- Finally started experimenting in CSP
- All previous times I would open it and give up after five minutes without even trying anything
- This time I did not give up and I am better for it
- Learning CSP will be hard, but I know it will be so rewarding!
- It was helpful to have a sketch ready to work on
- As opposed to drawing something on the spot; that alone consumes a lot of mental energy.
- With a drawing ready to go, I can focus on following the steps I would normally take to line and color the picture.
- I didn’t get very far today, if at all.
- But that’s okay! I have to learn where everything is.
- I am intimidated by all the tools, options, and settings. This is all brand new territory.
- By following my standard digital art procedure in an unfamiliar software, I can have a baseline to operate from.
- Imagine how long it would take to learn CSP as a complete beginner to digital art - or just art - in general. I shudder at the mere thought.
- Things I learned / figured out today
- Explored some of the brush config settings. I figured out how to mess with the brush settings and toggle textures.
- Assigned some familiar keyboard shortcuts for frequently used functions: open canvas from clipboard; convert brightness to opacity; fill layer.
- Questions I have about CSP so far
- How do I zoom in with the tablet pen clicker? Holding down the clicker drags my view of the canvas, but the spacebar serves the same purpose
- How do I assign a keyboard shortcut to flip my view of the canvas? In SAI2 I press the H key
- What keys do I hold down to rotate the canvas? In SAI2, I hold down Alt+Spacebar.
- Does my version of CSP have the timelapse function? I purchased this back in 2015 I think.
- Looking for beginner-friendly tutorials.
- I wish it was like a game with tutorials in which features are disabled/hidden until you get to them. CSP has so many bells and whistles the important stuff gets lost in the noise.
