Learn efficient techniques for webtoon and comic backgrounds in Clip Studio Paint using 3D models to match your drawing style and color palette, to set mood and pacing.
Explore vector layers in Clip Studio Paint to keep lines crisp and scalable for webtoon backgrounds, including change vector with, vector eraser options, and line weight adjustments.
Learn to create hand-drawn webtoon backgrounds in Clip Studio Paint by tracing references with controlled opacity, using post correction for natural line width, and reducing detail to convey depth.
Use Clip Studio Paint’s 3D models to extract lines for webtoon backgrounds, adjust camera angles, and refine lines by turning off texture and increasing line width for coloring underneath.
Download and run the auto action from the Clip Studio Paint asset store to generate an outline layer from CSP 3D models, mirroring the SEECP X line extraction.
Learn how to use SketchUp and the 3D Warehouse to assemble webtoon and comic backgrounds, check licensing, download models, place and manipulate items, and export a 2d image.
Export 2D line art from SketchUp for webtoon backgrounds, adjust line width and color, save angles as scenes, and hide obstructing walls to reveal the view in Clip Studio Paint.
Learn to use SketchUp Make 2017, the free version, to download models from the 3D warehouse and export with high resolution (at least six thousand pixels) and a transparent background.
Utilize SketchUp models in Clip Studio Paint, adjust sunlight, shadows, and fog, export line and color versions, and refine with correction layers and color tools to match your comic style.
Explore sourcing detailed 3D models for webtoon backgrounds from Coyoacan 3D, understand licensing rights and compatibility with SketchUp 2017, and create more organic line variance with One-Click SketchUp style.
Use colors, screentones, and patterns in Clip Studio Paint to craft establishing backgrounds, saving time by limiting backgrounds to establishing panels while shaping mood and setting with gradients and depth.
Create at least four comic panels using Clip Studio Paint background techniques, with mood conveyed by color and repeated settings. The lecture demonstrates hand-drawn rooms, 3D models, and color cohesion.
Explore Webtoon/comic backgrounds in Clip Studio Paint, using example 1 to demonstrate practical workflows, layering, and color techniques for vivid scenes.
Explore webtoon and comic background workflows using Clip Studio Paint through example 2, applying practical techniques to design cohesive environments for sequential art.
Grab a one-page cheat sheet to reference lines and coloring, align backgrounds with your characters, and maintain a cohesive comic style, with hints on planning, storyboarding, and posting your work.
Do you want to start your own comic but find the idea of having to draw backgrounds daunting? Don't worry, you are not alone! I felt exactly the same way when I was first thinking about starting my own comic.
But now, having completed my first comic, I realised that I have learnt and developed several ways to quickly and easily create backgrounds using references and 3D models. I want to pass these learnings on and encourage people to start making their comic and getting their stories out there~
This course is intended to help you use 3D models in Clip Studip Paint (CSP) and SketchUp in a way that perfectly matches the style of your art and comic/webtoon.
It also covers tips and tricks to efficiently draw your backgrounds by hand, and to use colors, screentones and patterns emphasise the mood of your characters or scenes.
It's basically the course I wish I had when I first started, and I hope it will help you on your own journey~
