WORKSHOP BRUSHES
CLIP STUDIO PAINT
DEFAULT BRUSHES: MAPPING PEN
Very high pen pressure sensitivity - great for producing lines with varying thickness.
G-PEN
General use pen, lower pressure sensitivity, good for filling in spot blacks quickly.
Manga is a diverse medium that encompasses a wide range of styles and genres; it is complex and ever-evolving, pushed by the skills and imagination of the mangaka who continue to take the medium to new heights, exploring intense themes and analysing the human condition. But sometimes, you just want to see anime girls kicking the crap out of their enemies.
We'll be looking at some fundamental drawing techniques, practised widely by mangaka and comic artists, that will help you to apply a sense of movement, force and impact to your manga artwork. Crucially, we will focus on how to apply this sense of movement to your character first. An overabundance of action lines is a classic stereotype in manga, and though they can be used to great effect, you should never rely on them as a crutch. Apply extra movement lines to the background if they are warranted, but consider beforehand: how much force do you want to show in this scene? Is the force enough to justify removing the environment entirely, in favour of action lines?
This tutorial will show you how making use of ‘S’ curves, foreshortening and line weights (rather than relying solely on speed lines to imply movement) in your character drawings can result in more effective, convincing action scenes. We will also cover the tools pre-packaged with Clip Studio Paint that can help to streamline the creation process.
