learning how to use Clip Studio Paint 🕺 #projecthailmary #rylandgrace #rocky #fistmybump Step-by-step Clip Studio Paint guide to recreate the Project Hail Mary Ryland Grace edit using the "Fist Bump" storyboard. #projecthailmary #rylandgrace #rocky #fistmybump This guide shows how to use Clip Studio Paint to create a Project Hail Mary edit centered on the Ryland Grace and Rocky "Fist Bump" storyboard test by molzysketch. It preserves the original storyboard phrasing and focuses on practical steps to reproduce the edit. Start: open the "Fist Bump" storyboard - Import the storyboard panels titled “Fist Bump” storyboard test by molzysketch as reference layers. Keep the framing and poses visible while you work. - Create separate layers for line art, color flats, shading, and effects so you can adjust each element without altering the reference. Composition and layout - Match the storyboard’s camera angles and panel proportions. Use the ruler and frame tools to replicate panel borders and perspective guides. - Place Ryland Grace and Rocky according to the storyboard poses; maintain the original spacing and contact point of the fist bump. Line work and inking - Use a textured pen or G-pen preset for character outlines to mimic the storyboard’s line quality. Trace key poses from the reference, preserving timing and gesture. - Keep outlines on a dedicated layer and reduce opacity of the reference to avoid color contamination. Color and flats - Block in base colors on separate flat layers beneath the line art. Use selection tools and the fill tool with reference layers locked to prevent bleeding. - Choose a palette that reflects the Project Hail Mary tone—neutral uniforms for Ryland Grace and distinct tones for Rocky—while staying true to the storyboard’s contrasts. Shading and lighting - Add a multiply layer for shadows and a screen or add layer for highlights. Follow the storyboard’s light source and preserve the dramatic emphasis on the handshake/fist bump. - Use soft brushes for ambient shading and textured brushes for surface detail to match the storyboard’s feel. Effects and final touches - Include motion lines or small impact marks around the fist bump to match the storyboard’s emphasis. Apply subtle glow or particle effects on an overlay layer if the storyboard indicates energy or emphasis. - Check edge cleanup and refine hands where contact occurs to preserve the original "fist bump" interaction. Export and share - Export a high-resolution PNG for stills or sequence panels as a PNG sequence for animated edits. Keep an editable Clip Studio Paint (.clip) file with all layer groups labeled: reference, line, flats, shadows, highlights, effects. Takeaway and engagement prompt - Recreate the Project Hail Mary Ryland Grace edit by starting from the "Fist Bump" storyboard test, preserving panel composition, line quality, and the fist bump contact. Which panel detail did you focus on first—pose, lighting, or line weight? Share your edit and tag your reference: molzysketch.
