clip studio paint update
Published 10/16/2017
Hi anybody – my name is Cillian Clifford, I’m a 21 year old hobbyist artisan and cyberbanking musician, and an casual animator, biographer and bold developer. I go by the username of Fatal-Exit online. I alive in rural Ireland, a aberrant abode for addition so absorbed in technology. My interests ambit from artistic projects to tech accompanying fields like engineering, robotics and science. Outside of things like these I adore gaming from time to time.
Definitely as a hobby. I accede agenda painting to be one of my weakest areas of art skills, so I absorb a lot of time aggravating to advance it. Added areas of agenda art I’m absorbed in accommodate CAD, 3d modeling, agenda sculpting, agent animation, and pixel art.
It varies! Hugely, in fact. Over the accomplished two years on my accepted DeviantArt annual I’ve uploaded bold fan-art paintings, aboriginal fantasy and Sci-Fi pieces, landscapes, pixel art, and renders of 3d pieces. I additionally occasionally acrylic textures and UV maps for 3d artwork. Outside of still art, I additionally breathing in agent and pixel art styles. I additionally occasionally accomplish not-great indie games, but as you ability guess, best never get finished.
A advanced ambit of artists, generally not accurate bodies but added their accumulated efforts on projects. I will say that David Revoy and GDQuest in the Krita association are a big inspiration. Youtube artists such as Sycra, Jazza and Borodante are addition few I can anticipate of. Lots of my admired art of all time has appear from ample bold companies such as Blizzard and Hi-Rez Studios. Additionally bold related, the contempo acceleration of added awakening and pixel based cartoon in indie amateur is a huge absorption of mine, and amateur like Terraria, Stardew Valley and Hyper-Light Drifter accept an art appearance that actually inspires me.
My aboriginal time accomplishing some array of “digital painting” was back I was about 16-17. I did the cartoon architecture assignment for a lath bold a aggregation of us were alive on for a academy action project, application the chargeless cartoon software Paint.net and a mouse. It took ages. However the activity concluded up demography off and we concluded up in the final date of the competition. After that was over (we didn’t win) I absitively agenda art ability be article to actively advance in and bought a cartoon tablet. For a brace of years I fabricated unimaginably abhorrent art and in 2015 I absitively to shut bottomward my DeviantArt annual and alpha beginning on a new account, with my new style. This was about back I begin Krita, I believe.
A few things: Firstly, I could never acrylic in a acceptable sense, I was actually terrible. At academy I was advised a C brand artist, and that was alike back alive on pen and ink drawings, a appearance I acclimated to be acceptable at but accept back abandoned. I never abstruse to acrylic traditionally.
Secondly, I can do it anywhere. In my bedchamber with a Ugee cartoon adviser and my workstation desktop, or lots of added places if I booty my crumbling laptop and Huion cartoon book with me. Soon I’m attractive to buy a adaptable book agnate to the Microsoft Surface Pro, that’ll let me acrylic actually anywhere.
Thirdly, the tech involved. So not alone am I able to challenge any media that exists in acceptable art with assorted software, I can additionally assignment on art styles that aren’t alike accessible with traditional. As able-bodied as this, functions like undo, zooming in and out of the canvas, layers and aggregate modes, gradients and brazier fill, the account goes on and on.
I can appropriately say I never appetite to “go back” to acceptable painting alike admitting I was never any acceptable at it in the aboriginal place.
That’s a adamantine question. I’m not actually sure, but I’ve an abstraction that it ability accept been through David Revoy’s assignment on the Blender Foundation movies, and Pepper and Carrot. I was attractive for a bargain or chargeless allotment of software because I didn’t appetite to use absurd Photoshop/Painter, and I’d already acclimated GIMP and Paint.net, and neither were acceptable for the art I was attractive to create. I approved MyPaint but it never formed appropriately with my tablet. I did buy ArtRage at some point but I wasn’t blessed with the accoutrement in that. It came bottomward to apparently a best of Krita or Clip Studio Paint. Krita had the amount tag of chargeless so it was the aboriginal one I tried. And I ashore with it.
Wow.
At atomic I anticipate it was. Back I aboriginal approved it aggregate aloof seemed to assignment beeline off. It seemed simple abundant for me to use efficiently. And the besom agent was artlessly amazing. I don’t apperceive if there’s any added affairs with brushes that accessible to adapt to a huge admeasurement but still so simple to set up. I aboriginal approved it in adaptation 2.something so it was afore action was added.
Mostly, the actuality that it works to use for best things you can bandy at it. I’ve fabricated bold assets, textures, paintings, drawings, pixel art, a brace of analysis animations with the action function, appealing abundant everything. I feel like it’s the Blender of 2d, the chargeless apparatus that does appealing abundant everything, maybe not the 100% best at it, but absolutely the best economical option.
The besom agent like I said afore is one of it’s best assets, it has one of the best advantageous blush pickers I’ve used, the admittance of what is the feature-set of the paid plugin Lazy Nezumi for Photoshop for free, the actuality that the interface can be there back you charge it but vanish at the columnist of the button. Aloof endless of acceptable things.
The array of besom packs fabricated by the association are additionally a abundant asset. I own GDQuest’s exceptional array and additionally use Deevad’s backpack on a approved basis. I adulation to afresh abuse those brushes to clothing my needs.
The capital accepted acrimony with Krita is the argument tool. I aloof abhorrence it. It’s the one affair that makes me appetite to accept admission to Photoshop. And I apperceive it’s allegedly one of the things actuality focused on in approaching updates, so hopefully they don’t booty too continued to happen.
Another botheration I had with Krita happened aftermost year. It’s been anchored since, but it’s absolutely annihilation I’d like to see appear afresh with V4 (Which I anguish is a possibility). Basically what happened was back the Krita 3 amend came out it bankrupt abutment for my Ugee cartoon monitor. Completely bankrupt it. I had to either stick with the old adaptation of Krita 2.9, or back I capital to use accoutrement from V3 I had to uninstall my awning book drivers, install drivers for my tiny old Intuos Small book and use that. Luckily, after on, (about 6-8 months bottomward the line) an amend for my book drivers anchored all problems, and it aloof formed with my awning book from afresh on.
Ease of use, the besom engine, the acceleration that it works at (even with 4k abstracts on my pentium powered laptop), the way it currently works able-bodied on all my hardware, the amount tag (FREE!), the community, and some abundant providers of custom brushes (GDQuest and David Revoy’s in particular). Alike admitting I’ve back chock-full application Krita for pixel art and confused to Aseprite (only because their pixel action accoutrement are added adult appear authoritative bold assets), I accept it’s the best acceptable affairs I accept admission to for agenda painting, banana art, and acceptable 2d animation.
This is a adamantine catechism because I feel I am a abhorrent critic. If I had to accept it’d apparently be Sailing to the Edge of the Apple II – from my Sailing to the Edge of the apple painting alternation I fabricated for a acceptable aide of mine. I additionally included the latest painting in that series, admitting I accept the additional one was the best. Alike admitting it’s been maybe 8 months back I fabricated that painting it’s still one of my best.
If I bethink accurately I acclimated mostly David Revoy’s brush-pack. The painterly brushes were acclimated forth with the pen and ink brushes and some of the airbrushes. To be honest it’s been so continued back I fabricated it I’m not 100% sure. I may accept additionally acclimated some of the absence brushes such as the basal annular and bendable round.

As of the time of autograph this it’s mostly aloof home to my music. However I’m attractive to aggrandize it into art, action and bold development, with tutorials and action videos. I’m absolutely acquisitive to column some Krita reviews, tutorials and videos on how it can be acclimated in a bold development activity over the advancing months, as able-bodied as videos of added software such as Blender, Aseprite, 3d Coat, Moho, Construct 3, Gamemaker Studio 2, Unreal Agent 4, Sunvox, FL Studio Adaptable and others.
