![]() ![]() It doesn’t effect your artwork on this layer in any way. This is an option used for many of clip studio paints awesome tools. Set as reference layer ~ This sets the selected layer as a “reference”. Anything I draw on this layer will only show inside the circle but nowhere else no matter where I draw. So if you have a circle on one layer then add another layer, clip this layer to the layer below. Anything on this layer will be gone.Ĭlip To Layer Below ~ This option will lock the selected layer to the artwork on the layer underneath. Only use this button if you are absolutely sure you will not be un-masking any part of those hidden artworks.ĭelete Layer ~ This simply deletes your layer from existence. If you want to show what you masked at any time you just selected the mask and then paint over where you want to show the parts hidden.Īpply Mask to Layer ~ This will get rid of the mask so if you have hidden parts of your art, it will erase them and you cannot re-show them. But instead of erasing it will simply be hidden. You can use the eraser to erase parts of this layer you don’t want. This creates a mask on the selected layer. So instead of two separate layers with artwork you will have one layer with all the artwork from the two layers.Ĭreate a Layer Mask ~ This is a very handy tool. Merge With Layer Below ~ This with join your layer that is selected to the one underneath. Transfer to Lower Layer ~ Quite simply transfers whatever is on the layer selected to the layer below leaving behind a empty clear layer Just like your files on your computer you can use folders to tidy things up. If you use many layers then it can be a bit messy. ![]() New Layer Folder ~ This is purely a tidy tool. You can even re-thicken or narrow any line art using the line width corrector tool. ![]() You can edit your work using points & scale with ease. Ink work is great on this layer especially when paired with the vector eraser tool. You can’t use the paint bucket tool (fill) on this layer. New Vector Layer ~ This creates a new vector layer. You cannot edit a raster layer with points, only eraser & re-paint/sketch etc. Vector art scales up & down without change & can be edited after drawing with points. Pixel art/Raster does not scale up well at all. If you are new to the concept of raster & vector then here’s a real quick breakdown. What you would consider your basic everything layer This is perfect for painting, sketching & inking. Show Layer in Two Panes ~ This button is to show your layers in two panes which simply splits the layer panel in half to show you the layers you have in two separate panes (but the same layers in each panel.Īdd New Raster Layer ~ A raster layer is a blank layer ready for pixel art as opposed to vector art. Clicking the eye will shut the eye thus turning the layer off. You can also double click the name "layer 01" in this case, this will highlight the text meaning you can type in whatever name you wish to have for your layer. The grey and white squares are just a preview of a blank, momentarily (until you draw on it) transparent layer. If you were to draw on the layer you would see this within that thumbnail. The little thumbnail is a preview of your layer. We will go more in depth with these in a moment. The “100% normal” you see refers to the opacity (how opaque it is) being at 100% and the blending mode being set to normal. Layer 1 is simply a layer with nothing on it ready for you to draw. Think of it as a piece of paper can only take so much erasing or painting before it begins to tear or get muddy etc. We never draw directly on this layer as we can ruin our base “paper”. This brings up a colour box to choose from. You can change the colour of your paper by doubling clicking the layer. When you first begin a painting you will have a layer named “paper” & a starting “layer 1”. Digital layers are just the same but they have more versatility to them. ![]() You “layer” your paint or pens to create shadows, tones etc. If you are coming from traditional media then think of layers as a sense of watercolour or alcohol markers. For instance in comic making you can have colours on one layer and inks on another. Quite simply layers are like transparent pieces of paper that allow you to separate parts of your work. ![]()
