![]() I use the Auto Select (Magic Wand) tool to select each of the flat color shapes, then brush in the lights and darks. So I’ll use my imaginary light source (the moon?) to help me lay down the highlights and shadows. The coloring in this piece isn’t complex at all. The crypts, car, road, and sky are all on separate layers. Note: I say “layer” but, in fact, I used multiple layers for the flat colors to keep things organized. I like to have all the flat colors touching or overlapping under the line work, no gaps or white space. When that step is completed for all the objects in the piece, the layer under the inks might look something like this. Alternately, this same job could also be accomplished with a Lasso Tool (or a Curve Ruler converted to a selection) and Fill tool. Then, with the inks layer turned off, I’ll drop color with the Fill tool and fill that large area all at once. So I’ll take a brush (in this case, the Mapping Pen), turn off the Anti-Aliasing (so I get a crisp, bitmapped edge) and I’ll trace the contours of the shape I want to fill. A great time-saver!īut if you have a lot of little lines (like I do in this drawing) that can sometimes slow you down. If you set the Fill tool to “Follow Adjacent Pixel” with the “All Layers” icon clicked (see above image), the tool manages to confine the fill within the lines of the ink outline, even when it’s on a separate layer. With Clip Studio, you can use the Fill Tool (Paint Bucket) to drop color simply and quickly. With the inks on their own layer, I create a layer beneath that for the flat colors. ![]() I encourage you to find the methods that work best for you and go to town. Just flats, highlights, shadows, and texture.Īs always, this is just one of dozens of ways to color art in Clip Studio. This time, I’ll go through my coloring process. This is really Part Two of my process (I inked this image in Part One).
