No problem! Yeah, I guess when you have been doing it a while it isn't something that you normally think about... but it is a good point to think about when making a tutorial for those that are new to the software!

Thank you.. I just purchased clip studio paint and was actually trying to figure out how to paint my drawings.. cause i actually almost never paint my drawings. So i was thinking that i would try to do digitally.. 🙂 I was watching your video on YouTube and you never mentioned how you painted your drawings only how to make gradients 😊

For the initial flat color, I paint it on by hand and use a hard round brush. In clip studio paint, I specifically use the Gpen brush to paint around all the edges first. Then I can use the bucket tool to fill it.
