Custom Brushes by RAM – Clip Studio Paint / Manga Studio 5

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.

So hopefully you can see how these brushes can be very useful as well as huge time savers. This is just how I use them so feel free to experient with your own creative illustrations!

Digital Painting in Manga Studio 5 – Character Design

Digital Painting in Manga Studio 5 – Character Design

In this Course you will learn How to Create a Fantasy Art Character from the rough sketch all the way to the finished paint work. We start with the drawing process and I explain how to make changes to the concept and not get too worried about everything being perfect in the beginning. There are lots of ways to edit the work and keep pressing forward within Manga Studio 5 / Clip Studio Paint.

We will then cover how to lay in the base paint work and use that to create and save our selections. You will learn how to use the layers to aid in your painting process, as well as how to work in a non-destructive approach.

Once the foundational information is in place we will begin to apply our digital painting effects with a variety of brushes. ( You will get access to all the brushes I use in this Course. )

You will also learn how to create and apply a texture effect for the chain mail on the characters armor. We will be using the “Distort” and “Mesh Transformation” features to accomplish this.

Through this course you will learn how to use : Layers and Groups, Combine Modes ( Blending Modes ), Custom Brushes, Hard and Soft Edge Shadows, Layer Masks, Quick Masks, Blending Brushes, Tonal Correction, Mirrored Windows, as well as General Drawing and Painting Techniques.

This course is 9 Hours and 17 Minutes total run time. 35 Individual Lessons.

You get the Layered Art Files and the Custom Brushes to work along with.

I am here if you have any questions or feedback for me to make this a better Course for everyone. So please feel free to let me know!

I hope you find this content to be extremely informative and good luck with your ART! 😉
