    I have ibispaint and i've used the default hard brush for years! I always see other artists praise or use soft/low opacity brushes and it makes me feel like i'll never be on the same level if i don't get with the program and use what most artists are using. I always find myself coming back or liking the default hard brush in the end as it feels right to me and this video reassures me the hard brush is awesome 💗

    I'm so finicky with what brushes I like for my lineart, usually just because I have painful joints so getting that *perf* crisp shape in one go is what I aim for. I've made a few of my own, but they're basically just dupes of the simple basic ones w some texture. My fave textured free brush is "wella's sketch brush" for procreate. If anyone is looking!

    I laugh at this convo so much because I have been a freelance painter/designer for 15yrs and because I emulate traditional media - I haven't used a hard round brush since I was a digital art baby many many years ago. I found I hate perfectly round brushes and makes painting/texture work miserable...much prefer a square/oblong or crescent moon shaped brushes. I also don't taper either.

  • @digitalmagician

    @digitalmagician

    3 ай бұрын

    Personally I’ve never used Clip Studio Paint before. But I looked it up on KZread and it does have the option to set the minimum opacity. You just need to go into brush settings, click on ink, then click on the little icon on the right-hand side of opacity. Then you should see the option to set the minimum value which is essentially the same thing. Here's a link to a clip of the video I watched: kzread.infoUgkxAwcpgv89307AjE-V2tes3Nnbsgaa5YRu?si=G4bEvSyHPiD-U3tI Hopefully that helps :)

    The lead artist for The Secret of Monkey Island when Photoshop came out he only used one, one brush. Soft round/airbrush....brush he would modify it to be a hard brush but our professor who also used the same brush said to us, "If you can use this one tool, you'll be able to understand the others in your arsenal." Something that Sinix said too is to start with NO OPACITY CONTROL, instead think like a sculptor and just do shapes.
