This means you could pinch and drag the line, simplify it, modify individual control points or simply increase or decrease the line width! You can even use the “tail” tool and add one or multiple tails to the balloon.įinally, you can use the “Correct line” tool, and all of its sub tools to further modify an already-drawn balloon. Keep in mind that you can use the balloon tool multiple times if you want to create a more complex speech bubble shape.

Alternatively, use the “balloon pen” tool to still hand-draw the speech bubble, except with the added benefits of using the balloon tool! If you already have a text layer present (whether it’s regular text, or a box), simply select that layer, then select one of the “balloon” sub tools and click and drag to create a speech bubble and link it to that text. Now, you could draw speech bubbles by hand on a separate layer, or you could use Clip Studio Paint’s “Balloon” tool. And in such a case, you might want to have text be present in a speech bubble. If you are using the Text Tool in Clip Studio Paint, there’s a good chance you want to use it to create a comic, manga or webtoon.


While regular text gets squashed and transformed, the text box ensures the text stays the same, except that more line breaks are introduced.
