PRO:
When starting a career to the best in comic drawing, I prefer to use CSP PRO. It is initial.
A version of CSP and contains various features and tools. We can access lots of painting tools and options and a library free of cost that includes more than 10k assets. It is more affordable compared to the pricing option of EX.
EX:
To explore more CSP professionally and immensely, the version EX is preferred. We can create our animations, comics too. This version has high rendering quality, and it is more expensive than the PRO. It is used to create 3D projects, and it has incredible tools and functionalities than the PRO version.
Pro's in Clip Studio Paint:
1. It does not only have tools but also consists of a lot of sub tools.
2. We can toggle between pen, pencil, and whatever tools are associated with each other.We
can toggle back and forth in the toolbar section.
3. One of the main advantages in CSP is 3D feature is used to modify the objects, and we can drag and drop those objects and models.
4. EX version has a pretty good animation feature for doing the projects.PRO version has almost
Twenty-four frames of animations which is plenty enough for the projects.
5. The Dark Theme feature is available in every software to reduce the strain in the eyes, and CSP
also uses this theme.
6. By using Artificial Intelligence, we can give automatic coloring for animations. This technology helps us to reduce the waste of time by coloring the drawings.
7. We can make our brushes. They are the core things even in every painting software. Without a meeting, the painting is impossible. Brushes in CSP has a lot of options for
different purposes.
E.g., Big Brush Set, DV Brush set, etc
8. CSP is one of the famous digital painting software because it is flexible and easy for newbies. It professionally has advanced features for drawings. It is suitable for beginners and professionals too.

Cons in Clip Studio Paint:
1. In Photoshop software, we can manipulate the tools like texts, fonts, etc. But in CSP, the manipulation of fonts and texts is not possible.
2. While setting up this software, the new user may face difficulties. Due to more options, it is somewhat complex while installing in our devices. But when we installed the software in an
accurate manner, then it is easy for beginners too.
3. CSP has two versions PRO & EX are making differences with the pricing. Approx difference between the pricing of both versions is $150 for features like layouts, importing files, etc.
4. In CSP, the keybinding is somewhat complicated compared to the other software's like photoshop. We can bind the keys using keyframes in CSP. Sometimes it has strange binding
qualities.
5. The interface in this software also seems like steering(knotty). It is not a big thing because we can customize the CSP using various tools.
6. The main drawback is that it does not have an audio format while doing animations. For using the audio functions, we need to download or install from the other websites.
7. Text tools are used for basics only. After splitting, the text will not give the text size correctly, and the font menu is impossible, i.e., we can't rotate the texts.
8. It doesn't have any wrap tools or dodge tools used to create color illustrations.
