Hey bro just wanted to let you know we appreciate you putting up these tutorials and videos. They help all aspiring mangaka's, appreciate brother! Can't wait to see your video's in the future! Keep it up boss!!
Thank you for making this video, very clear and concise. I've been doing some research as I am old, just over 40, and have some time on my hands now with an Army pension, and haven't had much time over the last 20 years to devote to art. Now that I got some time on my hands I have decided my first foray into the world of digital art will be with a Wacom one, and then I needed to decide software. This video made it very clear that if comic or manga still is what I want to do, that Clip art is by far the better option in my situation.
Thank you for taking the time to watch this video! That's awesome to hear! From my personal experience, I just prefer Clip Studio Paint overall, not just for comics. A lot of the ink pens and brushes "feel better" to me in Clip Studio Paint. That is totally biased though, I know plenty of people who make great art with Photoshop and their custom brushes
I've grown up learning Photoshop as a photo editing tool and got really good at Photobashing. I do all my digital art in Photoshop but would like to try out other programs just to change things up.
Because you want to move over to digital for sanity reasons. At least that’s what I’m looking into this for lol. Also in the long ish run it’s cheaper.
Digital can still be useful after u scan ur pages into your computer, I also (unfortunately for my sanity) draw traditionally. Can’t believe I’m being called old fashioned at such a young age.
The main problems with clip studio paint is the limited text and the ruler; It still has so many more options for paging, drawing, and the feature to look at multiple pages seems helpful. So i think i'll wait for the next discount the get clip studio paint. Until then ill be drawing with my hand! Thank you soo much this was really helpfu! :D edit: I may also buy adobe ps to make the logo/ front cover of my manga.
Very good points! I do wish Clip would improve those features as well haha. I use PS for designing covers as well! But for everything else, I think Clip Studio is the best for making comics and manga! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
I mainly use Procreate to create my art and comics. I have a story I’m working on right now. I liked the whole comparison of your video you should do comparisons between Procreate and affinity photo in the near future
Just for reference though there is the option for text alteration you just need to click the wrench in the corner - it brings up so many more options. I don't know how I found it but it make it so much easier to alter the text. I don't know if this is new in an update, but it has been there for a while. :) In the newest update the have done features for webtoons too.
Thank you for sharing this! I was actually unaware about the wrench icon hiding more controls, I'll definitely have to look into that haha. It'd be amazing if it has everything I mentioned it missing lol. And I saw the new update! Clip Studio Paint is really just killing the game.
This video is so freaking helpful!! Thanks so much for this! I currently use Krita and Medibang for my art, but i have been looking for an upgrade. I have to ask, though, is Medibang better for dialogue settings than photoshop or Clip Studio?
There is an old expression. _"I'd rather have it and not need it, than to NEED it and not HAVE it."_ That is how I feel about Photoshop. There is a lot of great-software out there and many of them specialize in certain-areas. However with my experience using with Clip Studio, Corel Painter, Medibang, Autodesk Sketchbook, and Paint Tool SAI, they all lack "something." There isn't anything that those programs do that Photoshop _cannot._ It may not be as accessible, or convenient as some of the other programs, but it's in there somewhere. I think the major hang-up on Photoshop has nothing to do with the program itself, but the anti-consumer (in my opinion) subscription-model from Adobe. Right now I'm blessed to be able to afford paying the subscription. If that changes I will adapt. I much rather be in a position where if I'm creative something I'm not limited by the software in any way.
I would never ink in photoshop tho. No matter what you do with that program and what setting you tweak or brush you get the pens just never respond well on that lower end pressure curve.
Thank you for the insightful comment! You made some great points! I can definitely see where you're coming from, I love photoshop too lol. Personally, I cannot ink in photoshop for the life of me. I respect your view though, Photoshop is a powerful tool.
@@leedamato1597 Thank you for the comment! In Clip Studio Paint, there's ink pen specific tools. Personally, I think the "feel" and "pen sensitivity" reacts much better in Clip. It's super easy to go from thin to thick lines just by pressing a little harder, With photoshop, it's a bit harder to replicate that with their brushes. I can never get the same ease of transition from thick to thin when drawing in photoshop. I'm sure it can be done, I just prefer inking in clip studio!
I use Clip Studio Paint Pro and Medibang(along with Jump Paint) when I'm making comics and manga. I don't think Photoshop is bad, but in terms of authentic manga making, it feels very limited compared to Clip Studio Paint and Medibang.
Facts I just order my digital Art stuff couple days ago and I was worried which software that will help me with making manga and making comics in general and I’m glad to say I glad I pick clip Studio Paint Pro it’s worth the $60 bucks soon or later I will go to photoshop but after I master Clip studio paint pro I’m going to get the clip studio EX. Currently can’t get my review out until I have it.
Hey, great vid. Just wanted to point out, you can batch export in ps. Im lookin to try csp so dont know how much easier it is or not. Ps actions can be super powerful when you figure them out
Ah i see! Thanks for taking the time to clarify that, I had no idea! I agree, PS is SUPER POWERFUL. Keep us updated on how your experience trying CSP goes!
I'm a writer, my artist is currently working, I thought this would be the time to learn to draw comics myself. I do have a question, I am incredibly terrible at drawing, do you have a video for beginnings to get into drawing comics. Thank you and have a nice day.
Thank you for taking the time to share! At the moment, the closest video to help you might be my video covering Making Manga With "Bad Artwork." At the moment I haven't made any "how to draw" videos but I plan to in the future! Currently my videos all have to do with writing, formatting, and theory behind storytelling and comic making!
Thank you for commenting! I've never tried Sketchbook personally, if it isn't broke no point in changing though. As long as it works for you, then it does its job! Best of luck with your project!
Thank you for the comment! Personally, I've only ever used two art tablets in my life so my opinion might be a little biased lol. I will definitely add that idea to my list though and make it something like "if I were going to buy a tablet I would buy" kind of thing haha.
@@ClarkKulper Thank you for checking out my channel and commenting, I really appreciate it! My very first tablet was a Wacom Bamboo tablet. I couldn't draw on it for the life of me. Something about drawing on one thing and having to look up and see where my drawing appeared didn't work out for me. I luckily had supportive parents who bought me my first screen tablet many years ago that I still use today. My main tablet is the Wacom Cintiq 13HD. I love it a lot. I've seen people do amazing work with other brands like Huions, Ipads, etc. I was recently gifted an Ipad and I love how portable it is, so I really like it as a backup tablet. But for when I need to grind out a drawing and work for hours, my go to is a screen tablet like the Wacom Cintiq 13HD. The pen sensitivity and feel is unmatched.
I have clip studio paint for my new xp pen 24 artist 2k, thought it would be fun or as easy as drawing on procreate, nah, the shit is complicated, and I mostly draw in the eastern comic books style
As someone who has used csp since its release, I am definitely biased. I think Procreate is incredibly simplified compared to csp, so it's normal to feel like there's a lot going on I personally think csp has the best features for making comics, being able to see all of your layers, having access to the panel tools, ruler tools, screentone effects, word balloons etc Also the ability to see ALL of your pages and spreads right next to each other is huge CSP supports eastern comic style too! You can set the settings to bind from left to right and create a template using your favorite publishers print size For me at least, i'd always choose csp over procreate, at least for drawing comics
@@MonitorComics most definitely, procreate is mostly for poster and character in landscape, and i agree that csp is exactly what i need to make comic book, but i definitely tutorial videos to help me use it completely, just point me towards them.
@@Micaiatwork The Clip Studio Paint official UA-cam has some good ones to start off! They have guest artists do lessons there and you can look into each artist from there, some make tutorials on their own pages As far as my recommendations, Whytmanga, Mar Brunet, Nadiaxel, SomeNormalArtist, and Loading Artist have some good ones! There's a video for every topic so if you have a specific question, there should be a video for it! (panels, effects, print margins, easy setup, coloring, etc)
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! I'm actually a graphic design student in my 3rd year at University, so I've had to use Photoshop and Illustrator as well! As you said, they can get the job done if you really want them to. Each has its own pros and cons like I like Photoshop CC's Text Tools and Guide Rulers a MILLION TIMES more than Clip Studio Paint's. Despite that, I've never had a program ink, as well as Clip Studio Paint, does. It also has built-in features for effects, panels, speech bubbles, etc. It's basically built for comic making,, and that's the main reason I think it's the best option. Photoshop is definitely my second choice though! I'll prob make a video in the future going over tools I like from each program! It all comes down to personal preference though! Thanks again for the comment!
On Desktop it is a ONE TIME PURCHASE! It ALWAYS goes on sale throughout the year! The Ipad version of Clip Studio is a MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION for some reason. I would never recommend the Ipad version because I hate monthly bills lol

An underrated channel.
I appreciate the nice comment!
I dont make arts but i like product comparison videos
Thank you for taking the time to check this one out then! I really appreciate it!
You can change the leading and kerning, you have to click on the eye icon to add it
Just clicked all of those right now LOL. Thank you for taking the time to comment that! I was still unaware of that feature!!
This video is so freaking helpful!! Thanks so much for this!

Photoshop has brush stabilization... it's the 'smoothing' setting. Other than that gg for your work on the video.
Clip Studio Paint also has brush/pen stabilization! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leaving a comment! I really appreciate it!
Is it possible to do a video on writing a successful comedy? (Examples include KochiKame, Bobobo, and Dr Slump.)
Binge watching before you become famous

@@MonitorComics Thanks, I'll check it out.
i recommend tutorials tbh
I stopped using Clip Studio for a long time, I am currently using Photoshop. I want to know, is Clipstudio freeze and crash frequently?
What are your thoughts on Adobe illustrator ?
I'm only using sketchbook..I don't know how to used CSP.
Thank you for commenting! I've never tried Sketchbook personally, if it isn't broke no point in changing though. As long as it works for you, then it does its job! Best of luck with your project!
Intersteting i use krita dnt have to worry about cash plus all features
Love Krita! It's my go to recommendation for free programs! Super good for being free!
7:40 Gray colours LOL, see what you did there
OH

That eminem shady is fire
hey monitor. if i want to publish manga to manga plus creators, do i need to do it digitally?
No! As long as the file is clear and readable you can upload it! For example taking a clear photo of your traditional pages on your phone or scanner
Is medibang good for it?I use medibang but not sure if it’s as good as the programs
Not as good as clip studio. But still good if you don't have clip studio.
@@simayi1083 thank you
Hey, where do you publish your manga?
Fonso Huggins many places but what kind of manga do u want to make
@@abooaloobade3074 Any kind, I'm also interested in making it a webcomic, because I live in Usa and I don't think I'll be visiting Japan anytime soon.

Hi, what are you using illustrator for? Since it's a vector software.
Is clip studio a one time purchase or monthly
On Desktop it is a ONE TIME PURCHASE! It ALWAYS goes on sale throughout the year!
The Ipad version of Clip Studio is a MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION for some reason. I would never recommend the Ipad version because I hate monthly bills lol
Hey what about Mediabang paint
Medibang is good too! Especially the Jump Paint version! Out of all of the free software I think I like Krita the best though!
2024 Aug Clip Studio paint $70 CAD Perpetual license

Is paint tool sai free?
Nope
Procreate isn't free :(
He meant it has a one time purchase.
I just wanna draw my shitty comic book and post it online for no one to see 😂
That's valid!!
Try krita first
I like Krita a lot!
