Q & A
Was ist der Hauptvorteil des FĂŒllwerkzeugs in Clip Studio Paint im Vergleich zu Photoshop?
-Der Hauptvorteil des FĂŒllwerkzeugs in Clip Studio Paint besteht darin, dass es mit den richtigen Einstellungen viel effizienter arbeitet und dabei mehrere Ebenen berĂŒcksichtigen kann, um genauere und schnellere FarbfĂŒllungen zu ermöglichen.
Wie funktioniert die 'Refer Multiple' Eigenschaft des FĂŒllwerkzeugs?
-Die 'Refer Multiple' Eigenschaft ermöglicht es dem FĂŒllwerkzeug, mehrere Ebenen gleichzeitig zu berĂŒcksichtigen. Beispielsweise kann das Werkzeug die Linienzeichnung auf einer separaten Ebene sehen und die Farbe auf einer anderen Ebene ausfĂŒllen, ohne die Linien zu ĂŒberschreiben.
Was ist eine 'Referenzebene' und wie nutzt man sie?
-Eine Referenzebene ist eine spezielle Ebene, die das FĂŒllwerkzeug als Leitfaden verwendet, um zu bestimmen, wo Farben gefĂŒllt werden sollen. Du kannst eine Ebene als Referenz festlegen, indem du im Ebenenfenster auf das Leuchtturm-Symbol klickst oder im KontextmenĂŒ 'Als Referenzebene festlegen' auswĂ€hlst.
Welche Funktion hat die 'Close Gap' Eigenschaft und wann sollte man sie verwenden?
-Die 'Close Gap' Eigenschaft schlieĂt kleine LĂŒcken in der Linienzeichnung, damit die Farbe nicht ĂŒber den vorgesehenen Bereich hinauslĂ€uft. Sie ist besonders nĂŒtzlich, wenn die Linienzeichnung nicht vollstĂ€ndig geschlossen ist.
Wie kann die Toleranz des FĂŒllwerkzeugs angepasst werden, um feine Farbunterschiede zu erkennen?
-Die Toleranz bestimmt, wie Ă€hnlich benachbarte Farben sein mĂŒssen, damit sie als gleichfarbig betrachtet werden. Eine höhere Toleranz fĂŒllt gröĂere Farbunterschiede, wĂ€hrend eine niedrigere Toleranz nur sehr Ă€hnliche Farben erfasst.
Was bewirkt die 'Area Scaling' Eigenschaft des FĂŒllwerkzeugs?
-Die 'Area Scaling' Eigenschaft erweitert den gefĂŒllten Farbbereich geringfĂŒgig ĂŒber den Rand der Linienzeichnung hinaus, um weiĂe oder leere Pixel an den RĂ€ndern zu vermeiden. Sie kann besonders hilfreich sein, um sicherzustellen, dass keine unerwĂŒnschten LĂŒcken entstehen.
Wie kann man das 'Enclose and Fill' Werkzeug verwenden, um schnell groĂe FlĂ€chen zu fĂŒllen?
-Mit dem 'Enclose and Fill' Werkzeug kann man schnell die Silhouette eines Objekts fĂŒllen, indem man einfach eine Umrisslinie um das Objekt zieht und loslĂ€sst. Das Werkzeug fĂŒllt dann automatisch den Bereich innerhalb des gezeichneten Umrisses.
Welche Vorteile bietet das Ausschalten von Antialiasing beim FĂŒllwerkzeug?
-Das Ausschalten von Antialiasing verhindert das Auftreten von halbdurchsichtigen Pixeln an den Kanten und erleichtert es dem FĂŒllwerkzeug, klare und scharfe Kanten zwischen Farben zu erkennen, was weiĂe oder leere Pixel an den RĂ€ndern minimiert.
Was macht das 'Paint Unfilled Area' Werkzeug und wann sollte man es verwenden?
-Das 'Paint Unfilled Area' Werkzeug fĂŒllt Bereiche, die das FĂŒllwerkzeug nicht erreicht hat. Es erkennt automatisch, wo die Farbe fehlen könnte, und fĂŒllt diese Stellen aus, ohne dass die Linienzeichnung ĂŒberschrieben wird.
Wie kann man mit dem FĂŒllwerkzeug alle Bereiche einer bestimmten Farbe auf einmal Ă€ndern?
-Um alle Bereiche einer bestimmten Farbe auf einer Ebene gleichzeitig zu Ă€ndern, kann man die Option 'Nur auf verbundene Pixel anwenden' deaktivieren. Das FĂŒllwerkzeug ersetzt dann die Farbe in allen Bereichen der Ebene, unabhĂ€ngig davon, ob sie nebeneinander liegen oder nicht.

đš EinfĂŒhrung in das Fill Tool in Clip Studio Paint
In diesem Abschnitt wird das Fill Tool in Clip Studio Paint vorgestellt und wie es effizient zum FĂ€rben genutzt werden kann. Die Autorin erklĂ€rt, dass viele digitale Kunstwerkzeuge ohne genaues VerstĂ€ndnis verwendet werden und das Justieren von mehreren Eigenschaften oft frustrierend sein kann. Sie teilt ihre Erfahrung als ehemalige Photoshop-Nutzerin und wie sie zum Clip Studio Paint umgestiegen ist. Das Fill Tool wird als game-changer fĂŒr die Effizienz beim Kolorieren hervorgehoben, insbesondere fĂŒr Leute, die von Photoshop kommen. AuĂerdem stellt sie sich und ihren Assistenten Diu vor und erwĂ€hnt ihre Social-Media-KanĂ€le.
đïž Zugang zum Fill Tool und den Unterwerkzeugen
Hier wird erklĂ€rt, wie man das Fill Tool in Clip Studio Paint findet und seine Einstellungen öffnet. Die 'Tool Property' und 'Sub Tool' Fenster werden erlĂ€utert und wie man sicherstellt, dass sie sichtbar sind. Die Autorin zeigt auch, wie man das Layer-Setup fĂŒr das Kolorieren organisiert und verwendet das Beispiel einer Jinx-Zeichnung aus der Serie 'Arcane'. Sie weist darauf hin, dass das Layer-Management von den individuellen Vorlieben des KĂŒnstlers abhĂ€ngt und demonstriert die grundlegende Anwendung des Fill Tools mit der Eigenschaft 'Refer Multiple'.
đïž Nutzung von Referenzlayern fĂŒr prĂ€zise Kolorierungen
Der Abschnitt behandelt die Verwendung von Referenzlayern, um prĂ€zise Kolorierungen zu ermöglichen, ohne dass Farben ĂŒber das gewĂŒnschte Objekt hinauslaufen. Die Autorin beschreibt die Probleme, die entstehen, wenn man mehrere Layer benutzt, und bietet Lösungen wie das Verwenden des Referenzlayers. Sie erklĂ€rt, wie man Layer als Referenz festlegt und wie dies die FĂŒllwerkzeug-Nutzung beeinflusst. Verschiedene 'Refer Multiple' Optionen wie 'Refer All Layers', 'Selected Layer' und 'Layer in Folder' werden besprochen.
đ Korrektes SchlieĂen von LĂŒcken in der Lineart
Die Autorin erlĂ€utert die 'Close Gap'-Eigenschaft des Fill Tools, die hilfreich ist, wenn Lineart nicht vollstĂ€ndig geschlossen ist. Sie erklĂ€rt, wie man die GröĂe der LĂŒcken einstellt, die das Fill Tool ignorieren soll, und geht auf die AbhĂ€ngigkeit von der Canvas-GröĂe ein. ZusĂ€tzlich wird die Option 'Fill Narrow Areas' und der 'Tolerance'-Wert beschrieben, die helfen, schmale Bereiche korrekt zu fĂŒllen, ohne dass die Farbe in unerwĂŒnschte Bereiche lĂ€uft.
đïž Toleranz und Farbabweichung richtig einstellen
Dieser Abschnitt behandelt die Toleranz- oder Farbabweichungseigenschaft des Fill Tools, die bestimmt, wie nahe beieinanderliegende Farben als gleich angesehen werden. Anhand eines Verlaufs zeigt die Autorin, wie die Toleranz die FĂŒllflĂ€che beeinflusst. Sie verwendet ein Beispiel mit Jinx' Haaren und Haut, um zu zeigen, wie man Farben austauscht, ohne unerwĂŒnschte Bereiche zu verĂ€ndern. Die Bedeutung einer geeigneten Toleranzeinstellung wird betont, besonders bei unsauberer oder texturierter Lineart.
đ Die Bedeutung der FlĂ€chenvergröĂerung
Die FlĂ€chenvergröĂerungseigenschaft des Fill Tools wird erklĂ€rt. Diese Funktion verhindert, dass an den RĂ€ndern der Lineart weiĂe oder leere Pixel zurĂŒckbleiben, indem sie die FĂŒllflĂ€che leicht vergröĂert. Die Autorin zeigt Beispiele mit unterschiedlichen Area Scaling-Werten und erklĂ€rt die Wichtigkeit der Einstellung 'To Darkest Pixel'. Sie betont, dass Area Scaling und Tolerance getrennte, aber sich ergĂ€nzende Funktionen sind.
â±ïž Effiziente Kolorierungstipps fĂŒr Clip Studio Paint
Die Autorin gibt abschlieĂend vier praktische Tipps, um das Kolorieren effizienter zu gestalten. Sie erklĂ€rt, wie man mit dem Tool 'Enclose and Fill' Silhouetten schnell fĂŒllt, weiĂe Pixel mit 'Paint Unfilled Area' ausbessert, Anti-Aliasing ausschaltet, um leere Pixel zu vermeiden, und mit der Option 'Apply to connected pixels only' alle Bereiche einer Farbe gleichzeitig Ă€ndert. Diese Tipps optimieren den Arbeitsablauf und sparen Zeit beim Kolorieren.

Highlights
Master the Fill Tool in Clip Studio Paint to color faster and more efficiently by understanding how it works.
Using digital art tools without fully understanding their properties can lead to frustration and inconsistent results.
Clip Studio Paintâs Fill Tool is a game-changer for artists transitioning from Photoshop.
The 'Refer Multiple' property allows the Fill Tool to refer to all visible layers, making coloring across different layers seamless.
Using the 'Reference Layer' feature allows the Fill Tool to only refer to a specific layer, improving accuracy when filling background colors.
The 'Close Gap' property in the Fill Tool helps avoid color bleeding by detecting and filling small gaps in the lineart.
The 'Tolerance/Color Margin' property determines how closely the Fill Tool matches colors and is crucial for recoloring specific areas without affecting adjacent colors.
The 'Area Scaling' property extends the colored area slightly beyond the lines, preventing unwanted white spaces along the edges.
Using 'Enclose and Fill' quickly creates color silhouettes, speeding up the coloring process for large areas.
The 'Paint Unfilled Area' tool can patch up any leftover blank or white pixels efficiently, saving time on manual corrections.
Turning off anti-aliasing with the Fill Tool can reduce the appearance of semi-transparent pixels along the edges, resulting in cleaner fills.
You can replace all areas of the same color on a layer by unchecking the 'Apply to connected pixels only' option in the Fill Tool.
The Fill Tool in Clip Studio Paint can refer to layers in folders, helping organize complex projects with many layers.
Using high values for both Area Scaling and Tolerance simultaneously may cause overlapping effects, requiring a balance between the two settings.
The next video will cover five essential features in Clip Studio Paint that many artists are not utilizing but should explore.
Transcripts
Learn to master the Fill Tool in Clip Studio Paint and lay down your colors faster and flawlessly by
actually understanding how the tool works.
Often we use a lot of fancy digital art tools without really knowing how they work.
We just look at the result and assume the results in the future will be similar.
However, that is not always the case, and tweaking and tuning values of 5, 6, 7 different properties
without getting the desired result is just infuriating.
In this video, I will explain and demonstrate
the functionalities of the Fill Tool and its subtools.
Last year I took a big step and transitioned from Photoshop to become a Clip Studio Paint artist.Â
And one of the first features that blew my mind in Clip Studio Paint was the Fill Tool.
So if youâre coming from Photoshop or something similar, you are probably not even aware that a Fill Tool with the right Â
properties can be such a game-changer for your efficiency when you colour your artwork.
And if youâre new here: Hi, Iâm Nadiaxel.
I'm a professional, self-taught digital artist.
And this is Diu, my little fluffy assistant.

Guys, it's time we dig into the tutorial!
Accessing the Fill Tool and Sub Tool Properties
When you open Clip Studio Paint and select the Fill Tool in the toolbar (itâs the Bucket icon)
you should be able to see two windows open up.
AÂ âTool Propertyâ window and the âSub Toolâ window.
If one or both windows do not show up, go to the Window menu and make sure thereâs a checkmark next to âTool Propertyâ and âSub Toolâ.
Your default settings probably look like this and even if they donât do not worry because weâll be changing the values around a lot anyway.
Introducing the Lineart
Now Iâve opened a file containing the lineart for my drawing.
It's Jinx from Arcane btw, in case you didn't figure it out already.
Because I just binged that series and it's...
FREAKIN'
AWESOME!
If you look out here in the Layers window, you can see that my lineart is on its own layer called âLineartâ
and below it is just a white background.
How you decide to structure your layers is up to you.
Sometimes I have all of my flat colors on the same layer
and sometimes I divide each section of the character into separate color layers.
It really depends on the individual drawing and artistâs preferences, so do it exactly how you want to.
In this example, however, Iâm using one single layer for all of my flat colors. I will just call it âFlatsâ.
So hereâs a demonstration and walkthrough of the magic of the Fill Tool in Clip Studio Paint.
The âRefer Multipleâ Property "Refer All Layers"
Select your âFlatsâ layer, or whatever your empty color layer is named,
and pick a color. Just make sure your color the layer is below your lineart layer.
You can now fill in color by simply clicking an area inside your lineart.
Wait a minute.
Why does the Fill Tool color inside the lines when I am not on the same layer as my lineart?
If it's on a separate layer...How does it know where the lines are?
Well, if you look in the Properties Window
youâll notice this property called âRefer Multipleâ. When you activate this property
you can choose from âAll Layersâ, âReference Layerâ, âSelected Layerâ and âLayer in Folderâ.
In my properties, I asked the Fill Tool to take all layers into consideration when it fills in
colors. So all the layers you might have out here in your Layers window will be taken into account,
when the Fill Tool is being used. Look what happens if I uncheck the âRefer Multipleâ property.
The Fill Tool now does not refer to any other layer than the currently selected layer,
so it just fills the entire layer with the same color, because the layer was initially empty.
Clicking the âRefer Multipleâ property back on and selecting âAll Layersâ simply means:
âWhat you see, is what the Fill Tool seesâ. Even if your lineart is scattered in 5, 10, 20 different layers...
...if you can see it, the Fill Layer refers to it for guidance.
The "Reference Layer"
Letâs take this a step further and say you have
outlined some background elements on a separate layer than your character. If you choose âRefer All Layers"
and start coloring your background
(on a separate color layer for your background of course)
youâll notice that the color does not bleed all the way behind the character.
For some people, this is fine, but I would personally prefer the background to fill the
entire canvas, so I can move my character around later if needed without there being a big blank
gap in the background colors. One way to avoid the blank gap would simply be to hide the lineart
layer with the character on, when youâre colouring in the background. The Fill Tool canât see a
hidden layer, and you can just turn it back on afterwards. However, this is not always a good
solution, especially if youâre working on bigger pieces with a lot (A LOT) of layers. So, another way to
get around this, is to use a âReference Layerâ.
Go to your Properties window and under âRefer Multiple"
select the little lighthouse-icon, which is the âReference Layerâ option.
Now go take a look in your Layers window. Anything here look familiar?
I'm waiting >w>
Well, if you look closely at the top of the window youâll see another icon with a Lighthouse on it.
Select the Background lineart layer and click on the Lighthouse icon.
Or you can right-click on the thumbnail of your layer and select âSet as Reference Layerâ. Â
See how the Lighthouse now shows up on your layer? That means, that now this layer is your Reference Layer.
And if you now select your color layer for your background and go grab the Fill Tool,
youâll see that the Fill Tool ignores all other layers except for your Reference Layer.
In other words, what you see is this - and what the Fill Tool sees,
is this.
And it doesnât matter how many different color layers you create, as long as the lineart layer remains your reference layer
all the Fill Tool sees
is this.
"Selected Layer" & "Layer in Folder"
The last two options of âRefer Multiple"
are just other variants of âwhat your Fill Tool refers toâ.
âSelected Layer'' only refers to the layers you click a little checkmark on.
Itâs like using a flexible Reference Layer that you can quickly turn on and off.
And you can have multiple layers selected at the same time.
âLayer in Folderâ only refers to the layers in the folder which you are currently working in.
The âClose Gapâ Property
If youâre like me and sometimes do not
close off your lineart completely, youâll likely have experienced the Fill Tool finding all of these
little gaps and letting the colour bleed through them onto the entire canvas - sending you on an
hour-long search for small gaps in your lineart to absolutely no oneâs pleasure. In Clip Studio Paint
you can ask the Fill Tool to, not only ignore, but also fill in these gaps for you AS you color.
The five bars represent the size of gaps that the Fill Tool will be looking for - you can
further specify a gap-size value, by clicking on the little arrow out here and type in a number.
The gap size will differ depending on how small or big you draw your gaps. And it also depends
on how big your canvas is - since gaps will be bigger, the bigger your canvas is.
So if youâre using this feature, try with small gaps first, and if that is
not enough, just adjust the gap size property accordingly, until you find some kind of a sweet spot.
Using a higher value of the âClose Gapâ property may result in the Fill Tool not being able to
reach narrow spaces in your lineart - simply because it thinks there is a gap in your lineart it needs to close.
To avoid this, the first thing we need to look for is to make sure you have a setting
active called âFill Narrow Areasâ. You can check it by clicking the little Plus-icon next to the
âClose Gapâ property. If this icon is not there by default, simply go to the Window menu and
select âSub Tool Detailâ. Here you can click the little Eye-icon to unhide any hidden properties.
Once you make sure that âFill Narrow Areasâ is turned on,
but the Fill Tool still cannot get to the narrowest parts of your lineart,
just increase the value of the Tolerance property until you get the desired result.
Which leads me exactly to the next subject.
The âTolerance/Colour Marginâ Property
The Tolerance, also known as the Colour Margin, refers to the tolerance in the difference of
colours when colouring or making a selection with the Selection Tool. The reason I mention
the Selection Tool is because it also has a Tolerance property and it works in the
exact same way as the Fill Toolâs tolerance.
I'll try to explain this concept with some visuals.
Look at this gradient. It goes from white and
all the way to black. I now pick a color, set the Tolerance to 60, and click in the
white area. The Fill Tool now fills up a big chunk of the gradientâs range with my color.
If I change the Tolerance down to 30, it fills less of the same range.
And if I lower it even further to 5, it only fills a very small portion of the gradientâs
entire range. The value of the tolerance is set from the value of the pixel you click on - that
means if you click in the black area instead of the white, like we did before, the tolerance
runs from that point instead. In other words;Â the tolerance determines how close the next color
has to be, to be regarded as the same color.
I know this can be quite hard to understand, so let me show an example with some colors.
Here I have colored the hair and the skin on the character Jinx, and theyâre on the same layer.
Say I want to change the hair colour, but not the skin colour. I pick the new colour and fill it in
with my Fill Tool by clicking on the hair. But the new hair color bleeds all the way into the skin.
This happens because the Tolerance of my Fill Tool is quite high. In other words, the Fill Tool
does not distinguish between the hair color and the skin color. But if we lower the Tolerance,
the Fill Tool can now easily distinguish between the hair color and the skin color,
making it possible to re-color the hair, without affecting the skin.
The amount of tolerance youâll need, depends on your specific colors,
so try some different settings to find the sweet spot for your current drawing. Â
The Tolerance or Color Margin property is especially helpful if your lineart is not...
...well, solid and crisp.
I often use a semi-transparent brush or a textured brush to line my artwork,
which gives the lineart kind of a blurry or uneven look if you zoom in.
Sometimes I even use my lineart-brush to shade a bit, making it more difficult for the Fill Tool to fill entire areas,
because it sees the shading as lines that it needs to separate the colors from.
In those cases, you can turn the tolerance
UP when you use the Fill Tool. This also eliminates a lot of white or empty pixels along edges.
And hereâs an example where lowering the Tolerance value might be more helpful for you.
If youâre going to paint in some details on your character using only colors and
not lineart - in this case, I want to paint some stripes on Jinxâs pants - you might experience Â
the Fill Tool just coloring past your colored area - which is frustrating.
But try to lower the Tolerance in these cases, so Clip Studio Paint can now better differentiate between the base color and your detail color.
A lower Tolerance now lets me paint within the area between the two colors.
The âArea Scalingâ Property
Another crucial property of the Fill Tool in Clip Studio Paint is the âArea Scalingâ.
Activating âArea Scalingâ simply means that when you put down a color with the Fill Tool,
the colored area will extend itself a little further, so you will avoid
those nasty white or empty pixels by the border of your lineart.
It is important that your Area Scaling property is using the âScaling Modeâ called
âTo Darkest Pixelâ. You can access the Scaling Property by clicking the little Plus-icon next
to the Area Scaling property. âTo Darkest Pixelâ is probably your default setting,
but just check to be sure. This setting means that when you are using area scaling,
the colored area will be extended, but only extends to the
darkest pixel in your lineart - preventing the color from overflowing past your lines.
Here is an example with three **identical** sets of circles. The top circles have thicker lineart and
the bottom ones have thinner lineart. On a color layer below the lineart layer, I will fill in the
circles with different amounts of Area Scaling. In the first two circles, I turn Area Scaling off,
in the next circles I add the value of 5, and in the last ones I max out the Area Scaling
with the value of 20. Now when I lower the opacity of the lineart layer, you can see
how far the color has extended at the different Area Scaling values.
Be aware that using high values of Area Scaling and Tolerance simultaneously can give some results
that require some cleanup. They sometimes even seem to be working against each other
and a lot of artists consider these two properties to be kinda the same thing.
However, that is not true, as the Area Scaling only extends colors, while the Tolerance determines
which colours are considered different colours or the same colour. But now that you know how
both properties work, you can find that sweet spot for your drawing where these two properties
supplement each other best instead of fighting each other. Â
And finally, I want to share a few features and tips on how to optimise your coloring
workflow so you can color your artwork more efficiently.
Tip #1 - Use âEnclose and Fillâ to quickly create silhouettes for your colors
If you have a character that you quickly want to fill instead of clicking all little areas with the
Fill Tool. Select the Sub Tool called âEnclose and Fillâ.
Just check to make sure it refers to the correct layer. Pick your fill color and
then simply draw an area outside the object you want to fill and let go of your mouse.
BAM!
Silhouette!
Tip #2 - Patch up white or blank pixels quickly using the âPaint Unfilled Areaâ tool
Sometimes, even with the best Fill Tool settings applied, there will be areas that the Fill
Tool simply cannot reach. In these cases simply go to the Sub Tool window again and select
âPaint Unfilled Areaâ. Then simply mark the
areas where there are white or blank pixels and do not be afraid of drawing outside your
lineart - Clip Studio Paint is clever enough to know where you want it to fill in the missing colors.
Which is exactly what this tool does.
Tip #3 Turning off Anti-Aliasing when using the Fill Tool
To further avoid white or blank pixels along the edges of your colors is to turn off
anti-aliasing when using the Fill Tool. You can turn it off in the Properties window.
The difference between using and not using anti-aliasing is the little
semi-transparent pixels that you can see along the edge here. Without anti-aliasing,
it is easier for Clip Studio Paint to distinguish between the colors when using Tolerance
and you will avoid a lot of white or blank pixels by the border of the colored area.
And lastlyâŠ
Tip #4 - Changing all areas of the same color at the same time
If you want to replace all the colors of the same color, for instance, the specific color used for the hair on the entire layer,
simply uncheck the âApply to connected pixels onlyâ and with the Fill Tool, you can now replace
that specific color with a new one using a single click over the entire layer, whether or not the
colored areas lie next to each other or not.
Okay, that was it. You guys should be mastering the Fill Tool in Clip Studio
