Use to paint random colors inside your linework to be used as selection masks.

CLOW (a Masking Tool for Clip Studio Paint)

I just made this brush to make the 'Clown Pass' easier.
This is an advanced masking technique I use that separates all shapes of the drawing on a random color island that I can use as a selection mask.

Just set your line as reference layer and start dabbing on the different shapes of your drawing. Each dab paints a different color; shapes has no antialiasing so you can retrieve a clean mask from it.

The gif below is a timelapse in how to use it:




INSTRUCTIONS:

(1) It's important to set your linework as Reference Layer;


(2) When using the Clow brush, prefer a large brush size so it covers the entirety of a shape;


(3) The brush stays inside the lines automatically - just remember to place the brushstroke in the center of the shape; if you force paint outside, it'll.

(4) Each tap/brushstroke paints a new, random color

(5) The only option exposed in the subtool panel is Area Scaling; it increase the value if you want the colored shapes to "grow" behind the linework

In this old video I tried to demonstrate how I'll use this Clown Pass technique.
It´s in Portuguese BUT you should get some idea from it.

I’m inspired by 90s and early 2k imagery. My art have something of retro games, graffiti and tech. Been drawing with Clip Studio Paint since it’s origin.
