I’ll still go over the process again though, in case you read last week’s article but need a refresher. I’m going to say, again, that if you haven’t looked at the one-point perspective ruler entry from last week, you should probably go look at it! The creation process for two-point rulers builds off creating one-point (and creating three-point rulers builds off making two-point, so we’re building foundations here). That being said, let’s move on to creating two-point and three-point perspective rulers! Even after drawing perspective for years, I still learned a lot from this book when I was creating comics! If you’re a comic artist who wants to ramp-up your background drawing skills, I recommend “Vanishing Point: Perspective for Comics From the Ground Up” by Jason Cheeseman-Meyer as a fantastic book to have for reference. This is simply about how to use the Clip Studio Paint Perspective Ruler. That being said, this article will NOT be covering how to draw in perspective, or the more advanced concepts of perspective drawing. Thankfully, there are a lot of resources online that will teach you how to draw in one, two, and three-point perspective. It’s not a very difficult skill to acquire, but it does require some practice and a lot of learning. Being able to draw convincing perspectives is, in my opinion, a critical skill for just about any artist (but especially comic artists, concept artists, etc). In this article we will cover the following topics:īefore we get started, I want to say a few things about drawing in perspective. If you haven’t read that post yet, please do so because that’s where we covered the Perspective Ruler settings and the basics of setting up a one-point perspective drawing! Finally we’ve made it to the last of this ruler series, which is a continuation from the previous article about one-point perspective. And I still think that the built-in ruler tools are one of the coolest features in CSP. When I first learned about this software, it was the Perspective Ruler tool that made me realize how awesome it was and influenced my decision to start using it. I write weekly posts on and on CSP Tips, so be sure to come back every week to learn more Clip Studio Tips and Tricks from me! Many of you probably know my name from those books, in fact. I was a beta-tester on the Manga Studio 5 program and for Clip Studio Paint, and I have written three books and several video courses about the program. Hello! My name is Liz Staley and I’m a long-time user of Clip Studio Paint (I started using the program back when it was known as Manga Studio 4!).
