Clip Studio Paint - NEW RENDERING TECHNIQUES

My love for illustration began when I attended a local art college. It was here that I had the chance to study and explore different artists and their painting styles.

At that time I loved Japanese comics and animation (and I still do to this day). A design lecturer told me that I should combine what I love to create my own painting style, and that’s how I started to produce illustrations that were a mix of Japanese pop art and classical techniques, such as those used by Alphonse Mucha, Aubrey Beardsley and JC Leyendecker.

In this workshop I’ll be explaining how I create an illustration with Clip Studio Paint and with my favourite brush, a rainbow! A long time ago I wanted to paint an illustration of a character floating on water, but I just couldn’t find enough spare time to sit down and create the artwork. Now, thanks to ImagineFX, I have the opportunity to visualise my idea.

At first I couldn’t think of a story for the illustration, but after deciding that the character should be a doll, the idea just went more wild from there. I wanted to make an illustration about a mechanical doll with a mechanical heart. During its construction, it becomes more organic and starts to grow flowers from its heart.

Note that although I worked on an iPad, the workflow is the same with any PC or Apple computer that can run Clip Studio Paint.
