You can also use vector layers to get a pen inked look while retaining the ability to refine and edit your lines position and thickness.So when it comes to inking. Remember that you don’t have to use vectors just for logos or inorganic objects. This was hardly an exhaustive look at using vectors in your drawings, but I hope that it got you interested in them if you’ve never explored the subject before. I think using a combined technique like this creates a fairly convincing mix of organic and structured lines for this illustration! The figure was inked entirely on a raster layer, but the headphones, microphone, table edge, and coffee mug (as well as all the cords) are done with vector lines so that they look smooth and like a manufactured object. I’ve inked the figure with my normal inking tool (my go-to is a brush from Flyland Designs called “BRUSH - Expressive”, which I love because it has a very natural brush-pen feel to it), but I want some more precise and smooth lines for the headphones, microphone, and coffee mug. The image below is the one that I’ll be using for my example. It’s all up to you to choose if you want to use them or not! So, despite that I only use vector layers in certain instances, Clip Studio allows for the easy use of vector lines in many situations. Since CSP allows the use of drawing tools like pens and brushes on Vector layers, you can get lines with organic width changes with just the stroke of the stylus, and you can go back and adjust the line after it’s made. This is a great option if you’re not confident with inking or if you have an unsteady hand. However, I do know many artists who use vector layers for all their inking because they love being able to adjust their lines after making them. Because of some tricks that the Vector eraser tool can do, backgrounds like cityscapes/buildings are also a good choice for vector layers. I love using vectors for mechanical, man-made objects or anything where I need to have very precise and perfect lines. This is when using a Vector layer can really help. However, sometimes I need to have more precise lines than I can get even with a steady hand and my normal inking tricks. Ninety-nine percent of the time I ink my illustrations using a pen tool and a Wacom Cintiq stylus.

In this article we will cover the following topics:īefore we go into how to create some vectors, I’d like to take a minute to talk about when I, personally, use vectors in my drawings.
#MANGA STUDIO 5 INKING BRUSHES FULL#
So this week I want to share how I use raster and vector together to create a full illustration. I love having the option to use vectors for some areas of a piece but use raster for others. I think the ability to work with both raster and vector in the same illustration at the drop of a hat is one of Clip Studio Paint’s strengths. I write weekly posts on and on CSP Tips, so be sure to come back every week to learn more Clip Studio Tips and Tricks from me! Many of you probably know my name from those books, in fact. I was a beta-tester on the Manga Studio 5 program and for Clip Studio Paint, and I have written three books and several video courses about the program. Hello! My name is Liz Staley and I’m a long-time user of Clip Studio Paint (I started using the program back when it was known as Manga Studio 4!).
