#brush settings

[dreemurr-skelememer]

bestie wake up. i found a new shading brush that i really actually like.

the shading was done on a layer on top of the flats and blended out by using the switch to transparency function (my best friend), have fun!

I know you've already answered questions about your brushes, I found some asks from 3 years ago, but I'm curious if you've changed things up somewhat or if you use the same brushes and settings from 3 years ago

I am not 100% sure! I could swear I haven't, but just in case I'll share them again!

Main drawing brush

My first brush is this! I use it to add color and to do lineart. The setting you see in 'Multiply' indicates it'll get darker the longer my stroke is or the more I press. Think of it as a pencil. I sometimes will change it to 'Normal' in case I don't want it to change

Blending brush

The second brush is for blending! It does not pain but it drags the colors in the active layer with transparency relative to the pressure (if you press hard, it'll drag it 100%, if you press less, it'll drag the color more diluted, also will blend with the other colors)

Chalk/crayon brush

There's an occasional third brush which is just a simple chalk stroke I use for details here and there.

That'd be about it! I'm always willing to share my resources, so be free to ask for anything anytime!

im sure u get asked this 100 billion times but what brushes do u use... especially the ones for ur linework

YES OFCC -- i usually alternate between the remi pencil and the hard charcoal brush for lineart, hard charcoal and 万年筆風ブラシ・スタブ for coloring, and 万年筆風ブラシ・スタブ for solid backgrounds. all of these can be found on clip studio for free :3

I work in PaintTool Sai 2, as a heads up! There’s some custom textures here that I must have gotten a while ago, I think, so I unfortunately don’t remember what comes with the base sai 2, and what I’ve received separate. (I’ve been using these for a WHILE, now) - 8 times out of 10, I’ll use that first rough pencil-looking brush for pretty much everything. Even to digitally render most of my illustrations for added texture combined with the default airbrush tool to soften parts up. - The middle two get much less use, but are helpful when combined together! I fiddle with the settings of these two the most depending on what I’m using them for. - The basic brush is just that! I’ll sometimes switch out the form, but it’s essentially just the default brush tool, tweaked to my liking. I pair it with the smudge tool very often.

For your acrylic texture, is it a default texture in Paint Tool Sai? When I looked at my brush textures, I only have 3, none of them being the acrylic one.

I got you! Here's a link for the free acrylic texture. Add it to your PainToolSAI brushtex/papertex folder and you should be ready to go! These are my brush settings too if you're curious:

Just let me know if you have any other questions. Happy drawing! 😊

Hi! I love your art a lot!

I saw a doodle page you did, and I’m curious how you got your brush to be darker with more pressure applied? (or at least that’s how it looked to me—)

aaa thanks so much!

first of all, i use Paint Tool SAI, so lemme grab a few screenshots of my brush settings. i made these for myself and @invadergrabass to use in order to blend our styles for collabs; theyre based on our combined preferences so they will more than likely require customisation if youre interested in using them. regardless, they will help me explain, since not everything is easy to put into words for me lol

to make my brush respond to pressure the way it does, i first start with a default brush tool as opposed to a pencil. i set the minimum density to a non-zero percentage (usually between 10 and 40) depending on what i want to use it for, and lower the pressure sensitivity to 60. (this may differ for you, since i know i have a heavy hand and ive set my tablet sensitivity to a custom value. but the minimum size is key here.)

heres a demonstration:

(the brush kinda thickens up when a texture is added, which is part of why i reduce the pressure sensitivity)

i find the brush tool feels a lot like a gel pen when being used for linework. this tool is called Butter Brush because its extremely smooth to work with for my partner and i.

heres a breakdown of each brush and how i tend to use it:

Butter Basic is an all purpose tool, i use it equally often for sketching lining writing and shading. it has a minimum size of around 20%

Butter Sharp is for writing and more bold linework. it has a low minimum size for detail work. i rarely use this tool for sketching but i do sometimes use it in shading, and i prefer it if i have to do a lot of writing on an image. its pressure sensitivity is at 100 so i see less of the texture when using it. (you can see the difference in the two drawn arrows above, where the left is at 100 and the right is at 60.)

Butter Soft is my favourite sketch tool, and predictably the one with the highest minimum size. it is also extremely soft, and cant easily be used for writing. i use it extensively for shading, more often than the tools ive made specifically for shading lmao. i sometimes use it for lining also, since it is the most comfortable for me personally to use.

i hope this helps you or anyone else looking for help with their art!

(note: in an earlier version of this reply i accidentally said "minimum density" instead of "pressure sensitivity" in Butter Sharp's description)

Hey! So I'm so curious as to what program you use for your digital art! I just love the texture that the brushes have, I'm sorry if you've gotten this question hundreds of times 😬

Hello! I use Paint tool SAI as my main program and Photoshop as my secondary/editing program (sometimes I use clip studio as well)

but MAINLY I use SAI :D

This is my lineart brush (an edited crayon brush, I love it SM, textured brushed are the BEST aaaaa)

but I shade with a regular airbrush x'DDD

if you're referring to my "watercolour" look then it's a mix between the lineart brush above (SAI) and a watercolour brush from PS, check the linked post for more info

Lastly, I suggest checking out my speed paints if you want to see how I draw with these brushes :D

#asks #morbidmage #brush settings #brushes #faq #han talks #i forgor to answer this daflkjgdafkj #textured brushes are super fun i love drawing with them #when i draw with a smooth brush it feels so bland and weird #i'm too used to textured brushes now LOL #i'm trying to migrate to SAI 2 but aaahhh it's so tougghhh the brush doesn't feel the same e_e #will keep trying tho...

[octo-blobs]

yo what procreate brush do you use for lineart it looks really cool :o

hi there -- i use a variety of brushes depending on the mood, so i'll make a nice lil compilation of my brushes to cover whichever one you're curious about!! thanks for ur interest 🥰

first off, the very recent BIC pen mimic i got from here:

and it looks like this:

it benefits from a lighter colour (can be used with grey/unsaturated colours), it's worth trying out a few for fun. its grain blend mode (brush -> brush studio -> grain) is set to multiply, so i think that's where it gets its light-to-dark gradient from.

then, there's this one:

which is an edited version of the default Tamar brush. i added jitter settings, which are the reason for its wiggles, and pen sensitivity. i love to use this one to give more simple drawings some extra flare.

and its sibling:

this one is basically the same, but with NO jitter and added stabilisation. :-)

the last one on this list:

i call her 'derwent highpressure 2 2 2', aka this is the culmination of me repeatedly editing & refining the default Derwent brush. the pressure sensitivity is super high because i wanted to get a range of pen thickness without affecting my sore hand too much. it's got a small amount of texture & jitter to it, and i'll be honest, i don't remember what the original one looks like.

to absolutely Anyone: i really encourage playing around with procreate brush settings because, although they're a bit difficult to comprehend at first, they're pretty open in terms of how you can mould them. plus, you can employ personally made textures & shapes (or free ones) to add subtle effects. it's fun! i have a whole dock of speech bubbles, decals, a watermark brush, body hair & feathers, etc. :-)

Hey! I love your art so much and was wondering what brushes and/or art programs you use, I'm an artist myself and am just genuinely curious. Sorry if this is a strange ask or anything... I don't use or get on Tumblr too often. Thanks for reading this ask and have a good day/night. (This is my first ask to anyone I think)

hey!!! i use Paint Tool SAI 2!

as of the moment (which means i constantly change it) here is my main doodling/sketching/lineart brush:

my coloring brush: any hard edged basic brush will do, you can also use the bucket tool or the lasso tool, it's simply for coloring

my blushing brush: i blend this brush out by switching to transparency (making it an eraser) and lightly tapping the outside of the paint! (sai users, do this by pressing C on your keyboard. lifesaver been using this shortcut for years) it's versatile, i love using it for gradients

marker brush (usually for ecto): i use this brush only when i want to paint ecto (which i don't do often) but you can use this for other purposes too! it's not my favorite, not even good enough for ecto imo, because my sai 1 version is much better i blend things out the EXACT SAME WAY as the blush brush so please keep that in mind!

a basic brush im testing out for shading purposes: it has a little bit of texture and is made for baaasically cel shading but slightly softer and has the tiniest bit of color mixing

blending brush i barely use and don't actually really like that much: i'm still testing out blending brushes that i like because i can't find one that i like that isn't just blurring colors together or making them muddy when mixed together. if anybody has suggestions, PLEASE let me know! anything like a procreate or csp blending brush that can be recreated would be great

and finally, my rendering brush: it's basically a basic hard edged brush that can pick up the smallest bit of color i use it to clean up and add final touches by using the drop picker often and over the entire artwork

ofc, change anything to your preferences. that's how it goes these are just the settings that work for me :) this also goes for the program LOL i know sai is not for everyone (but it's my baby my bestie my 5ever so like this is about ME)

i have an in-depth post about my CSP brushes and how i work with them (and i don't really ever use csp unless it's a big piece so it's not changing anytime soon) if that's what you have or prefer

my #ref tag is also a treasure trove of my old settings over the years if you'd like to see those too

[cbts004]

your drawings are absolutely lovely. may i ask what brushes u use most commonly? thank you!

Thank you! on CSP I use the default G-pen, and another duplicate of the G-pen that I just call "fat pen"

As for brushes I've downloaded and like to use, there's a few:

Basic photoshop brush, great for sketching + painting

Basic SAI brushes, I like the pencil for sketching, and the watercolor for color/blend/render. The watercolor brush is also pretty similar to the default 'paint and apply' brush, which I use a lot for the same things.

Square pixel brush, similar to the PS pencil tool. I like to increase the gap on this brush so you can really see the square edges of the tool.

and this one isn't a brush, but I really like this skin color palette.
