The ONLY Brushes You Need as a Digital Artist 

crying in ibis paint x and krita (Edit: I like both apps, they're good, I just wish ppl added more brushes to them 💔)

Ahhh, a true artist! Subscribed. No one else could do 26 layers without ever naming a single on of them.

It wasn’t the brush that changed the game. It was learning to adjust opacity and flow

NO WAY this should be way popular than it is, these are ALL the brushes I was looking for! Super quick, concise and easy to follow! Thank you for the explanation, I shall definitely be putting these brushes to use !

no way this doesn't have any more views! It's super informative, quick and easy to understand. And man, your art is just gorgeous 👀✨ I really hope more people get to see this!

I use: real G-Pen (sketchy version of hard round brush in clip studio paint) G-Pen (normal hard round brush) Blend Smudge and Painterly blender (as a paint brush. it's basically hard round brush but I don't have to constently muck with settings.)

I use the 6B pencil in procreate with varying sizes and opacity, and the select fill. Sometimes the Airbrush for the background or gradients but that's it and I found it works well for me because I can do anything with these tools.

as someone who isn't a painter whatsoever and just uses the hard full opacity round marker brush on ibis for everything including shading i contemplated clicking on this vid but you just gave me a full new understanding of brushes!! never seen the default brush be used for so much stuff, extremely cool and seriously helpful

OMG I CAN'T THANK YOU MORE!!! SUBSCRIBED INSTANTLY I even set through any ad I see on your vids just to support you I just started getting into digital art and YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER I didn't know how much brushes/settings can effect my work :O

Hard round brush is just the same as Pen Fade in Ibis paint and I been using it for a weeks now! And I love it❤ Airbrush is a good combination to blend the color of your drawings 🎉❤

Neat, the tip with the smudge tool settings alone was worth watching this. Tumbs up for it.

hard squared ones is a must for painting, especially if you trying to work on shadows and stuff like that, it gets the job done quicker for me

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!

this man needs a medal of honor 🗣️ thanks for the help

My favorite brush, it doesnt matter what software you use the round brush will be there for you.

I just like to use the 6B brush in procreate! 🌈⭐️

Cries in procreate

Best explanation ever thank you so much 🙏

My go too brushes are A flat rectangular brush with aaslight taper and opacity settings turned on... I made it with my logo and call it my "signature brush"

Your art style reminds me of likelihood art

Oh my god the smudge tools now much better!!!

So helpful. Thank you !!!

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.

Why does the thumbnail look like @Likelihoodart art style?

im so basic I use the round brush with pressure

i spent a few weeks trying to simulate my favorite pencil. Its pretty much all i use now unless im air brushing. Adobe PS

Acho que brush é uma coisa muito pessoal. Eu mesma gosto muito mais de brush smooth, pouco sólido, para poder criar desde o sketch até a pintura. Ultimamente venho adicionando mais brushes para teste na criação de detalhes, mas ainda assim, tenho esse fixo que falei antes

Great vid!! Btw are u on any freelance platform?

Anyone maybe found all equivalents of these in clip studio paint? Texture and comb would probably solve lots of my issues but I can't find something that would feel right.

Cool video.

at 2:15 how does he select and move and transform specific stokes so seamlessly? I know it's sped up, but is it legit just the lasso select tool and the object move tool?

Sam vibes (not a bad thing)

i dont understand, if you colour one colour over the picture, then clip art different layers on the base colour, wont the other colour go onto the other colours?

Sheesh I thought this was a Likelihoodart video, referencing her style this hard is nuts lol.

how did you get a comb brush on photoshop ?

I try to use the blurre brush bc i have problems with they.

aw no csp conversion?

Is there a paint brush equivalent for procreate?

7:00

I was finding the literal oval brush because I didn’t know what it was called

This looks a lot like Likelihood’s art

Man- I wonder what brushes he uses 🤔 /j

Is this clip studio paint?:))

What app is it?

draw can you me

erhmm ackshually the only brush you need is HARD ROUND. NO PRESSURE NO OPACITY NO DENSITY = NO OVERTHINKING NO PROBLEMS NO STRESS NO GOING AROUND DOWNLOADING A THOUSAND BRUSHES YOU'LL NEVER USE + plus you will be FORCED to learn painting though blocking which is nice to getting good perceiving 3d forms and colors

i love your channel so much man omg

finally someone who teach the brush to use, when to use them, how to use them and GIVING THE ACTUAL BRUSHES. thankyou very very much for this. lots of other just promote to sell their product. you on the other hand is actually teaching it

Does the minimum opacity setting exist in Clip Studio Paint? I don’t think I’ve seen it. I didn’t even think the hard round brush was pressure-sensitive.

R.I.P to those who use the smudge tool on ibis paint💀

It was alot helpful love you sensei thank you so much ❤❤❤❤

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 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.

dayummmm u are good at painting dark skin

Do I hear the soul eater OST in there 👀

Ahhh I find this so so helpful I always don’t know what brushes to use or how to use for my advantage haha!! Great video

thank you for this!

I do air brush, digital, dip pen, and occasionally water color point.

FINALLY! A video that answers this question directly!

I hear Soul Eater music ‘so cool’-Soul Evan’s theme.

Best painting tutorial out here! It's my first time with digital drawing and painting, and I have no idea on how to paint something without actually covering the linings of the drawing and it's driving me insane. How do I do that? I tried every parameter of the brushes setting but I have NO IDEA, I tried lowering hardness but it's not what I want, I tried lowering opacity, but that way each stroke leaves a different "layer", so that if I stroke twice on the same spot the colour adds up and gets darker, and I don't want that. ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE!

No but seriously what brushes do you use? 😂😂😂

I like triangular brush, or any shape that looks a bit more like you stamped a real brush onto paper, so something in-between triangle and oval

You deserve the world! thanx

Hi! Just starting with clip studio, can also help on how to change the settings to get something similar to this?

This looks like likelihood art style

i swear if it's fucking hard round

I recently got adobe photoshop and I am moving away from medibang just because I feel like my progress has been in a plato. I want to start experimenting with textures and colours more fully and my program I was using just did not allow for that in a way I wanted to experiment like photoshop did. Thanks for these brushes!

These are great thank you!

I agree!

thank you for this

The brushes that I use that I tried once and they become permanent or I need to use it like once in a blue moon

Kind of an off question i always try my best but never know what size to use on my canvas in photoshop? it always looks pixelated anny suggestions?

Pensaba que este video me enseñaría a crear estos pinceles. Pero lo usaré de referencia para conseguirlos.

I want to add some of these brushes in procreate.😢

how can you add that texture into the brush 2

I liked this video so much that I instantly subscribed.
