Thanks!

Glad I could help! Of course, you can ask. I don't think Photoshop has the same brush settings as Clip Studio Paint. I mean, it does have pressure sensitivity but the similarities stop there.

The Real G-Pen is set to pressure sensitivity. If you mean how it "snaps" to a point after each stroke, that is set in the "starting and ending" under the "Sub Tool Details". Check out this video where I go into detail on that setting: czcams.com/video/j_pcUErRWSk/video.html Thanks!

Sometimes it takes trial and error. I think a brush size of 10-17 works. But it also might depend on the size of the page you're using.

Thanks. It's Clip Studio Paint. 🙂

You're welcome.

Thanks! Chris did some alternate covers for my comic series Freaks & Gods! I love his style. He gave me permission to snag some images from his online album. I do have about 5-6 other pieces I'd like to ink lined up. In the meantime, I did ink this from Chris: czcams.com/video/yZGxoDalAgI/video.html

I'm so glad it helped! Thanks!

Thanks for the good idea. I'll see what I can do. Quick question though, when you say "add textures" do you mean tone or how I texture while inking?

@@chrisdreiermakingcomics I will be greedy and say both...lol I use CSP and I love learning all the tricks other artists use.

I like your honesty. LOL Thanks!

It's called Custom Hair Feathering Brush and it's available at my Gumroad store. chrisdreier.gumroad.com/l/towjno

Thanks!

Awesome! I have a video coming out next week where I ink the rest of this page!

Thanks! What's strange, is I've never seen this art before. It struck me! The moment I saw the four tentacles coming from the hood I thought of Cthulhu!

😀 Thanks for the sub!

Thanks! When I ink flames I try to be as loose as I can, I even hold my stylus lightly. The line weight is usually quite light and I vary the line weights only slightly to (hopefully) create shape. With fire, I'm not really concerned with weight or shadows. Basically, keep the lines flowing and don't think too much. I hope that helps. Let me know. 😀

@@chrisdreiermakingcomics sure did help my thinking process,thanks👌

You're welcome!

From what I've noticed there really is no functional difference. It all comes down to the settings for each. I have many tools called "brush" because I adjusted the settings to act more like a traditional brush (like I used back when I inked on paper). I created (or adjusted) my tools to fit the feel of tools I used as a traditional inker. That's how I see them, brush, nib, marker... I think Clip Studio Paint puts anything that makes a "smooth" line in a pen category. If that helps.

Thanks!

You should! Thanks much!

Thanks!

Manga has a different size than what I show. But everything I talk about in this video will work for a manga page but you'd need to change the canvas size, that's all. Maybe A4 or A5. Thanks!

I think that's true for everyone. We can all learn something new and push ourselves to get better.

Thanks!

Thanks

Yes, I use a Wacom tablet with no display. I started using a Wacom tablet in the early 2000s so I'm very used to it. But it really depends on what you're comfortable with -- with or without a display is up to you. In Clip Studio Paint you can rotate the canvas with "R" but that means switching back and forth between tools. However, an earier way is to hold down space bar & shift together and you can rotate. Once you release you are right back to the brush or pen you were using. And to return to the original positions double tap while holding space bar & shift together. I hope this helps!

Thanks! I have many videos here on YT that talk about brush settings and shortcuts. Here's one I did a few weeks back that talks about the basics including some short cuts. czcams.com/video/OWnkEyeVUFk/video.html

Thanks! Yes, it does take a lot of practice!

The first thing I would check is the page size. Is it 72, 144, 300, 600 dpi? The higher the better quality. I also change my ink layer settings to "Monochrome". When you zoom in while working the lines can get blurry, fuzzy. It's the program keeping the display (what you're looking at) low so it can make working easier. Try inking a piece and then exporting it with different size and resolution settings, just to see the difference. I hope this helps. And thanks for your kind words!

Any time! Thanks for watching!

Thanks. There are a few steps, too many to explain in a comment but I have a video that shows how. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/j_pcUErRWSk/video.html

Thanks! It's a lot of practice!

Thank you so much 😀

You're welcome!

You're welcome! As for the feathering. It comes down to your tablet's pressure sensitivity settings and the settings of the brushes you use. To be honest, if you leave everything at default they work great to start out. I have a video that explains how to create a "feathering" brush. You can check it out here if you'd like: czcams.com/video/j_pcUErRWSk/video.html Thanks!

I can't say. I've never used Ibispaint. Sorry.

There are too many steps to explain here but I made a follow-up video to this that explains everything. Check it out: czcams.com/video/j_pcUErRWSk/video.html

You're welcome!

That shouldn't be a problem. However, keep in mind that if something is just touching the trim when printed and trimmed it will run right up to the edge of the page. That might look strange or even like a mistake. Like a panel or a character's foot. I hope that makes sense. :)

Thanks for the question! I have a Wacom Intuos Pro size medium.

Thanks for the question! Anything important, ie all action, characters, dialogue & caption should stay within the "Live Area" or "safe area". Basically, all panels and whatnot. If you want your drawing to go off the page after it's printed (or bleed) draw past the trim line. The trim line shows where the book will be cut to the final dimensions. You don't want to place your panels or action too far to any side or top and bottom for fear that it would be trimmed or lost on the fold. I hope that this helps! Let me know.

@@chrisdreiermakingcomics Thanx! Much appreciated!!
