FREE BRUSHES! available in DPS Discord "Freebies" channel - invitation link: discord.com/invite/mbDvsccpbW
Digital brushes can be fun and can shake up your approach to a painting. They can keep you excited and prevent plateauing BUT - brushes aren't magic. Be wary of any brush pack claiming to perfectly simulate some traditional media - true artfulness comes from technique and from your hand - not from an .abr file.
Join me for a tutorial on my specific brush technique and a good discussion on all the things that digital brushes can and can't do for us - all while a cool painting takes shape in the background during a very chill 20 minutes.
0:00 - Intro
0:50 - What Brush Are You Using?
4:12 - What Brushes CAN Do For You
6:20 - What Brushes CAN'T Do For you
8:53 - Detailing to Death
11:11 - Artfulness as the Goal
13:49 - Leaving Room for Your Viewer
15:54 - Using This Idea
