wanna draw like this?
STUCCO
This is great for under-paintings or blocking out general shapes.
It's how I get a paint-like texture.
example of
blocking ->
GLOAMING
THIS BRUSH IS MY GOLDEN CHILD. I mostly use it for rendering over base colors (but it can be for anything). It has a unique texture & blends nicely.
example of
rendering ->
TINDERBOX
I use this brush for tiny details, especially in really dark areas like the eyes, nostrils, etc. It's good for making defined details.
example ->
THYLACINE
This is a super fun brush that I use just to add some more texture throughout the piece. Basically, I use it to create the illusion of detail.
example ->
2B COMPRESSED
I sometimes use this for gradients. It's good if you want more texture.
example ->
EXTRA NOTES
Evidently, I love brushes with a lot of texture, but adding too much makes the drawing too busy.
To fix this, I usually take the art piece and amp up the noise. It makes things look more cohesive imo
I'M NOT A PROFESSIONAL. Brushes are helpful but don't make or break your work. Do whatever works for you.
Alright, bye guys
