![]() ![]() What I did like are the many more choices of brush effects in Clip Studio Paint. I think that’s because I’m used to doing both at the same time and at will in Sketchbook Pro. I found this a clunky and awkward way to work. ![]() ![]() The zoom and rotate touch functions only work separately. A click on this palette and I can access all the brush sets I’ve either downloaded or created so I can add or remove brushes as I need to. The Sketchbook brush palette is a great tool too I have all my favourite brushes available in one, easily accessible place. I keep the pucks close to where I work for convenience.Īgain, there’s nothing wrong with how all this is done in Clip Studio Paint, but I just prefer the ease with which I can do everything in Sketchbook Pro. The brush puck makes changing the size and opacity a breeze. Having the colour puck makes it easy to alter the saturation and tone of a chosen colour really quickly. It’s just personal preference more than anything. Being able to move them around the screen means I can pop them where I like, make them easily and quickly accessible for me.ĭon’t get me wrong, there’s a comprehensive colour palette and various options of viewing colours in Clip Studio Pro, but I like the more intuitive and streamline way of doing it in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. Sketchbook Pro also comes with a separate Copic color palette. I do prefer the way I can choose colours in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, as well as the ease of creating a custom palette. Usually, they keyboard is out of the way so that I can adjust the angle and distance of the screen to suit my comfort. However, I work directly on the screen with Sketchbook Pro and the only time I use my keyboard is name the file before saving it, or if I want to add text to the art. I’m sure there must be keyboard shortcuts, which may help streamline the process somewhat. While the tools and options are all accessible on the screen, I find it frustrating and time consuming as I seem to have to perform more steps in Clip Studio Paint to do the same task as I would in Sketchbook Pro. Thanks to working with Sketchbook Pro, I have a better understanding of what the various tools do. It makes working digitally as natural as working with traditional media.Īs I’m familiar with the Affinity suite of programs from Serif, working out what the different menus and tools, which are similar to Photoshop, wasn’t as confusing as it would’ve been in the past. Keyboard shortcuts are available, but I prefer to use my pen directly on the screen as I work. Everything is done easily and simply through the quite minimalist, yet powerful, tool bars and menus. I love the intuitive and rather beautiful interface of the software, the menus on screen and the colour and brush ‘pucks’. I’ve long been a fan of Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, and that isn’t going to change. What is different is the user interface more than anything else. I think it’s impossible to tell the difference between the colouring I’ve achieved with both programs. So, these are my first impressions of Clip Studio Paint and a comparison with Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. I spent yesterday afternoon, and a bit of this morning, colouring part of the template above in Clip Studio Paint. The bottom part of the template above was coloured in Clip Studio, the top part in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. Yesterday, I thought I’d give Clip Studio Paint a go.
