To invert the canvas horizontally in CLIP STUDIO PAINT, navigate to the View menu and select Rotate/Invert, then choose Flip Horizontal.
This action will mirror the image on your canvas along the vertical axis, effectively creating a flipped version of your artwork. This is a useful technique for:
- Checking proportions and composition: Flipping the canvas allows you to see your work from a fresh perspective, revealing any imbalances or errors that might be less noticeable in its original orientation.
- Correcting drawing errors: By identifying reversed issues, you can fix them more easily. It tricks your brain into seeing the image in a new way.
- Working with symmetrical designs: If you're creating a symmetrical image, flipping the canvas can help you ensure that both sides are even and consistent.
Steps to Invert the Canvas:
- Open CLIP STUDIO PAINT.
- Open the canvas you want to invert.
- Go to the "View" menu.
- Select "Rotate/Invert."
- Choose "Flip Horizontal."
The canvas will now be flipped horizontally. You can repeat these steps to flip it back to its original orientation. There is no keyboard shortcut assigned by default, but you can customize keyboard shortcuts in CLIP STUDIO PAINT to assign one to this function if you use it frequently.
