What if I use Clip Studio Paint on different devices?
The course will be mainly using CSP on the Windows version. CSP on different devices have different interfaces, however the basics of using the software itself will still be the same.
Do I have to purchase Sketchup for this class?
No, but we will still be teaching it since it's the easiest to use. You can use Abler or Blender, however, they have their pros and cons. Abler is heavy, so it's not suitable for a low end pc. Blender is overly realistic to some art styles and difficult to use, but we're here to help. We want you to have the option to use whichever works for you.
