A hefty book and offers step by step instructions and in-depth explanations. It’s easy to follow, even in complicated things like setting up a brush for foliage (saves so much time from drawing individual leaves!)I particularly like the final chapter which guides you on ‘Finding your own manga look’, where it explains how certain tools can produce certain styles and how these styles can be interpretedIt’s a great book to have on hand if you want to move beyond the basics of the program and speed up your work process.

This was a must-have for me for learning the software! Really, I couldn't have done it without this book, as the youtube and online manual can only do so much for me (the people on youtube go way too fast and often don't tell you why they are doing something). I have found digital art, let alone software animation, to be EXTREMEMLY hard to grasp for several years now, so recently I've decided to get this book and buckle down tight, because I very much desire to master this art. I use the book alongside youtube and the online tutorials and blogs. With the book, I put aside my deeply ingrained aversion to writing in books (thanks, public school!) and decided to write all I wanted inside of it. I use labeled tape flags to mark my most needed sections and also put in star stickers and highlights wherever needed. It's fun to glam up my Clip Studio bible LOL. Whenever I find information either in the book or online, that I know I need but was really hard to find, I write notes on the blank pages at the back with highlights to help remind me what to do. This plan is working very well for me! Do whatever you need to do to learn, it's ok! ^_^ And yes, don't hesitate to buy this book if you need extra help learning Clip Studio, it's very worth it. And make the book your own!

Update, 4/10/22. I've read most of the book now so I would like to update my review. This is a very useful book and it goes over how to set up your Workspace and how to use each tool in detail. It has many useful hints. I think some sections and tips are a bit randomly organized together but if you read it carefully, it is very helpful. My only wish is that the image quality is poor and it is b&w. But the actual content is very good. The rest can be supplemented by online and YouTube.----It is black and white inside and poor image quality though the color images are downloadable from a website. It does go through different aspects. I'm not sure if I will use it. Probably better to get from library or watch Youtube videos.

I've been using CSP to create professional manga for over 10 years and still learned new things from this book. The chapters are organised clearly so it's not a struggle to look for a quick reference on specific topics. The instructions are written in simple, straight forward language, though kids might struggle to understand some of the jargons. Having said that, I would still recommend my manga class students (kids, teens and adults) to purchase this book, so when they've forgotten the things they've done in class, they can look it up themself.I think the price is reasonable and would be well worth the investment especially for those who'd only started using the software for less than 5 years. CSP gets updated from time to time with added new features, but the book covers the basic features that never gets changed. You can look up tutorials online for free but this book takes away the hustle and will save you time wasted on badly written tutorials online.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
