4 Tools that don't Follow the Rules

It is time to relive my greatest secret. My tools of the trade that are beyond the world. I'm kidding but I will show 4 tools that have some odd uses. Each of the tools used is standard with every version of Clip Studio so everyone can use them. The 4 tools are the Perspective tool, the Tone Scraping tool, the Flash tool, and the Droplet tool. These tools are a wide range of uses to don’t follow their title, here are a few examples.

1. The Perspective tool for speed line:

Now I know what you’re thinking. We already have the Flash and saturation tool, why use the Perspective tool. Simple; control. With the Flash/ Saturation tool, you can some control, but you can’t control everything. Plus, if you want your manga to have a more hand-drawn, traditional look, then this is the way to go. Use this you can vary the line-weight and control where your lines go.

2. Flash tool for perspective:

I know, I know, we have a Perspective tool, but hear me out. Setting up the Perspective tool is a pain, especially when you're on a roll thumbnailing. That why the saturated tool is perfect for a quick Perspective grid. Plus, they're easier to control where they are on the screen. This tool is perfect when you are in a rush to get to the next panel of a thumbnail, so you don’t lose the idea.

3. Tone Scraping for everything:

This is a newer tool to clip studio so, not a lot of trick has been found for it yet. However, I find myself using it for just about everything clouds, effects, and even shading. The Tone Scraping tool, just like all the tools listed here, is as useful as you make it.

4. Droplet tool for trees:

The Droplet is used for blood, but you know what else looks like blood? Trees. Yes, the Droplet tool can be used as a tree brush. This tool is at the bottom because it’s kind of overshadowed by the asset program clip studio made recently. There is brush made for trees now, but hey it still works. The process is a little slow but, back then it got the jobs done for younger me.

There you have it, 4 tools with odd uses. The Perspective tool, the Tone Scraping tool, the Flash tool, and the Droplet tool. Hopefully, this shows that every tool has more than one use to it.
