Learn to Color with Clip Studio Paint with Kurt Michael Russell

A Pro’s Guide to Coloring with CLIP STUDIO PAINT is designed to teach you how to take advantage of this amazing app to add color to line art drawings. Each tool used and each stage of the process is broken down into lessons, so that you can easily follow along using methods I’ve honed over years working as a comic book colorist. These techniques can be used in almost any art style — not just comics by the way.

Lessons are full of tips, tricks, and shortcuts from the basics of setting up layers and preparing line art to functions such as masking and correction layers. You’ll be taken through all of the important program settings, how to setup up a line drawing, adding the base colors, adding light and shadow in a variety of ways, and how to use CLIP STUDIO PAINT’s tools and functions in a mix of creative ways.

The method I’m teaching for adding light and shadow can be used in any lighting scenario, so you’ll be able to take what you’ve learned in this course and apply it to your own art. I’ve also included my version of the finished exercise with all of the layers intact, so you can see exactly which colors I’m picking and how all of the layers work together to create one cohesive piece of art!
