  I made the jump to Clip Studio last month, primarily to see how it compared to those graphics programs I've been using these past 20 years - Photoshop, XaraX (vector), and Corel. In broad generalization there's really not much difference between any of these, but focusing on more specific aspects I have found Clip to be superior to all of the previously mentioned programs as regards how well it handles the aspects of drawing, inking, coloring and lettering. As you've mentioned there are a lot of bells and whistles that aren't necessary and can be intimidating when you first dive in, having spent 40+ years drawing comics despite having every type of pencil imaginable at ones fingertips - along with all manner of inking implements - I've really only used one type of pencil and 3 types of inking tools. It boils down to what works best for each individual artist. I think what has impressed me the most about Clip Studio was how easy it was to integrate my personal methodology/workflow/process within the functions this app provides - day one I was able to work the way I have for decades within its parameters the only difference being I was using much less materials and thereby saving myself money (sorry/ not sorry art supply stores that charge far too much because we are "artists"!) Yes, Chris; I have and am enjoying your vids so keep it up, I tend to learn better by doing but your videos are helpful if I run into a block that requires more clarification from someone more experienced with Clip than I and so far yours have been far more helpful than any of the tutes provided by the developer (sorry Clip!)

  Hey again Chris, one more question: What if I "bleed" just a little from the safe area into the trim area? Would that be a problem?

• 
  @chrisdreiermakingcomics3 күн бұрын

  That shouldn't be a problem. However, keep in mind that if something is just touching the trim when printed and trimmed it will run right up to the edge of the page. That might look strange or even like a mistake. Like a panel or a character's foot. I hope that makes sense. :)

  Hey Chris, I have a question: There is multiple areas (boxes) (Possibly safe area, trim line and full bleed) my question is how far do you draw? Within the first area (Safe area) or second area (Trim)?

• 
  @chrisdreiermakingcomics5 күн бұрын

  Thanks for the question! Anything important, ie all action, characters, dialogue & caption should stay within the "Live Area" or "safe area". Basically, all panels and whatnot. If you want your drawing to go off the page after it's printed (or bleed) draw past the trim line. The trim line shows where the book will be cut to the final dimensions. You don't want to place your panels or action too far to any side or top and bottom for fear that it would be trimmed or lost on the fold. I hope that this helps! Let me know.

  I don't know what you downloaded or the tutorial you watched, so I can't help you there. Sorry. But I can tell you that within the "sub tool details" (that little wrench on the bottom right) there are tons of settings that could alter the look of the brush when it's used. Try digging into there and see what you can see.

  I have noticed that. I think it might be the true size of the brush/pen without pressure sensitivity. Sort like when you use a mouse. At least, that's my guess.

  I love your job!! I bought your brush pack with the book. It would be great if you could also have a Spanish version of the book, so that Spanish speakers don't miss any details. Another question, where can you get art samples in pencils to ink like you do? It is a good practice. By the way I share my portfolio with some of my work, I hope you like it! Greetings from Argentina!

• 
  @chrisdreiermakingcomicsАй бұрын

  Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. Right now I don't have any plans for a Spanish version of my book (sorry). I guess you could take the PDF version and feed it into google translate. Maybe that would help. 😃 Half of my pencils are either by the series penciler of my creator owned comics or friends. I'm inbetween issues because I need to write scripts and send them to the penciler, so I search Google. I need to keep my skills up and create videos. 😄 Simply Google comic book pencils to ink and I think you'll be surprized.

  @pedroreislima4151Ай бұрын

  05:42 This is really insightful in the differences between traditional and digital. Sometimes I hesitate to use rulers and "vectors", even though I love vectors, it's what got me into art actually. But it can feel somewhat fake to mix pencil drawing with vectors and that's just stupid! We have to use our tools, as you showed you had to use ruler templates. One question I have is how do you decide brush size? And when do you change it? Is there a fixe point you use for crosshatches and one for main lines?

• 
  @chrisdreiermakingcomicsАй бұрын

  Hey! Thanks for the question. First, yes! Use the tools available to you! For me, like I said in the video, I would have used templates and french curves on the exact same areas while inking traditionally so there's no difference for me. As for the brush size that depends on the couple things. My pages are all set to 11x17 inches 600 DPI. I do most of my inking with a brush size of 12-17, depending on the scene. If you look you'll see my brush is at 30 a couple times while inking Galactus (Because he's huge and he fills most of the page). For crosshatching I go with the same 12-17 size. Now, if you ink on a 300 DPI canvas, the sizes may have to change. At least that's what I noticed for myself. I really hope this helps!

•

  Sure you can. Create the circle you want, select it, go to Edit --> Register Material --> Image --> make sure to check the "Use for brush tip shape". Or you could adjust a pen's "brush tip" or "stroke" settings in the sub tool details. I hope this helps.

  Hello, I wanted to ask if being a digital inker is your full time job? If it is, can you talk about it... I feel we hear more from colorists than the other fields.

• 
  @chrisdreiermakingcomicsАй бұрын

  Unfortunately, it is not. For about 95% of my 30 year comics career it's been part time. I've worked for over 12 publishers both big and small in that time. I started doing my own comics inbetween, telling the stories I wanted. I had three of my creator-owned graphic novels published by 2 different publishers and my current, ongoing series Freaks & Gods was with a publisher for while. I'm now self-publishing. I do take a gig from time to time because I obsolutely love comics!

  hello. i've been watching your videos ever since you popped up on a google search. i wanted to ask if you could please do a video on your line inking methods. like what settings or tools do you select when you want to draw specific lines, like curved lines, circles, hatching and things like that. i know these can all be done freehand but i've seen you change settings and use different tools at some points and i' having trouble understanding by just watching. i would really appreciate it. thank you.

• 
  @chrisdreiermakingcomics2 ай бұрын

  First, thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. That's a good idea, I'll see how my schedule is and hopefully I can come up with something. I can answer one of your questions here. The reason I choose the curve tool (circles) over freehand sometimes is because I want a very clean, crisp, even line that I'm afraid I might not be able to get freehand. I'm very particular about that sort of thing for myself. When I inked traditionally I would use curve sets, circle templates and pens to ink the same sort of thing you see me inking digitally -- like the top of Captain America's head as an example. I hope that helps.
