Clip Studio Paint EX - 1 Year Upgrade

Clip Studio Paint is the drawing and painting program made by the Japanese developer Celsys for illustration, comics and manga, and frame-by-frame animation. It is written for illustrators, comic artists and studios who want brushes that behave like real pens and inks next to production tools such as panel frames, speech balloons, screentones and 3D reference figures. What you buy here is a paid Clip Studio Paint plan linked to a Clip Studio account, which unlocks the full program on the supported desktop and tablet platforms.

This product is an upgrade of your own Clip Studio Paint EX account for 1 year: after payment we apply the subscription to the account you indicate, usable on 1 device (Windows, macOS, iOS and Android).

PRO is the edition for illustration and single-page work: drawing, inking, colouring and short animation. EX keeps everything in PRO and adds the management of multi-page comics and books, page export for print, and animation without a frame limit. Clip Studio Paint reads and writes PSD files, so it fits next to Photoshop in a mixed workflow, and a drawing started on a tablet can be finished on a desktop computer.

Key Features:

• Natural brushes: Pens, pencils, inks, watercolours and airbrushes react to pen pressure, tilt and stroke speed, and every brush can be adjusted, saved or replaced with one downloaded from the asset library.
• Vector layers: Lines drawn on a vector layer stay sharp when you scale or reshape them, and the eraser can cut a stroke back to the nearest intersection without touching the rest of the drawing.
• Comic and manga tools: Panel frames, speech balloons with editable text, screentones, perspective rulers and page templates are part of the program, so a page goes from layout to finished art in one place.
• 3D drawing figures: Poseable models of people, hands and props can be placed on the canvas, lit and rotated, then traced or used as a base for difficult angles.
• Animation timeline: Frame-by-frame animation is drawn on a timeline with onion skin and a light table, and exported to video or to animated image files.
• Clip Studio account and assets: Brushes, settings and artwork can be synchronised through a Clip Studio account, and free or paid materials are installed from Clip Studio Assets.
