Figure Tool

The [Figure] tool allows you to create all kinds of shapes such as straight lines, curves and figures. In addition, it allows you to create saturated lines and stream lines for drawing manga.

The [Figure] tool comes with preconfigured settings called [Sub Tool].
You can change the sub tool by clicking the buttons on the [Sub tool] palette.
Furthermore, using the [Tool Property] palette, you can configure detailed settings for the selected sub tool.

In DEBUT, you cannot use any sub tools in the [Stream line]/[Saturated line] sub tool groups.

·Settings available on the [Tool Property] vary depending on the selected sub tool. For details on settings, see the CLIP STUDIO PAINT Tool Setting Guide. ·You can select the line preview method from [Preferences] dialog box > [Tools] > [Figure tool guidelines].

Sub tool example: Straight line

Selecting [Straight line] on the [Sub tool] palette allows you to draw a single straight line. Dragging on the canvas allows you to draw a straight line.

Sub tool example: Curve

Selecting [Curve] on the [Sub tool] palette allows you to draw a curve. Drag the curve from the start to finish and move the mouse to adjust its curvature. Click to finalize the curve.

If you are drawing with a pen or a finger, after designating the end of the curve, you can drag from a place on the canvas to adjust its curvature.

When [Curve] on the [Sub Tool Detail] palette is selected, drag the curve from the start to finish, and then click on two places to adjust its curvature. If you are drawing with a pen or a finger, you can drag from two places on the canvas to adjust its curvature.

Example of Sub Tool: Polyline

Selecting [Polyline] on the [Sub tool] palette allows you to draw a series of connected straight line segments that pass through multiple points.

Sub tool example: Continuous & Bezier curves

Selecting [Continuous curve] on the [Sub tool] palette allows you to draw a series of connected straight lines and curves that pass through mul­tiple points. Select [Bezier curve] to draw a complex curve using multiple control points.

For details on how to draw continuous curves, see "Drawing Continuous curves & Bezier curves".
