📝 Did you know that Clip Studio works with the same filetype of brushes as photoshop (.ABR)?

Just download your brush and drag it into CSP's brushes window!

(note: a lot of photoshop brushes online are stamp-style, don't be surprised if this is what it turns out to be!)

CSP ver.1+

Don't mind me posting a small Clip Studio Pain tip! (I'll be posting these here time to time as well!)

📝Did you know that you can edit the grid of your mesh transformation tool in Clip Studio?

(this tip is for license version 1 and up!)

---------------------

A FOOTNOTE: I will be ONLY sharing tips for PRO version since this is the version I use 🩷🙏 So you can use these tips in both PRO and EX as well!

I'll be doing my best to add the license version information as well!

Hi alma! I’m new to procreate and I love your style. Can I ask what brush your using and how I can either recreate it or where to find it? Thank you for your time

Hi!!! 🩷🩷 I use Clip Studio Paint for my drawings, and as far as I know it's not possible to use the same brushes file between these softwares 😖🙏 I'm sorry I'm not much of a help here!!!

For people who use CSP, these are two brushes I use all the time (besides default airbrush): https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=2017061 https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1712564

For your magic school AU, can the nonbinary uniform be half girls’ + half boys’ split down the middle? Like this:

For this specific school I think the only possible permitted scenario would be layering of the uniform options (for example, a skirt over pants), but altering the uniform elements itself isn't really allowed.

But please don't get discouraged! I actually really like this idea, I think it looks cool! 🙏🩷I'm also certain with how many school around the world exist, there are many in which altering uniform is allowed!!!

I also REALLY like the idea of having the freedom to tie the ribbon/tie in whatever way fits as long as the length of the fabric is the same, and the color is right, so that wouldn't be an issue 🩷

⚠️IMPORTANT EXTRA NOTE: That all being said, obviously, these "rules" and stuff are only concerning if you want to make a character that is canon-compliant! Of course you can make your own ideas come to life, after all it's ORIGINAL character! Making OCs who bend or break some rules is of course 100% okay since it doesn't affect the canon's body itself! 🩷🙏

so i used to love jk stuff growing up but in last 15-ish years this whole franchise is a constant source of series of disappointment and bitter pain that I'm doing my best to avoid LOL 🤧 I really wanted to draw and write my OCs in a wizard world AU so.. I made my own!!!!

I basically built a whole world and stuff, it's still work in progress but I wanted to share anyway!!! [Google doc]

And here are some CUTE UNIFORMS IDEAS for my dark academia magic school 🩷🙏

And some notes on use of familiars! (your OC can have a traditional pet-familiar, or an astral familiar, like a little animal ghost!!!! CUTE!!!)

Anyway, yeah, I've been having so much fun with it so far, I can't wait to make moree 🙏🩷 Please see the google doc for more world- and schoolbuilding hehe it's still pretty barebone but I like it a lot 🩷
