Making Comic Panels

Clip Studio Paint is a program made with comic and manga artists in mind. As such, it has many features that are useful to comic artists, such as the screentone materials and the ability to easily create word balloons.

Also included for comic artists are a variety of tools and options for making frame border Layers. These frame borders make comic panels – the individual boxes that each piece of sequential art in a story is drawn inside of. These frame border layers can be created easily, edited in just a few clicks, and even set to mask out any content outside of the panel – which makes for a much easier drawing experience.

In this chapter, the following topics will be covered:

  • What are frame border layers?
