My Brushes
Added 2021-01-02 22:55:49 +0000 UTCLet’s talk about brushes.
I will not be able to share all my brushes because my collection is a mixture of other artists' free brushes and some that I downloaded on the internet.
What you need to have in mind is that the brush itself is not going to make you draw better, it’s a common mistake from the beginner artists. I want to encourage you to try learning the basic skills and draw better with the standard round brush before jumping into a different one.
Of course there are some other painting areas like background images that a brush with texture might help you have a better result. But again, if your base drawing is good, the brush will only be a small boost to your skills.
If you are aiming for the cell-shading painting style similar to mine, a different brush is not necessary. Take a look at the Arcade Caitlyn fanart I did in 2019 and I only used the hard round brush with pressure opacity turned on for lineart and hard round brush to paint it.
If you compare with the Cosmic Nami I did in 2020 that I used the Pencil Brush 2B from Pixelstains as lineart and hard round brush for the painting, the result is very similar. The only difference is the background and the general effect I applied to the image.
That being said, I can share with you 2 types of brushes that I’ve been using for lineart but I could be using the standard hard round one and the result would be almost the same as you can see above. Those 2 brushes I downloaded for free from the Pixelstains website but unfortunately they are not working anymore so I will attach them to this post .
For the other type of brushes with texture and different shapes you need to look for other artists' free brushes, or paid ones, it’s up to you. My advice is to practice with what you have for free and then jump to more difficult brushes if needed.
I hope I helped you a little bit!
Have fun!
