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.
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.
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.
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~
