ColorLab for Clip Studio Paint

This is NO regular Procreate offering. A new cornerstone for creators bringing the looks we crave. It may appear expensive but think of it as four or more excellent packages bundled into one. The support notably goes beyond the norm with this company. Red, Yellow and blue. Three cheers for Colorlab.

There is something satisfying about coloring with colorlab brushes.

I particularly like the rough brushes and the shader brushes that bring out that gritty vintage look.

I've never liked how digital brushes looked too perfect and the colorlab really makes my drawings feel vintage

I've been using Clip Studio Paint for about a year now with the goal of improving my coloring and enhancing my traditional cartoons. As a huge comic fan, I wanted to capture that classic, old-school comic style. A cartoonist named Max Riffner (look him up he's awesome) recommended it to me, but at first, I wasn’t sure if it was worth the investment. I tried creating my own Benday dots brushes, but it was time-consuming and still didn’t look as polished as the software I saw advertised.

However, during Black Friday, I decided to give it a shot, and I’m so glad I did. Installation was easy, and I followed a step-by-step guide using my own line art (see pics). Not only did it teach me how to work with colors, but it also showed me how to use textures, and it came with paper samples, color guides, and great customer support. Even though I got it on sale, I’d have happily paid full price knowing everything it offers.

Within just a couple of days, I finished my third attempt (see 2nd pic and zoom in), and I'm really pleased with the look I can achieve. The tools are intuitive, everything is organized, and I learned more than I expected. There are even free brushes available when you sign up for the newsletter, I've yet to play with, and the support videos and forums are helpful. It's so easy to use that it makes it fun to experiment with. I’m excited to see where this takes my cartooning.

Highly recommended!

Of all of the Retrosupply stuff I have, this is by far my favorite. Colorlab is just so much fun to use, and while it can be a bit tricky with the formulas, it's quite easy to use once you get into a good rhythm with it.

I found that, with the CSP version, I couldn't really size the brush textures down below 50. If I try to go below 50, the texture creates a weird band affect, especially with the 20% brushes. (both dots and lines) It could be that it's a weird visual glitch with my Huion Kamvas tablet, but I just wanted to share that in case anyone else has that issue.

Anyway, I love this pack and fully intend on using it for all of my comic projects. It's the best pack from Retrosupply!

I love using this for making things on my iPad + RSCO has great customer support that helped me pick this product when the one I originally purchased was not quite the right fit!
