What brush do you use?
In this tutorial I will show you how to modify your own brushes in Clip Studio Paint. Starting from the very basics to more complex ones. This way you can customize your dream brush so it fits your artistic needs.

We will start with the default G-pen, and change its attributes so we can make 7 custom brushes that we will use on our daily professional production. Join me in the journey to your Perfect Brush!

  • @Spamkromite
    For me, I'm using Marc Brunet's free brushes. They were my first and really they are super fun to use. I don't like to have more brushes than what I will use but I'll download yours and see what I can incorporate to my set of brushes.
  • @twood12301
    I'm showing this to all my friends. I've been using clip studio for years and you are doing an amazing job at clarifying things I never would have thought to use. You are not only a great artist but also a great communicator and do a good job condensing concepts into a video.
  • @soozidarling5629
    I was a little unsure about making my own brush tips, but your tutorial was really good!! Now I have ideas for more brushes I can make. Love this!
  • @kalismith2456
    You have done a really good job on this video. really like how in-depth you gone in showing us how to create our own brushes.
  • @mawcha
    again how do you make such AMAZING tuts for things i need in csp? the animation ones, the blending modes and post prod ones, now brush customization?! if i knew you irl id give you the biggest hug ever :D
  • @loki_vr
    So many useful tips! Thank you very much Manu, you helped me a lot =)
  • @skyawesomeris
    Just getting into CSP and learning digital drawing. Ur vids are really helpful and i feel lucky to come across this channel honestly. Thanks for ur content!
  • @JoyceW-Art
    Your contest video is actually the reason I found out about this channel! And this video was so useful! Indeed the best brush to use is different for everyone, cause everyone makes art in their own way. Heck, most of the brushes I use are ones that came with CSP, or are slightly adjusted versions of it
  • I literally subscribed and watch your content for the hilarious transitions and comedic flair you tie in. chef's kiss
  • @Willsing7
    Excellent intro to CSP brushes! This told me everything I needed to know! Thanks for posting!
  • @Clayway.
    Your channel is THE best resource a beginner artist using CSP could ask for. Will be eagerly awaiting your next post!
