Clip Studio Paint is now on version 5, it was version 3 in 2024; earlier versions of CSP can be downloaded. There are (and continue to be) many changes in the tools, menus and way tools work in CSP. None of which are a major hurdle to using this book, especially once into the Tutorial from page 114 onwards. The tutorials are excellent for showing different approaches to creating an image in CSP. Following how an artist works and then trying your own variations on the methods, tips and tools used is, for me, an excellent way to learn. I work through the getting started with the book, the current CSP User Guide open in a browser and making notes in the book or inserting larger notes or print-outs into it. The only issue I had was finding a pen to make notes on the glossy paper stock which dried quickly and doesn't smear; I use a Sigma Micron.
I do disagree with the back-cover statement that CSP is "highly accessible" - it needs the right set of tutorials and references to help with that and this book certainly does the job.

One of the most valuable books for learning to shade characters

Great book and great value!

Although the wait was quite long, the book is very meaningful and beautiful.

So well made, real care and consideration has been taken in the creation of this magazine (although it feels more appropriate to call it a book).

Even if I didn't like the artists, the differences in how their work and words have printed is almost worth the buying it. In the course of writing this review I've just found out that there's an ASTRE Volume 02 (Astre Two)! Off to track this down right away!

The planar busts are high-quality products. There was a shipping issue (which was not the seller’s fault), but the customer service team resolved it quickly. Many thanks!

Really nice book

I'ma huge fan of Ross Draws and I wan excited to receive this book. In addition the print quality is great.

I've been wanting to get this artist's art book for a long time.
I'm really happy that it includes the creative process as well. Thank you.

So nice book
The content is amazing
The packaging much better than Amazon, and the shipping time faster than I thought!

Loved it
