How to Move Downloaded Brushes in Clip Art Studio

Clip Studio Paint breaks your fine art cosmos tools into three categories: Pens, Pencils, and Brushes.  It's completely arbitrary, simply it is suggested that you organize your tools along those lines simply for sanity'southward sake.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to add a brush, move a castor around to a dissimilar category, create and delete a new category, and delete the castor. Equally a bonus, I'll also show you the trick for how to add together multiple pencils or pens or brushes at once.

Grab a New Brush

Commencement, download the brush/pen/tool/what accept you to a directory of your choosing.  Call up where it is. This will be important.

Hither, I have a pack of brushes I picked upwards from the DAUB Brushes site, all together in their own directory.

OK, get back to Clip Studio Paint.

Preparing to Add a New Brush

The big fox with this process is that yous need to pick where you want to install your brush to before you lot install information technology.

First, push button "B" to go to the brushes.

On my screen hither, y'all can run into I take 3 tabs named "Watercolor", "Oil Paint," and "India Ink."

Go along in mind: These distinctions are completely capricious. They're ultimately meaningless. You could put pens and pencils in here for all Clip Studio Pigment cares. Merely, for consistency's sake and your own mental health, I suggest running with this categorization of the tools. Continue the brushes together in one spot, pens in some other, and pencils in a 3rd.

For this case, I desire to add an ink brush to my tool prepare. So permit me click on the India Ink tab first.

Import the New Brush

To add together my new castor to this category, I click on the little button in the upper left corner here with the three lines and the arrow. The documentation refers to it as a "menu," so we'll call information technology the Brush Menu here.

That brings upwards some possibilities. Nosotros want to "Import Sub Tool…"

That volition pop open a file picker. Sub tools take ".sut" file extensions. If your Finder is set up to evidence file extensions, you can read it hands enough, only don't worry: Whatsoever files that aren't tools will be grayed out in any case, so don't worry nigh it.

Likewise, you tin only add one brush at a time this way. You tin't shift click to get a agglomeration at one time, or CTRL-CLICK to pick other individual tools. Don't bother trying.

Just pick the one you want and click Open up. Or just double click the file proper noun.

We're going with the DAUB_Fluid_Ink brush here.

Magically, your File Picker closes and BAM! your new tool is in that location at the bottom of the list.

Congratulations on importing your outset castor.

Motility the Castor Effectually

Now, you can drag and drib it somewhere else in the list if you desire to modify the order effectually.

You lot can even create a new tab past dragging this brush into an empty spot amongst the tabs. This volition create a new family unit of tools, which volition be automatically named after this brush, in particular. Y'all can then correct click or CTRL-click on that proper name to modify it if you wish.

You tin move the tool to any other tab from that new tab by dragging and dropping it to another tab. And, if information technology was the only tool in that beginning tab, that tab will disappear. It lost its raison d'etre at that place.

For those of yous who prefer a practiced animated gif, I give yous this:

Deleting Brushes

To get rid of the brush, itself, you can right click or CTRL-CLICK on the brush and choose "Delete sub tool." You will get a confirmation box before the act is washed. Y'all won't meet ane in this example considering I once clicked the "Do Not Show Me This Window" option, so information technology never pops up for me anymore..

If you lot DELETE a tool like that when information technology's the sole tool in a tab, the tab will disappear also. It's not simply moving the tool that volition collapse the tab, but too deleting it.

Here, I'll show you:

Import Tool. Move information technology to create a new tab. Right Click and delete tool. The tab is now gone forth with the brush.

Multiple Brushes

At that place is a play tricks to adding multiple brushes at one time. You have to open a Finder window on the screen. Hither'southward where you lot can CTRL-click individual brushes, or just shift-click to highlight a agglomeration that are already in a row.

Then, click dorsum to Clip Studio Paint.  Now, drag and drop that brush or bunch of brushes to an empty spot in the tab where you want to add them. In the animated GIF below, I have the Finder window within of Clip Studio Paint'southward proscenium of tools, but behind were an image I'd be working on would be.  You can also motility brushes over to Clip Studio Paint from a window on another monitor, if yous have one.

The trick here is that both the Finder window and CSP accept to be visible at the same fourth dimension.  If you have that, you can pull this off.

Subsequently that, y'all can motion them around to the different tabs if you so choose. Remember: stay organized!

There is no way to delete a group of tools at the same time. At to the lowest degree, none that I know of yet. Leave me a comment if you know that trick.

And that's how you add, move around, and delete brushes, pens, and pencils.
