B. It Has Characters I Draw Consistently Rather Than One-off - Blog Posts

and Clip Studio Paint user here At one point I did have palettes for character coloring references Nowadays though most of the art I have where A. I'm actually coloring it B. It has characters I draw consistently rather than one-off I just duplicate the coloring folders from the latest non-painting I did When I'm not painting the coloring layers are very nicely divided up by color and by character and labelled So why not use them? Easier than swapping to the palettes Clip Studio also lets you color pick by layer Rather than by the visible color Which makes it really easy to get the flat colors without lighting if you need them Palette challenges you can manually color pick from the reference image for And I've never once touched the default palettes I DO HOWEVER Organize my downloaded brushes and materials to the extreme Random 3D assets and cityscape brushes and textures and etc. etc. etc. All have their own nice little folders and subfolders Same thing with the layers on drawings Folders and folders and colored tabs
