CLIP STUDIO PAINT EX - Version 1 - Perpetual License - for Microsoft Windows and MacOS

It's a great software, I bought it for a college class I'm taking and it's very versitile and relitive easy to use. The built in shop is great too as it allows for easy access to community made brushes which I use all the time. I would also recomend this option if you're wanting to use this as a cheaper way to use clip studio as the upgrade path is generally cheaper than buying the online license unless you're buying it during their seasonal sales where it can be up to half off. I recomend this to any artist and animator (if you upgrade to version 3 or above if you want audio scrubbing). There's also lots of videos ou there if you have any qusetions and there are guides and blogs linked in the software that update regularly giving tips and tricks to use in the software.

I've been using Clip Studio Paint Pro for over four years now, this program should be what any inspiring artist uses if you want to draw digitally. Clip Studio Paint EX has the full Animation tools, making it perfect for people who wish to make animation, Gif, and that is in addition to all the features of Pro. My only gripe with it is the 200+ asking price feels a bit pricey when you take into account that the $48 dollar Pro has most of the functions as Ex just with a more stripped down animation tools. If this was around $100 to $140 that would be a more fair price with what it adds to the functions of Pro. If you are only planning on drawing illustration or comic buy Pro, but if you are serious about making animations then this is indeed worth the money, though you might want to wait until the yearly sale on Clip Studio Paints site where it does go down to the $100 range.

Listen, I don't normally come on Amazon reviews to give my opinion but I think I have to with this product. My goal in life is to become an Illustrator/Animator and I plan on pursuing it in Grad School which is coming up soon for me. And let me tell you, that this product has everything and MORE for me to learn. It has tutorials on almost every subject about drawing, animation, illustrating, storyboarding, etc. that's already BUILT-IN the software. I can be able to download MANY brushes for free--brushes that PROFESSIONAL manga-ka artists use mind you--and other assets that help with my work.It has an online community of people also built-in, so that if you ask any questions on Clip Studio, someone is bound to answer your question in a few hours tops. Sure it's a little pricey, but what isn't nowadays. And if you're really serious about drawing, animating, illustrating, or what have you; then I IMPLORE you to buy this product.(P.S. I have the hardware/CD version of this product. I don't know how the downloaded version is)

The software is great and works great on my laptop and is excellent for a first-time purchase and not having to pay over and over again while having access to the 3d models and animation software.I wouldn't recommend this software to any beginning artist because of the high price and can be too overwhelming to understand at first and I highly recommend anyone who already has some experience with using painting software before purchasing.This software does have many features that do include tutorials and assets for comics and much more, the product is overall great one of the best art software that I have ever owned but I would recommend beginning artists start off with free software first become committing to a large purchase. if so it's a great purchase.

This program is amazing and has a lot to offer. You can do animation, you can create comics, you can do regular drawings, you can even create 3D models. There are a plethora of tutorial vids available on youtube and also on their site so if you take the time to properly learn this program you can pretty much create whatever you want. There is also a database of user uploaded effects and materials that you can download for free. I really have nothing negative to say about this program, I've only had it since April but I have had no issues thus far.

The pro version only gives you 24frames(1second). I bought that before EX and its pretty useless unless you do animated illustrations. Getting this EX version fixes that, but that said... I dont make animation as often haha but either way this allows me to if needed.However, and its a big however. If you buy this EX its ONE LICENSE. I mean you can only install to one computer. Other than that Im satisfied.

I've been using Photoshop for better than a decade. It's nice to work with software that doesn't take the long way around to get anything done. I got to work with a copy of Clip Studio Paint and played around with it for several weeks. I couldn't be more impressed with this software. Born out of what was Manga Studio 5 comes a graphics program ready and able to not only compete with Photoshop, but possibly REPLACE it! Most of Photoshop's shortcut keys translate to either the same thing or an equivalent. Videos galore online to learn the software. The perspective rulers functions ALONE are worth the price of the software. If I could rate it 10 stars, I would.

I went from pro to ex with this since I didn't want to update to v2 or v3 because of the increased price and having to have internet to use.
