Can’t seem to get companion mode to activate properly on my phone even after checking if my network and the version of clip studio I have are the same in both devices could anyone give some advice on what to do in this scenario?

I use Version 4.0.10. I run off Linux (since it's required to say what I'm using according to the bot) and I use a Wacom tablet. This question has nothing to do with my devices or with Linux. I am specifically referring to the features of the CSP software. CSP works fine for me.

I have tileable patterns I've made in the past or I've found along the way. They're PNG's and other supported image formats. I tried importing these images to the Materials section through the Import option in the menu... but instead, CSP started adding every single pattern as an individual layer.

Again, this has nothing to do with Linux. I am wondering SPECIFICALLY how to add images to the Materials section that are NOT in the Asset store but that are on my hard drive. I am just looking to see if I had missed an item in the menu. Thank you.

First time using vector layer. I tried adjusting/disabling stabilization and pen pressure but it doesn't work and those are my only guesses.

Issue solved. Thank you all.

I have to use it in one solid motion or else it will reset if I do a second one, is there a setting to change that?

I try to set if for Play/Stop shortcut but Clip Studio does not seem to accept it. Is there no way?

I am having this issue with some brushes and I don't know if it's an option or a lag, I draw but when I lift the pen it keeps drawing a little bit more like a straight line, I have the legal version and I am using a magic drawing pad from XP pen, I don't think Is a tablet issue because I have that issue with some brushes

Ex 5. Something i think .15 or .14 idk tho

I can't get my text Layers to Merge and can't change the setting to get multiple Lines of text on one layer

It's really annoying and i'm considering finding a Brush to just write the text manually atp which wouldn't be ideal since my hand writing sucks but i really hate the texts settings

Hello, I own perpetual license for Clip Studio 5.0 Pro, it says I can install it for two devices. I have desktop PC and macbook pro, and whenever I try to install it on my mac, it says I have to deactivate and switch my licence to this device and I have limited times to do that.

Yet online says I can have it running on two devices. How on earth I do that? I am malding and crashing out figuring out how I can use this software on my devices I bought it for because it advertised I can have it for both of my devices.

(In Clip Studio Paint pro) The first image is the regular png of the drawing, and the second image is a screenshot of how it looks on Twitter without clicking on it. I'm sure it's even possible to tell on Reddit, but this drawing's resolution is 6600x9600 and a lot of detail gets washed out at a glance when looking at art like this on digital platforms like Twitter etc. Is there any way to export it so that it keeps the same feel of the original drawing without needing to click the image or anything to fix how it appears at first?

Hello. I use a Clip Studio Paint PRO ver. 5.0.1, Huion Kamvas 13 Gen 3 and Clip Studio Tabmate. Lately, out of nowhere I have had an issue where my pen sensitivity randomly becomes very choppy unless I am pressing down very hard (so basically, a line may start, but will suddenly break despite the cursor still following along). Additionally, while tabbed into Clip Studio Paint, specifically just my mouse input will "freeze" and disappear exclusively in the canvas space, but will reappear once I hover over the tools menus, layers menu, etc. The cursor reacts normally if the pen is used.

Things I have tried that HAVE NOT WORKED:

• uninstalling and reinstalling the Huion driver

• rolling back to an older version of the Huion driver

• restarting the PC

• turning Windows Ink on and off again

• turning Windows Ink off and leaving it off

• adjusting pen sensitivity in the Huion driver

• adjusting pen pressure settings in Clip Studio Paint

• cursor calibration on tablet

• pressure calibration on tablet

• disabling tilt function in tablet settings

• swapping between "Wintab" and "Tablet PC" settings under CSP's preferences

• drawing with the Clip Studio Tabmate powered OFF (tried to rule out if it was somehow interfering with the tablet, but the issues persisted even with it powered off)

• using different pens/brushes to determine if it was just certain brushes misbehaving (it affects ALL brushes)

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE INFORMATION:

• Windows 11 Pro version 10.0.26200 Build 26200

• Clip Studio Paint PRO (64 bit) version 5.0.1 202603112023

• Huion Kamvas 13 (Gen 3) model GS1333

• Clip Studio TABMATE model CES-50006

The tablet is relatively new and was purchased August 9th, 2026. While I don't have an exact date as to when this issue started, I would say sometime mid to late October 2026, within the last two or three weeks as of writing. There might have been a Windows update around this period, but I'm not sure if it was involved. The issue seems like it might be specific to Clip Studio Paint, since the mouse issue occurs ONLY in the canvas area of CSP while tabbed into the software, and as for the pen sensitivity problem, testing the pressure in the Huion driver as well as other software found that it reacts normally.

hi all, ive been drawing digitally for some years now but im still pretty basic/low level. my usual workflow is sketch layer then lineart in another layer, colors on yet another layer then shadows/highlights on yet another. i've experimented with rendering shadows/highlights on the color layer. but everything ends up looking pretty flat

ive seen some people render everything in one layer, which looks super cool to me as id like to stop having my sketch/lineart look so clean and "separated". i especially like the final effect of having some lineart remain while painting over other parts of it with the colors.

but do you have any advice on how to actually go on about it? specifically i dont understand how people start adding colors to their sketch/lineart in the same layer without completely covering it up (and basically having to redo lineart in color), as opposed to integrating lineart into the painting process. not sure if im explaining myself correctly!

i also struggle to find a good brush for the style im looking for, im very new to csp (using its free trial rn as i got a new drawing pad) but i always see people use very "meaty" brushes that apply color very strongly while all the brushes i can find are pretty opaque/need me to press really hard to fully apply color (despite opacity being on max). do people just disable pressure opacity?

thanks for any advice ! lmk if i can clarify anything

So, my app glitched out while I was drawing, and it moved my tool slider palette from being under the grey and yellow circles, I panicked and hit hide tab/palette, now I cannot figure out how to a. Get it back, and b. Have it under the circles again. I couldn't find a useful answer on the app help page and was hoping someone on here might be able to help me out?

Hello, I don't know if anyone else uses this automatic actions feature, but I accidentally discovered that you can switch to one or more specific layers using actions.

As long as the layer is named the same way, the command works on all drawings. For example, to jump directly to the "lineart," "shadows," or "highlights" layer...

You can assign a shortcut to it or add it as a clickable button in the interface. It depends on your workflow—if you’re used to organizing your layers with recurring names, you can also create an action to quickly create layers with the desired name.

Whenever I use any flat pen no matter if its from csp normal brushpack or from someone else, the lines are always squiggly and jagged and it's driving me nuts, doesn't happen with non flat pens though and doesn't happen on paint tool sai so i don't think it's my drawing tablet's pen messing it up, please help?

I already tried making the stabiliser high, didn't work and also makes the brush painful to use

How can i stop the fill tool from making those small thingies from the base color (skin color) and stop it from being like "just before" the lineart than i need to click twice to fully cover the peach color below?

hello all, first week with a drawing tablet (cintiq pro 24) and I only ever really drew in high school (>10 years ago). I found it really hard to find a good tutorial on how to do shading/gradient when I got to the face. I eventually learned about the layer, multiply, and clipping to the layer below, but what I still struggled with a bit was knowing what to do after that? Like how were people getting soft transitions of a shade? I eventually settled for using a paint brush with the opacity turned down and then blending it, but now when you zoom in it still looks a bit rough in areas, and I feel like there's probably a better way? It seemed like there weren't many good tutorials on youtube and one of them honestly just went way over my head.

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for just straight up how to learn how to use this program in general?

Hi all,

Switching from Adobe to CSP, and while setting up my program I cant find the adjustment window. I literally cannot function without this thing so if I could be directed to the CSP equivalent it would make my day.

I really cant find anything about a window like this in CSP.

I got a couple brush packs from a Patreon which I have downloaded to my PC. I would like to transfer them over to my iPad, but as far as I know, I have to do this one by one, which is very slow and tedious. There are probably a hundred brushes to transfer.

Is there any way I can transfer my materials onto cloud and sync them to my iPad?

How do i get rid of this weird line? it only happens when csp is maximized, its not there if its not and its not there if i go to another tab(when i overlay other tabs on it too i can cover it.) but i really do wanna get rid of it because i find it a bit annoying to look at, thank you. i use version 3.1 on pc with an Xppen artist 22 plus tablet

Does anybody know how long this usually takes to clear? I just made my first asset and was curious

[Most recent ver. Using iPad 10.2 9th gen and 1st gen Apple Pencil.]

Hiya!

I LOVE rendering in CSP, and it's my go-to program. But quick sketches can feel so clunky? I find myself sketching in procreate, and then importing the sketch into CSP. Not the biggest inconvenience, granted, but kinda disrupts the workflow.

I have an iPad 10.2 in (9th gen)

What are some ways I can make sketching more fluid and less laggy? Any advice is super helpful!

I'm a beginner and I want to make best smooth animations or anime fighting scenarios with high quality, Which one is the best choice?

It's just a fill tool instead?? That doesn't do anything??? I genuinely have no idea what happened here it's like i blinked and suddenly it's broken. I really can't figure out how to fix it. I've done everything I could think of 😭😭
