIP STUDIO PAINT is designed to teach you how to take advantage of this amazing app to add color to line art drawings or digital art. Each tool used and each stage of the process is broken down into lessons, so that you can easily follow along using methods I've honed over years working as a comic book colorist. These techniques can be used in almost any art style -- not just comics by the way.
Lessons are full of tips, tricks, and shortcuts from the basics of setting up layers and preparing line art to functions such as masking and correction layers. You'll be taken through all of the important program settings, how to setup up a line drawing, adding the base colors, adding light and shadow in a variety of ways, and how to use CLIP STUDIO PAINT's tools and functions in a mix of creative ways.
The method I'm teaching for adding light and shadow can be used in any lighting scenario, so you'll be able to take what you've learned in this course and apply it to your own art. I've also included my version of the finished exercise with all of the layers intact, so you can see exactly which colors I'm picking and how all of the layers work together to create one cohesive piece of art!
I'm also including my Auto-Actions as well as some basic tool presets for you to use, so you don't have to fiddle around with CLIP's many tool settings. They intimidated me for a while! Many of the coloring techniques taught in the course can be applied to other apps like Photoshop or Procreate as well. I've been a hardcore Photoshop user for many years, and the more I use CLIP, the more things I miss when I go back to Photoshop these days.
If you get stuck, you can always ask questions in the included discussion area, and I'll be there to help ASAP.
I look forward to seeing you in the course!
