New ink pen brushes in the FA store

Thin ink pooling pen

Cotton swab ink pooling pen

My tests with them: the think ink pooling pen has its own custom texture with it as well, "Bokoboko2"

Made a quick little firefly bitmap brush. The settings are only suggestions, have fun with it!

F2U unless you are selling something with it without credit. At that point, you could just make your own little guy.

what have I done

#toh spoilers #bunter toh #marky wu #toh #fun fact: I got the marky face by turning it into a brush #cause firealpaca interprets white as transparent in brush bitmap thingies #and now I have a marky brush

Hello! I adore your animations, and I was curious. How do you get such a nice texture on them with digital animation? They have the feel of paper animation but the smoothness of digital, I'm very curious how you do it!

hi! thank you so much for saying so, that's something i strive for 🥰 mostly i lean on using textured brushes, textured overlays, hand-drawing frames where i can, and of course having a styleframe and/or image references on hand to match to. for bits that are more procedural or computer animated i lower the framerate (usually to 8 or 12, whatever i'm drawing at) and toss some effects (turbulent displace, scatter, roughen edges in aftereffects) or filters (paper texture, grain) on top and that helps too!

#brushes are like 90% of it tho imo #procreate‚ tvpaint‚ photoshop‚ and harmony all allow for bitmap animation which really brings that hand-drawn feel #harmony is cool bc there are decent textures in vector + u can make ur own‚ so it can feel Really clean and precise And more tactile #<- number one toon boom harmony fan #asks and replies #not art #asktheglitch #having a lowkey motion graphics comp background has made all the stuff in post go smoother #but there's so much more i wanna learn!!!

At this point I feel like 10% of my digital art time is devoted to actually drawing and the other 90 is spent making brushes and textures

#“you know people make those right” THEY DONT USE MY PROGRAM THEY DONT USE MY PROGRAM THEY DONT USE MY PROGRAM #AND THEY ARENT FUCKING COMPATABLE #its literally easier for you to just post a transparent png of the bitmap/texture that i can upload into my brushes than it is for me #to DOWNLOAD brushes #i dont fucking USE sai #and i dont use photoshop! i use a program that i had to use google translate on the website to figure out where to download it #cus it was in japanese #but it came with my tablet and guess what!!! its actually fucking pretty good!!!!!! #art #digital art #art meme #insane ramblings #bitmap

Sketch: Shiver from Splatoon 3

Here’s a sketch of Shiver from Deep Cut in Splatoon 3. This was supposed to be a quick sketch but the face kept fighting with me. So it ended up being about 4 hours. I like how they came out. You can commission me here https://bit.ly/askforart

Wait, how do you make brushes in medibang? I've used it for quite a while and couldn't really figure it out as it seemed to limit me to only making replicas of existing preset brushes.

It's true that MediBang is not nearly as customizable with their brushes as, say, CSP, but you can do a lot by messing with the settings in the Add Brush or Edit Brush menu!

For example, this is a brush I created using a simple random shape, without adjusting the setting at all:

But if I set it to Watercolor Bitmap and adjust the Rotate Random setting, I can get a neat little scatter pattern going that's very edgy.

For example, I made this stitch pattern brush by messing with the brush spacing on a single line.

I also have a brush called CONFETTI which is just some swirls and lines with the Randomness turned up and the Color Jitter and Hue Jitter maxed out.

which, when used with a color setting, looks like this:

You can even do rain effects!

And this brush called Fuzzy, that I use for very fuzzy sweaters, started out as a single multi-pointed star.

And if you know how to do seamless patterns, you can also slap down patterns!

Anyway, MediBang is actually pretty great! It just takes a lot of trial and error to see what works.

hii, sorry to bother but i just got my first drawing pad and i wanna start drawing stuff, i wanted to ask what program and brushes you use, if that's not a problem :3

No biggie! I use Medibang Paint on my ipad, but they have a PC version too!!

As for brushes, I use the circled ones typically. I have many many maaaaany instances of Medibang's textured pencil brushes with various settings changed based on my mood.

And for quality of life/effects I recommend these brushes:

And once you're comfy playing with various brushes and their settings, I recommend making your own if you like textured brushes over the simple hard round pencil. To make your own, find the bitmap brush under the standard tab :)

Medibang has a great site with various tutorials, also! Maybe you'll find something useful there.

Here's also the things I usually nudge around when making a brush that feels good. But be sure to try all settings to see what they do and if they can be useful to you!

Hey! Sorry if this is annoying but what brushes do you use? (especially for the comics) Your line work is amazing!

Sorry, I keep forgetting to answer the question!!! The brush I use for my comics is made by my friend. So unfortunately I can't be shared with public. I can describe it though - it's actually square-shaped and has a slight texture when pen pressure is low. I always use this brush for my line work.

But when I draw drider comic, I set the file to bitmap mode, so all texture become black or white pix.

Hope this can help you!

Hey! I came from youtube (the Hey Ya duck dance vid) and first of all, I LOVE your style, it's so adorable and smooth! I'm not super aware of rainworld lore, but your stuff makes me want to get into it! If you don't mind me asking, what program do you use to draw/animate?

Heya from the other side! I'd say if you want to avoid RW spoilers make sure to blacklist the rw spoilers/dp spoilers tags from me, but that's like 90% of my stuff on here lol

I use Toonboom Advanced (unfortunately) (it's way too expensive) (and swatches have their uses but I really miss my color wheel)

Like look at what I have to deal with.

I want to try TVPaint instead (they have permanent licenses!!! I hate subscriptions), but I can't afford to invest in that right now. I've tried Photoshop, Krita and CSP too. Photoshop is okay but definitely far more finicky - I'll have to give it a shot again sometime. Krita, same hat, but I have less experience with it than Photoshop. CSP animation is way different from everything else I've tried and I couldn't get into it. I also used to use Flash, but mostly for interactive comics rather than animation. (They're all dead now outside of .swf files, RIP Flash.) I prefer bitmaps/pixels over vectors but man, vectors are useful sometimes...

For non-animations I use Paint Tool Sai 2. It's got its limitations, but it feels the most natural to me. When I need fancier text or actual art brushes for background stuff, I switch to CSP, or Photoshop for filters/special effects. (I don't think I've used those two for anything I've posted so far except for Pebbles' motion-blurred "YOU ROTTEN SISTER YOUR BUTT IS CRUSHING ME" though)

Anyways, thanks so much! I should get back to animating now that you mention it... progress has been slow on the SRS and Spearmaster vid. I've been distracted by a lot of stuff lately.

is there a colour jitter brush in fire alpaca or something similar?

Hello! you can actually make your own color jitter brush in Firealpaca.

I don't know exactly what you would use it for (maybe just put that in your ask next time, it's easier for repliers usually) but at least 2 types of custom bitmap brush have this: the bitmap and scatter rbsushes that you can create yourself.

You can find the colour jitter at the bottom of the brush edit window:

Experiment with this color hitter option (and possibly hue jitter as well) to find the brush look you want.

Sorry for the late reply nd hope this helps!

Lately Ive been experimenting with different techniques for lineart, while I love the bitmap based brushes, the vector ones still remains near and dear to me heart.

A fellow Firealpaca user! I saw your post about the brush you use and was wondering if I could get the bitmap file for it if you have it? it looks like it's fun to use, and might be able to rival the default marker brush that I use for literally everything lol.

you'll have to forgive me, ive never even attempted to do anything like this before so it might be fucky

if you mean the one i use for designs i don't have the bitmap but i do have the settings

2. if you mean the one i use for bigger pieces such as my p03 with different parents- heres the bitmap https://sta.sh/0q7zc52kvq6 (only place i could upload it)

and heres the settings

[hurtanminttu]

Hi!! I LOVE ur art!! I was just wondering what brush set you use, specifically the comic textures? Every time I download one it looks bad, and yours look so so good

I mainly still use one specific pastel brush from old photoshop https://www.tumblr.com/hurtanminttu/129629237233/do-you-use-photoshop-if-u-do-i-would-love-if-u?source=share Overall I use Kyle Webster's brushes that are now basic on newer PS's, (the screentone one can be haxed by turning grayscale images to bitmap [black and white] that turns all grays to screentones, see below) but you can find some of them from the web still:
