Summary

In this concise chapter, we have explored ways to create sound effects. We have used specialized fonts to make sound effects, and have learned how to punch up those fonts with outlines and gradient effects. We used clipping layers to add a pattern to a sound effect. Finally, we learned about mesh transformation to distort and curve our text effects.

In the next chapter, we will explore the wonderful world of masks. Not like masks for costumes, but layer masks! Read on to learn more about this feature of Clip Studio Paint.
