Master These 4 Art Brushes and you will Master Them All

Your videos are just amazing! They made me want to draw more and more :)

solid pen and pencil brushes are for me, I never got good with using the air brush though, it always made it look terrible

what drawing apps do you use?

awesome vid!!! thank you so much!!!!

Laser eyes!!!

Sir, can I upload your video in Hindi on my channel? In return, I will give you 60% of the earning of the video.





from where can I download these? I've downloaded from random websites and those are sh**.
Tell me please

As much as I use GIMP, I disable all of its built-in "brush dynamics" presets (by removing the config entry for the relevant folder), for two reasons: 1 - I'm not really at a point where all those presets even matter, 2 - because the presets are read-only, GIMP won't let you tweak their settings on the fly AT ALL, which all but forces you to use manual dynamics anyway.

To go into a bit of detail about how GIMP handles attributes:
- Basic brush attributes (stamp, size, shape, edge hardness, opacity) can be adjusted on the fly for every painting tool as a standard part of that tool's options. (By "stamp" I mean the underlying intrinsic shape of the brush itself: circle, square, pattern, etc.)
- "Dynamics" attach further customization to the above attributes, in particular the ability to map them to parameters from the input device -- for example, linking width or opacity to the input pressure of a drawing tablet (complete with adjustable response curves too, so for example I can make a "high contrast" curve that yields full opacity from less-than-full pen pressure and/or avoids false-positives from super light pen pressure)
- Most GIMP resources have built-in presets (brush shapes, color palettes, patterns/gradients, etc), and (as a rule) these presets are read-only so if you want to tweak one you must create a duplicate of it first. This is really only a problem with "dynamics", as it's something you might want to make on-the-fly adjustments to in certain occasions (and not all the time).

Recommend a built-in procreate brush for each of the four types?

Do these brush tips apply to Adobe Illustrator, especially if you want to end up with vector art?

thankss helped me a lot

dammit why did I get this recommended AFTER learning this stuff??

Je ne parle pas anglais
Mais merci, tu m'a aidé ❤

Hi there, I use Infinite painter (as a beginner) and I can't find the corresponding pen for the hard round pen and it's desired effects. The soft pen comes closes, but when I make it bigger, you see sort of circular stamps connected to eachother to form a line, instead of a smooth line. Can anyone help me out?

What are your settings for the technichal brad pen please ?

Very informative. Thank you!

broski r u ok?

So what Pencil brush do you use in Procreate? Thanks!

Is that what they’re called on procreate? “Hard round brush?” I notice a lot of people in comments wanting example names of the 4 types. Pencil is easy to find, and airbrush, but a suggestion for an inking brush and a hard round would be great.

Your bird sounds made my cats go crazy

I feel like finding a good inking brush is hardest, at least for me. The pressure sensitivity and the taper just tend to always feel slightly off to me. In Procreate I have only found a few that really feel good. Still haven’t found one with the pressure sensitivity I like on PS despite using if for much longer. In fact, Krita default brushes feel better to me than PS and I can’t quite pinpoint why.

very useful explanation! Thank you

Still don't get it, most people say to use hard brush for drawing, is it just for sketching? what brush should i get for line art then?

Hey is there a way to get those in illustrator cause i don t manage to make them by myself ?

Brad, can you please send painting videos

Where homie at? :(

Holy moly thank you. This was what I was looking for today. It's so hard for me to figure out what different brushes achieve and this at least gives me a great foundation.

Bro where are you?

Bro I need tips for intermediate level artist for drawing

The texture of a pencil is important - the grain discourages worrying about fine details before the proper time. if you try to pay attention to a defect that is too small, and zoom way in to fix it, the grains of the pencil remind you that fixing defects this small is futile, you shouldn't even be worried about it during sketching.

I don't think that comes naturally for beginners. Many times I have felt "I'm trying to be good at art, and good is the opposite of rough, so I have to clean this up", but cleaning things up is a gigantic waste of time when you're trying to learn the magic of how to design things and bring ideas to life. A lack of imperfections does not bring an idea to life. It doesn't help at all. The proof is in all the artworks with imperfections that look right anyway. The skill that takes years to develop, and the only one we want to be practicing, is making things look the way we want them to. How to clean up linework, how to erase a stray line or patch up a hole that the fill tool leaks through, is something we basically all know from the very beginning, and need no practice in.

Your life is plenty long to make all of the sketches you need to become a great artist. But your life will never be long enough to clean up that many sketches.

bro draws cartoon stickmen and think he's mastered anything...LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Very interesting! It helps sorting out all that jungle of brushes.

Coming from physical media, brushes are what kept me out for so long. I could never find a brush that felt right. Recently I've reached a point where I am ready to make the leap and learning how to MAKE the brush I wanted is what has changed everything. Even in phjysical media, everybody has different pen/pencil preferences and the more you do, the more that preference is solidified. I'm blown away by how close to physical pens I can get with a simple ipad.

Hey, so I know you haven’t been posting recently as it shows that you’re latest post was 10 months ago, but I have been very intrigued and trying for these draw for these past couple of weeks and I was wondering if you could do a lesson on how to draw hair and ears because those the two things I can always mess up. thank you!!!!

i hate the big round brush, no matter how small i make it i get that giant round end

You are a great teacher and this was a very well done, and helpful video. Thank you!

I'm first trying to master a simple fine liner brush that doesn't react to pressure and speed in order to first learn precision so that my lines are only minimally shaky and go where I need them for simple basic shapes.
I'm currently having a lot of trouble getting back into it after not practising for a long time and being stuck on simple perspective drawings of block-shaped buildings for weeks, with the ink precision brush in Krita with stabilization set to zero.

At the beginning, when I started learning, I didn't come up with this idea and my Wacom 3 tablet at the time was too intensive for me with the pressure changes. I only pressed a little more and the line became very wide, and that led me to try to make the pressure more even and adjust it even more finely.
The result was that my drawing hand quickly hurt after a few minutes and became cramped.
So it wasn't any fun at all.
At least I could have practised drawing first, and I don't need to be so precise with the printing for brushes for acrylic paints, for example,
but I didn't just want to paint rough acrylic pictures.
Years later, I got a new tablet from which I could be sure that these problems would not occur, but unfortunately I hardly had any time or energy to learn to draw and am now catching up on the whole thing.

DO YOU REALLY HAVE A PARROT????❤

What brush is that?
