Efficiently Importing Multiple Brushes to Clip Studio Paint on Android Devices

As an artist, having access to a wide range of brushes in Clip Studio Paint can greatly enhance your creative process. However, importing multiple brushes individually can be a time-consuming task. In this article, we'll explore two methods for importing brushes to Clip Studio Paint on Android devices, including a new, more efficient approach that utilizes multi-window view and bulk importation.

Step 1: Download and Extract Brush Files

Before importing brushes, you'll need to download and extract the brush files to your Android device. Typically, the files can be found in the "Download" folder of your device's internal storage.

The Old Method: Importing Brushes Manually

The traditional method of importing brushes involves opening Clip Studio Paint, navigating to the "Tool" palette, and clicking on the three bars to access the "Sub Tool" property. From there, you can import brushes individually by clicking on the "Import" button and selecting the desired brush file. While this method gets the job done, it can be a tedious process, especially when dealing with a large number of brushes.

The New Method: Importing Brushes in Bulk

For Android devices that support multi-window view, such as the Galaxy S7, there's a more efficient way to import brushes in bulk. Here's how:

1. Open Clip Studio Paint and your file manager (e.g., My Files) simultaneously using split-screen mode.
2. Navigate to the extracted brush folders in your file manager.
3. Select all the folders containing brushes and press "Copy."
4. Go back to Clip Studio Paint and navigate to the "Tool" palette.
5. Click on the three bars to access the "Sub Tool" property.
6. Click on the "Import" button and select "Paste" to import all brushes at once.

Note: This method assumes your device supports multi-window view and may not work on all Android devices. Additionally, it's unclear whether Clip Studio Paint on other Android devices would work the same way.

Organizing Brushes with Sub Tool Groups

Once you've imported your brushes, you can create custom sub tool groups to keep them organized. To do this:

1. Duplicate an existing sub tool.
2. Click and hold the duplicated sub tool, then drag it to the sub tool group section.
3. A red line will appear, indicating where the new sub tool group will be created.
4. Release the drag to create the new sub tool group.
5. Rename the sub tool group by clicking on the three lines (settings) and entering a new name.
6. Click OK to save the changes.

By following these steps, you can efficiently import multiple brushes to Clip Studio Paint on your Android device and keep them organized using sub tool groups.
