To further assist new artists, any student who takes the free course in the first year will get a 1-year license for Clip Studio Paint Debut*1, the entry level of the app.
Bobby’s comment on the course: “Clip Studio Paint has become my go-to painting app because it’s intuitive, built for artists, and packed with features other programs don’t have. If you're curious why so many pros are switching over, this free course walks you through the features and workflows that make CSP a game-changer!”
