Key benefits for Illustration & Painting
PENS, PENCILS, & BRUSHES
Create original sketches using your mouse or draw naturally with a pen tablet. Draw using a suite of familiar tools including pens, pencils, brushes and selection tools. With vector mapping technology and smart pen pressure sensing, CLIP STUDIO PAINT gives you incredible sensation of drawing on paper.
COLORING
Powerful coloring tools make CLIP STUDIO PAINT your all-in-one manga and comic creation solution. Choose from an abundance of preset colors, create custom color sets or blend colors naturally as if you were mixing them with your own fingers using the color blend options.
NATURAL, REALISTIC-LOOKING PEN STROKES
Advanced pen pressure detection function for lines that reflect the pen pressure. CLIP STUDIO PAINT provides a line stabilization feature and advanced pressure sensitivity for natural, realistic looking pen strokes. By adjusting the sensitivity of the Starting and Ending properties of a brush, even beginners can draw smooth, clear lines.

RULER FOR ACCURATE DRAWINGS
In addition to rulers for basic drawings, CLIP STUDIO PAINT has a variety of rulers such as the perspective ruler that allows you to add perspective to your backgrounds easily and the symmetrical rulers that allow you to draw symmetrical shapes around a line or multiple points (such as 2- or 3-point symmetry). Other rulers such as the concentric circle ruler, focus line ruler and parallel line ruler allow you to create stunning effects.
NEAT, SMOOTH COLOR FILLING
CLIP STUDIO PAINT has unique feature to help you color more quickly and neatly. You can fill areas with broken lines so that the color does not go out of the lines, and fill in numerous small uncolored areas at once.
CREATE YOUR OWN ORIGINAL COLORS
In addition to the standard color setting palettes, color wheel and color slider, CLIP STUDIO PAINT has a wide range of special features that allows you to create the colors you want. Select the Color History to find colors you have used previously, the Intermediate Color palette to create a shade in between up to colors, or the Approximate Color palette to display colors meeting set conditions such as hue and luminosity.
3D MATERIALS
Pose 3D drawing figures included with CLIP STUDIO PAINT and use them as an inspirational basis for your work. The hardness and movable range of the joints are designed based on the actual structure of the human body, allowing you to create natural, unforced poses intuitively with the mouse. You can also import pre-made pose files. Easily change features of the included drawing figures such as the body shape and proportions.
VARIOUS IMPORT/ EXPORT OPTIONS
Easily integrate your CLIP STUDIO PAINT artwork with your existing graphics tools. CLIP STUDIO supports Photoshop’s PSD format for project import and export. Export to a variety of common image formats. Also export to Kindle and ePub format. Exporting functions can be used for professional level comic and manga publishing.
