Preparing the Layer (Setting the Clipping Mask)

Set a [Clipping Mask] for the new layer you have created.

1Click the [Layer] palette → [New Raster Layer]. Double click the layer name of the layer you have created and change the layer name to "Retouch hair".

2Change the stacking order on the [Layer] palette so that the "Retouch hair" layer is imme­diately above the "Hair" layer.

Hide the "Highlight" layer so that the line drawing can be easily seen when coloring.

With the iPad, move any layers by hovering the mouse cursor over the grip on the right side of the layer and move it. For details, see "Try Drawing an Illustration in CLIP STUDIO PAINT Basic Guide"  → "Drawing the Fine Details"  → "Drawing the Eyes (Combine Layers)"  → "Tips: When unable to move layers on the iPad." .

3While the "Retouch hair" layer is selected on the [Layer] palette, click [Clip at Layer Below].

The "Retouch hair" layer is clipped to the "Hair" layer and a red vertical line appears next to the thumbnail.

Tips: What Is Clipping at Layer Below?

Clipped layers reference the drawn area on the layer immediately below so that the selected layer is only displayed within this area. The content drawn on the clipped layer is not displayed in undrawn areas (transparent pixels) on the layer below. This is useful when you want to add shadow or touch up the drawn area on another layer. If the layer set as the reference for clipping (the "Hair" layer in this example) is hidden, the content drawn on the clipped layer (the "Retouch hair" layer in this example) is also not displayed.
