Folders have been flattened to reduce confusion.
Added prefixes to filenames. These will ensure the brushes are imported in the intended order but won’t affect the brush names.
Added new brushes Aioli (Primary dense painting brushes) to Main Set/Tahini.
Added new brushes Oliva (Primary dilute painting Brushes) to Main Set/Tahini.
Retired Tahini as the primary painting brushes. This is now replaced by the Aioli brushes. The set is still called Tahini.
Added new brushes Snoy to the EnpitsuPaint and Felt set.
Added new brushes Kommand (prefixed “kom”) to the EnpitsuPaint and Felt set. These are a spinoff from the Kommand Ruffer brushes.
Added CharwellPPaint and WormwellPPaint brushes to EnpitsuPaint and Felt set.
New set named Flatter’s Friends. This set includes flatting brushes, guide brushes, erasers, and processing brushes. It also includes the previously-separate set Silhouetters, and the cel and flat tools from the main set.
Updated Common Erasers set.

Added Cracklings to Tzu Season 3.
Cracklings are various flat brushes that are mainly for solid, dense painting. If you have a pen that supports pen direction, I think these are more controllable than the other heavily-textured Tzu brushes.

2021 Nov 19
I’m ready to to call this Tapioca 2.0. It’s been updated to use various new features in Clip Studio Paint 1.10.x and 1.11.x like color dynamics, Dual brush and the new Smear blend mode, where they improve usability.
As with the other updates, this a free update for anyone who has previously purchased this pack.
These will require the new Clip Studio Paint update (version 1.11.x)
Changes to brush organization:
- The main Tapioca set will have a greater emphasis on the digital-looking brushes. To this end, the Tzu brushes will be separated out into their own files in Seasons which correspond to the different similarly-designed brushes taking advantage of new CSP brush features. This is me partly wanting to retire brushes that don’t look as good to me as the new ones, but on the other hand, they still have good uses. So:
- Season 1 (2019) is GouacheTzu.
- Season 2 (2020) is RiceTzu, ButterTzu, ToastTzu.
- Season 3 (2021) introduces dual brushes, Edamame, ConfectionTzu, NinetiesTzu, and a new HardTzu texture.
- EnpitsuPaint and Felt will be its own set, featuring versions of pastel-y EnpitsuP brushes specially tuned for painting, as well as some felt-themed brushes.
- The gas-themed Pipton brushes like smoke, clouds and fire are now named Gaston. They will still be grouped together into the shape-themed set containing Pipton, Seasalt and Leif.
- Paint Utilities is now a separate set, which includes some useful tools like the Antibanding Spray, Create Vignette Layer gradient tool and Chalk Fill tools.

Tahini (new brush set)
Tahini is a set of basic, very dense brushes, with solid, non-circle shapes. They are mostly an alternative to basic round brushes but with a little extra pen tilt response, optional slight blending.
Like Photoshop painting, these are also designed to be useful if you want to decrease the brush opacity manually. They are optionally slightly blendy. These brushes are designed so you can switch between blending and no-blending depending on your painting step or preferred style. Blending reduces the edge noise when you paint over previous strokes.
Dense, plain, opaque brushes like this are for advanced use and require that you have a good command of colors and contrast for them to be useful. In the same sense, they also make good brushes for studying how to use colors.
Also includes Tahini Pharan Blur for basic blurring.
Felt (New brush set)
This is a small set of PS-style slightly-textured painting brushes.
This includes ph Felt and Radish Kore.
Kommand Ruffer and Kommand Plain Ruffer were also added to the Ruffers.
New RiceTzu shapes
RiceTzu SP Seeds, RiceTzu PL Seeds and RiceTzu SP Sesame have been added. These are simple one-sided textured shapes for better clarity while still having texture.
ToastTzu
ToastTzu brushes are some brushes that use the new brush blend modes in Clip Studio Paint 1.10.5. They are included in the existing Tzu set.
Seasalt Confection
Seasalt Confection is a powdery spray brush. Seasalt Confection Shade has a more neutral particle shape, variable density and particle size response to pen pressure good for shading.
These brushes can be found in the Pipton and Shapes file.

Tapioca Version 1.5 is out!
Most of Tapioca’s existing brushes have been updated to use the new features in Clip Studio Paint 1.10.5. This includes some of them having a slight per-stroke color variation by default, enabling randomized flipping where it helps, exposing new brush controls in the sub-tool palette, and some minor adjustments to make them
-
Some older brushes become redundant as I design new brushes with the same purpose, so I’ll be retiring some brushes from Tapioca, especially to keep the brush count from going out of control and keeping the set easier to understand.
-
Some brushes in development that previously didn’t make the cut became usable thanks to the new brush features. They have been added.
-
Some documentation was updated to reflect the new look of the brushes, with better summaries, and extra tips on Clip Studio Paint’s new features.
-
Pizza brushes (mostly flat brushes with a diagonal tapered shape) were added to the Pharan, Radish and Tzu sets.
-
A new brush set called Twocolor was added. These are brushes that use both your primary and secondary color for added but controlled color variation.
-
(Dec 16) Pipton, Leif and Seasalt, and Whip brushes are now in separate zip files. They have been updated to get better results with the new features and they look noticeably better than previous versions. These brushes will be in a separate file from now on to help make it easier to update. Also updated GouacheTzu.
2020 Nov 26
I’ve included beta versions of some of my new Pizza brushes since I thought they were cool and people are currently getting brushes from also getting CSP. But I’m also in the process of rearranging the files in the main set, and considering what changes I need to make when Clip Studio Paint 1.10.5 comes out, so I can’t update the zip file just yet.
If you want to try them out, make sure you download the Tapioca Pizza file!! They work best with pens that support pen direction!
