What Are Some Brushes You Like To Use?

What are some brushes you like to use?

these are all clip studio brushes i think all of them are free also !!!! realised i have so many brushes downloaded (gatherer instinct <3) but never use most of them except these

lineart:

wrinkles pen

ink-oily pen (the first one) (i thiiiiink this is my other lineart pen but im not sure)

used to use the default clip studio g pen almost always but now not so much

colouring etc:

hoarse oil (painty)

scratchy colouring (brush for filling large areas with texture altho i also just do this by hand a lot)

default clip studio glitter pen

7clubs glitch pen

glitch brush set (genuinely so so good)

retro halftone set (comic book dot texture with little misprint bits i love this one as well)

Reminder that the drawing program Krita is completely free and tons more user-friendly for artists than Photoshop while at the same time very similar to it in its layout.

A long ass beginner level tutorial for all of you comic folks who want to start using sketchup for your backgrounds but don’t know how to get started.

No one asked but here’s a brief tutorial on digital underpainting and how it can add some extra flavor to your art!

(I got asked this a couple times so just to clarify: I used “overlay” in the second slide… but the rest of these examples are JUST painted on, no effects! Try playing with the opacity on your pencil/water/brush tool to allow the base color to show through!)

I’ve been dying to ask for a while: How do you choose colors for shading?? Every piece you post leaves me absolutely awestruck! Do you experiment with layer filters (multiply, darken, etc.) or do you eyeball your palette?

There are a lot of very comprehensive videos and tutorials online about almost any art thing that'll be more helpful than me otl. So i'd suggest looking those up for like actual direction and learning proper color theory so you know how to problem solve for whatever you're drawing. I don't really render complicated because I don't like most super rendered styles. Shading color depend a lot on bg/environment too which I also don't draw a lot of lol. So I just wanna put out there that there's a LOT to say on this subject.

Anyway my smooth brain reply is "make a layer, set to multiply, use a purple, lower opacity". It's what I usually do if I'm just slapping shading on a drawing of a character floating in solid color bg purgatory.

On more elaborate drawings I'll consider which colors are reflecting off eachother and how I'm using warm vs cool and the saturation of the local colors and what needs to stand out. But for simple stuff "a purple on multiply" will cover most bases without making the drawing look gross and dull. A step above that is messing with the kind of purple youre using, like temperature and saturation. And then if I wanna try out random weird shit I'll make a gradient map correction layer, pick a palette, and mess with the layer settings to see what funky combos come up.
