CLIP STUDIO PAINT

CLIP STUDIO PAINT is a long established digital illustration, comic and animation application from Celsys, available on Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android and other devices. It is used for character illustration, manga and webtoon production and frame animation, and it is not primarily an AI product. The vendor's pages emphasize brush quality, including watercolor and thick paint brushes that can be customized and combined, fast fill and selection tools, layer effects, perspective rulers and 3D models for heads, bodies and props that artists can pose and draw over. Comic features include panel layout, speech balloons, text, concentration lines and tones, multi page management, and print and web export settings. Animation tools handle frame animation, audio and camera work, and cloud services are included. The pages read for this description did not highlight AI features, so any generative tooling is a minor part of a much larger drawing application. It is sold in PRO and EX editions, either as a perpetual license or as a monthly or yearly subscription, and a free trial is available. Prices are localized by region. The US store shows US$63.00 for a PRO perpetual license and US$277.00 for EX, and the vendor runs frequent discounts that are not quoted here. Official guidebooks and a creator certification program are also offered.
