Chapter 4: Introducing Clip Studio Paint Brushes
In the analog world, drawings are made on paper or canvas with pencils, ink, paint, brushes, and many other tools. In the digital world, too, we have a myriad of tools—many that imitate real-world art supplies and techniques. In Clip Studio Paint, the bulk of these mark-making tools fall under the heading of brushes, which includes sub-categories such as pencils, pens, markers, pastels, oil paints, and more. We're going to get familiar with the toolbox of brushes so that when we get to drawing, we will be familiar with the default tools and how we can change these tools to suit our individual style of working.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Understanding the categories of Clip Studio Paint brushes and navigating them
- Introduction to the Clip Studio Paint brush engine
- Exploring the tool properties and settings
- Copying, saving, and restoring brushes
