Don't re-upload my art unless you're the original commissioner.
For everything else: Ask me first.
For the record, I'm not ok with tracing/editing IF it's from commissions.
Referencing is more of a grey area. That's why I'd rather get asked first about it.Q: What inspires you?

"VHS/Retro" effects tutorial

for Clip Studio Paint

Redrawn scene from the anime Trigun (1998)

(Reez's poorly documented 2025 version)

DISCLAIMER
I'm not an expert by any means, this is just the things I've learned after trying to get the "Retro Look" right on my art, which started around 2021, and I've still got A LOT to learn.I am in no way affiliated to any of the links posted here, nor is this a paid advertisement, this is just a collection of resources that I personally found useful for my art.

I will update this in the future as I learn new things!

STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS:

Redrawn scene from the CGI movie Resident Evil: Vendetta (2017)

CSP has an option to add a "blur" like effect only to the lineart itself, on "Effects > Border Effect > Watercolor edge", you can edit the settings afterwards, I usually keep everything the same except for the "Opacity" which I tend to keep within a 10-15 range

I save the file as a PNG and then start editing THAT PNG (to keep the original file in case something needs an edit, and just because you never know when it might become useful to have the unedited version of a drawing)
Add on top a Rainbow Noise texture with the Overlay Mode, any opacity
I will throw some Chromatic Aberration at the picture, and adjust it accordingly (I don't think I use too much tbh, but experiment with it)
"Mix" everything with a bit of Gaussian Blur (I play with TONS of color filters afterwards usually, tho I tend to stick to Red and Yellow tones)
Duplicate Layer + Add (Glow) Mode and mess around with motion blur + add a saturated copy of the drawing with Color Burn (or something that makes it shiny, basically) and adjust accordingly, and
A lot of color correction, mainly Tone curve, Color balance and Level correction, From then mix of Blur + Sharpen until it looks acceptable to me.

I use A LOT of auto-actions in-between, and I never follow the same process twice (because I always forget what I did before) this is just a general idea of what I do

IMPORTANT TO READ: What are/How to use Auto Actions

(Personal) recommendations:

Side-by-side comparison between the original scene in the anime Trigun (1998) and the redraw.

USE REFERENCES! If you're interested in going in depth with it, I'd say to go and watch as many tv shows from the 80-90s (or whatever time that catches your eyes, it also doesn't has to be animated! finding inspiration from stuff like movies and music is also recommended)
While technically not wrong, a lot of inspiration for "Retro-Like Art" usually comes from Sailor Moon, However there's way more shows to see and take inspiration from!(Some animes that I've personally taken inspiration from before include include Trigun, Gunnm/Battle Angel Alita, Cowboy bebop and Neon Genesis Evangelion)I keep several screenshots on my computer to use as reference: to get a general idea of what I want the colors to look like, to think of how I want to frame a certain scene, how to handle finer details like eyes or the way expressions go and everything along those lines.I also do "Master Studies" of certain scenes that I like as practice, even if I don't tend to make 1:1 copies as you can see in the example above, it is important to practice but also you can make it fun for yourself! don't make yourself miserable just for the art, it takes time, and it might be REALLY frustating, but the effort will be worth it in the future.Using References isn't cheating, don't be afraid to use the tools that you've got at your disposition, you need to go out and experience the world in older to learn from it!
(speaking of which, a lot of older anime can be found on youtube as well, so be sure to give them a check!)

ABOUT NTSC-RS

Recently, I've come across this tool that has been very interesting to experiment with.
NTSC-RS is described on the website as "a free, open-source video effect which accurately emulates analog TV and VHS artifacts", It also works with images from what I've tested before, I've experimented with it for a bit now and I can say I've been pretty pleased with the results, it manages to automatize almost fully this entire process, which unfortunately it also takes a bit of the fun out of it for me, so I haven't used it much just yet, but I think it has potential for many things, and it might be useful for someone, so I am sharing it here.

I hope this guide can be helpful for you, I'd recommend to give it a check every so often because I'll probably update it with more info and resources in the future.If you've got any questions, feel free to DM me in any account, or use the contact form in this carrd to get in touch! I love sharing what I've learned with other people, so don't be afraid to ask me anything, I also have my main brushes linked in the FAQ of this site.If you found this useful, I've also got a carrd with more general art resources Over Here!
(It is pretty outdated at the moment, but I'll try to work on it again sometime in the future)
