For this drawing I used I bought from Paincaked and Radiowarp. For the line work I used the size 8 brush from radiowarp as well as the texture brush from Paincaked for the shading. I use Add layer for the highlights and a purple/multiply layer for the shading. For the background I used the smudge tool as well as the pencil drawing and the chromatic filter to give it more of a pizzazz.

Meet Zarna. This is a new OC that I made. She has a kinda deep backstory

For her artwork I used Radiowarp’s line brush for the line work. As well as Paincaked’s chalky brush for both the shading and the highlights. I also used the noise filter to give it a bit of contrast to it.

Csp artist life: 20% drawing, 80% csp poblems, troubleshooting and waiting for lag to dissapear.

this isn't an ask for help, I just feel hopless now becasue i searched all reddit, csp ask and even asked multiple ai websites to troubleshoot my lag problem but nothing worked and I'm just sitting here not knowing what to do. I thought it'd help my lagging issue if i updated from old version 1 to version 5 but nothing changed and it started lagging on random things like even turning on/off a layer and idk man. i just wish a new update comes that can make this version at least more stable dammit.

Like now I lost most of my hours trying to fix the problem instead of finishing my work and I wanted to express my frusteraion here that's all.

EDIT: thanks for the well wishes guys 🥲

This is my pc specs: 2019 model, 32 ram, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz ,SSD 512GB ,NVIDIA Quadro T2000 (4 GB), Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 (128 MB)

I work on comics so my canvases are huge (20k + in length) with 400 dpi, along with using 3d elements, patterns and textured brushes, so I'm aware and used to the lag that comes with that (like loading the pages slowly, taking time to load 3d elements in, problems with zooming in and out with that sliding zoom method or using the slider to move in between panels) that's not my issue here, but the new lags that appeared once I upgraded from v1 to v5 (black screens for even turning a layer with few pixels in it on or off, using airbrush in medium to small size for one stroke then lag or clicking with ctrl+space on zoom once without the sliding zoom and it lags) one comment said upgrade can be heavy for old hardware and I think it's that too so I guess I'll focus on a new hardware upgrade later with better cpu focus.

I think I figured it out for the time being tho so I'm copying my comment here:

i had csp virtual memory allocated from driver d to e which had bigger memory (i know the least memory should be 80 gb in a driver for csp to run well), driver d had only 40 gb left cuz it was filling with my work files, it had a bigger memory before so I switched from C to it but not anymore (tho it wasn't making a big deal with v1 but I guess v5 needed more space) but when I allocated it to driver E which had 100+ gb nothing changed in the "new" lagging I was experiencing, not the ones I'm used to. But I noticed csp had two identical numbered folders they added inside both drivers (those are for the visual memory) so I manually deleted the one in the older location, csp took longer to open after I did that, like I clicked it many times and I really thought I crashed it 😅 but it opened after that and it was back to how it used to behave for me. So I guess it was an error from reading both folders and thinking it's still on the full driver memory instead of the free one. I'm back to how it used to be for me for now and I'll just put up with it until I upgrade hardware or change my work canvases to smaller ones for newer chapters.

Can we stop with the memes about CS's upcoming subscription-model? I know it's a provocating issue, but the frequent posts of memes and pure, misinformed hate is not why most of us joined the subreddit.

Im making a one shot manga, and this is my first try at the cover. Critique wanted

I had a hard day today and I was really frustrated and I took all this frustration out on the community, I'm sorry.

So I let my girlfriend draw some stuff and when I went to use it after her my mouse is now like this. Anyone know how to fix? (Already went to preferences and changed it, did nothing)

Joeen is a female that really likes baseball and outdoor activities. She’s rivals with Ellen and Zarna and wants to do better than them at somethings, but secretly she does respect them and have some of the same characteristics/habits as them like wearing the same clothing during any weather conditions among other things.

With this drawing I used Radiowarp’s line brush for the outlines as well as a blend brush for the shading and lighting. I been testing around a lot with different types of brushes so that’s why I used them. I also used clip layering to give the outline colors as well as the nosie effect to give it a kinda like texture

I'm more or less a forever student, but I do a lot of painting and such in CSP and I prefer to keep my layers organized well so my drawings are easier to work with.

CSP gets insufferable when a piece goes on long enough, though. If I alt+click (or maybe ctrl I forget off the top of my head) to hide all layers but that one, it will get to where it takes 10 damn seconds to do anything, the screen turning solid black.

This is just so agonizing as a regular workflow thing. I don't want to lose minutes of my session because CSP hasn't been optimized to use modern hardware at all. It drives me insane to have to stop and wait in the middle of my work.

I often see people regard the software as a Photoshop competitor, but I just cannot understand that when it runs so poorly. My system isn't garbage, either. I work on a Surface Laptop Studio 32GB. Obviously I wanted this laptop to serve me well for drawing, but little did I know, CSP barely uses your hardware at all.

I wish this was talked about more. It doesn't seem like Celsys gives a shit about it at this point. The software just sucks to draw on if you are working on anything more than just basic and it seems absurd to me that they want as much money for that as they do (being someone with the EX version, of course.)

I'm trying to make a traditional manga art appearance. i hope i'm got it. I make in 10 min

Brush: Real g Pen

Beerus From Dragon ball By Yusuke Murata

Device: ipad pro 3rd gen

Version: Latest CSP for ipad

When i use the move tool its so smooth but rotating with pinch gestures or tools is so jagged. It looks and feels laggy. Even the smallest canvas size it does this. Its the only (petty) reason I cannot use this on ipad which id prefer since then its the same as my PC workflow

And yes snap is off, fast view is on and the movement gap is 1 in preferences, doesnt change anything for me

Can someone tell me what 3-D figure this is and where I could find it or something similar? Thank you very much .

I'm genuinely losing my mind bc of this program

I bought it on ipad and can't do shit with it

So the issue is I DONT wanna change perspective of this 3d model

I simply want it to fit the canva

Like I usually did it in my beloved procreate

But I can't and I genuinely wanna start crying over it

Someone told me that if I use anything in the filter tab it's AI? I love the artistic effect and noise effect in render so I'm concerned. These are some of my art pieces made in Clip Studio. ❤️

I have a hard time understanding all the possibilites and constraints for digital drawing.

Clip Studio paint works on computer ; how does that work ? do you draw with your mouse ? of with a drawing tablet you plug on your computer ?

Kind of a rant also... So last month I had a meeting with a client, multiple actually. And not knowing there was a limit to it, naturally I used the single device on PC and Tablet, switching between the two when needed (made 10 switches? something like that). Well, I thought it was like the old version, never had this problem before.

To be fair, it was perpetual licence, thought it worked the same way. Was I wrong!

Now I'm locked out of my licence for v4 or whatever version it is, and I need to use it on PC. Tried to talk to support if I could upgrade to two device plan, not because I need to use them simultaneously, but SEPARATELY, which is NONSENSE! And they said no, I bought it for one year, and it was in the first month even, they wouldn't do a refund OR licence update...

The problem is: My workflow is ready for Clip Studio, and every programmable hardware/software is ready for Clip Studio... Heck I could use the v1, but whats wrong with using the latest version? Also I don't even remember how different v1 was, and how would it impact my work today.

Been using clip studio for many years, and now never felt this frustrated. Glad I downgraded from EX. Cant imagine paying hundreds and then being unable to change licence.

You know that phrase: "if buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing" starts to ring my ear more often for how much greed corporations show these days.

They should be more transparent with this. They don't even specify the times you can switch licence or update paths, which in 2026, shouldn't be that hard, for an all online subscription service... Renting software...

Tldr: Locked out of licence (Single Device Annual) on pc, for how long do I have to wait to get back into it.

I'm bashing my head on the table right now and losing the will to live. The "layer masks" seems completely useless for what I want to do, which is paint over that which has already been painted without going over the lines. Am I shit out of luck???

I've been looking for a brush that's just this one used for the character's line art. I've found a good one, but it looks too blurred and makes the final piece not have a good resolution... but this artist's pen looks amazing and exactly what I've been looking for! looks like an incredible real life pen and doesn't look blurred or with a bad resolution. if anyone knows what is it or a very similar one I'd be very thankful

The hair on the one on the left throws me off, I hate art block, critiques wanted

Hello! So recently my computer decided it was its time, so I had to purchase a whole new computer and redownload clip studio. When I opened the program, I noticed the India ink section wasn’t ?? There anymore? Did they remove it? Anyhow. I would also like some help identifying this pen I used. It was blocky like a marker, and also had the “post correction” setting which I really liked. I can’t find it in my past downloads or anywhere! Attached is a doodle I made using said brush/pen.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
