Testimonials
Mooncolony (United Kingdom, Animation Studio)
Clip Studio Paint is a great graphics app and has many handy features, I often use it for my linework. It is very pleasant to work with, and it is clear that the creators of Clip Studio Paint treat artists with attention and respect. My favourite features are: fill with closing gaps, reference layers, modifier hotkeys, Quick Access palette, transform multiple layers, and perspective rulers. Other programs suffer from the lack of some of these features.
ARTAN Animation (Argentina, Animation Studio)
We discovered Clip Studio Paint EX one day and honestly, it was a big change. It met our requirements and helped us organize our production in a better way. The type of animation we do (tradigital 2D) requires a program based on classic techniques, and Clip Studio Paint was perfect for it. We gladly share and encourage the use of this software.
Ergosphere Game Studio (Brazil, Game Studio)
We at Ergosphere Game Studio use Clip Studio Paint from the raw concepts of our games until the final art and production stages. The app is very practical, has easy to find functions, and is artist friendly. The interface is very clean and objective. My favorite functions are community assets, transforming raster to vector layers, and 3D poses. It helps a lot to save production time! Many artistic brushes are available by default and there are so many more to download that are made by the community for free use.
Comic Express (Australia, Comic & Illustration Studio)
I work full time as a cartoonist and illustrator through my studio in Australia called ‘Comic Express’. Clip Studio Paint offers a highly professional toolset for a great price. This program has proven itself to be both solid in art production and consistency. As a small business, I must watch my budget and monthly costs, so I appreciate its price compared to other more expensive competitors. I cannot recommend it enough for those looking to do commercial cartoon and illustration work. It is well worth the time and investment.
