Clip Studio Paint EX for Mac is a fully-featured drawing application specifically optimized to enable manga and comic artists to easily realize their inspiration and quickly design, evolve, and finalize their illustrations with the help of streamlined tools and effects. Built on top of the popular Clip Studio Paint platform, this standalone digital drawing application manages to collect all the necessary tools that are regularly used by illustrators from all over the world, enabling them to effortlessly focus on the drawing of comic, manga, illustrations, graphic novels and stylized environments without encountering issues with the user interface, tools, services, and other roadblocks.

As a stark difference to many other similar offerings, Clip Studio Paint is fully focused on enabling both new and seasoned users to get immersed in the process of drawing and finalizing illustrations. This is achieved with the help of a streamlined interface, fully customizable layout of the editing tools, and a wide array of paintbrushes and coloring tools that make drawing a breeze. Users can even create their own unique bushes that can help them achieve the final image design with ease.

The process of drawing can be done with both mouse and touch inputs on Mac, and if you are feeling inspired on the go, you can even find this exact app available on Apple’s iPad platform. Once finished with the drawing, coloring, compositing, and making final touches, users can access a comprehensive Export tool that will prepare their painting for use in your specific projects, saving to long-term storage, immediate sharing on social networks, and more.

Installation and Use

Clip Studio Paint EX for macOS comes in an installation package that weighs just over 300 MB, enabling you to quickly download and deploy it on your home or work Mac and laptop. The app is optimized for all modern versions of macOS, and it can initially be used via a 30-day FREE trial. In addition to the English language, the app is fully translated into four other languages - French, Spanish, German, and Korean.

Once up and running, you will notice at first glance that the user interface of Clip Studio Paint EX resembles many other similar apps. In the center you get large canvas where you can start drawing, and on the sides are either tool pickers, or specific properties for handling every element of your image. The app is optimized for comic and manga designers and illustrators, promoting their most commonly used tools to prominent positions where you can access them quickly.
