This article is based on the tablet version of Clip Studio Paint.
PC users should refer to the explanation for Studio Mode.
The layout of menu commands may vary in the smartphone version.
Included in Clip Studio Paint's materials are 3D drawing figures and 3D head models that help you draw difficult poses or work out angles when drawing people.
3D drawing figures are stored in the Material palette under the 3D folder. You can use them as a reference when drawing a character by adjusting the body shape and proportions to your liking and by changing the pose.
When using 3D head models, you can blend 9 face types and adjust the position of features such as the eyes and nose.
Note: You can use 3D head models in Studio Mode.
Adjust the body shape and pose of the 3D drawing figure.
Studio Mode
Drag and drop the body shape material from the Material palette > 3D > Body Shape directly onto the canvas, or select Layer menu > New Layer > 3D drawing figure to use it.
You can change the body shape in the Tool Property palette. Open the Change body shape section to see the adjustable settings.
For details on adjusting the body shape, please refer to this article.
You can move the parts of the drawing figure, such as the hands and legs, by dragging them, or you can pose them with the manipulator that appears when you tap the drawing figure.
It takes a little skill and practice to move 3D models.
For more details on pose adjustments, please refer to this article.
Pose the hands
Hands, like the body, can be directly adjusted for poses on the canvas. However, it is easier to manipulate them using the Hand Scanner or Pose hand settings.
