Are you a fan of custom brushes for Clip Studio Paint? I know I am! They save a ton of time and can really open up some new ideas when utilizing them. If nothing else, they are just plain fun to use!

I have been creating brushes for years now. I started in Photoshop about 15 years ago but quickly feel in love with Clip Studio Paint’s brush engine. It is the absolute best on the market so far. Not only does it have a supperior use and control of the “Ribbon Effect” it also supports full color brushes. As well as controling the two primary colors with the Foreground and Background swatches. Super effective in my opinion!

I have two primary sets for Clip Studio Paint / Manga Studio 5. They are the “RAM – Manga Studio 5 / Clip Studio Paint – Inking Set” and “Clip Studio Paint – Manga Studio 5 – Digital Painting Brush Pack.” I started by creating Inking Brushes for Comics. Then I realized that I could create all sorts of time saving effects. Brick patters, cross-hatching, hair and fur, power effects, and the list goes on.

The new brushes that I just added are focused on repetitive patterns or “Ribbon Effects”. Things like Chain Links but with a comic style line art applied to them. Or my latest brush… Spider-Webs! I draw Spider-man a lot so with will save me years of webbing! 🙂

Here is an image of Spawn that I drew in the Procreate app and then added my custom Chains Brush in Clip Studio Paint.
