Last year’s winner, Katiuska Pino, shared her thoughts on Clip Studio Paint EX:

As a long-time user of Clip Studio Paint (Pro 2.0), when I won a 12-month license for CLIP STUDIO PAINT EX, I was really excited. It was my chance to finally resolve a question I had had for a long time: Is it worth upgrading or switching to EX?

Some of the new tools in the latest versions of CSP Pro caught my attention, and I was curious about the EX version, but I didn’t feel the need to change plans because, at the end of the day, I was quite satisfied with the program as it was. Or so I thought, because now that I’ve tried Clip Studio Paint EX, I have to admit that there’s no going back for me!

CSP is a very complete program. Not only does it have incredible tools that show they took artists’ feedback into account, but their website also offers a huge library of materials, with thousands of brushes and textures, even 3D elements, and most of which you can download for free. 

You can also access tons of official tutorials and tutorials created by other users where you can learn everything from how to use the tools to how to draw or create animations. Whether you’re a new artist or a professional, there are so many useful tips!

And CSP EX has been very convenient for my workflow, which is very important to me.

Being able to view my entire project at once, change the position of pages, and not have to rename each file manually, edit text on multiple pages without having to open each file separately, and of course export all pages with just a couple of clicks in any format I need has been incredible. I hadn’t even realized how much time I was wasting doing all that normally.

This program has everything I need and more.

Thank you, KidLitGN, for giving me the opportunity to enjoy CSP EX!!

We Could Use Your Help… 

We know how tough financially it can be as a creative, so we want to continue to make this event free, however, we spend $300 a year to maintain a website with enough capacity to make the pitch event function, which has added up over the five years we’ve been running this campaign. If you can help us continue to fund KidLitGN’s event, please consider even a small donation. Two dollars from 150 people would fund the website each year. Thank you! https://kidlitgn.com/donate-to-kidlitgn/
