A brush for sketching, inking, and painting
Updated for color changing (forgot to edit texture and uploaded wrong material).
This is my oval brush that I made that I used for pretty much everything. It has a bit of a dry alcohol marker feel to it at lower densities. This feels great if your tablet pen has a felt tip or if your screen is matte/paperlike.
With stablization it can feel sluggish and draggy, so I prefer it without. If you need it, I would recommend keeping it as low as possible.
I'm someone who draws naturally with light pressure, so you may have to make adjustments if you draw heavy-handed You may also need to adjust if you draw at smaller resolution/DPI
For a dry look with fast strokes, adjust Velocity under Thickness and/or Brush Density. This will "dry out" the lines between end points of a stroke (example below using only Thickness Velocity, Brush Density Velocity off.).
For a consistent dry look unaffected by speed, remove Velocity overall and just adjust Brush Density.
Makes for a good eraser too (especially if you like the realism of still seeing erased lines), but would have to play around with Thickness adjustments for it to feel more precise.
Brush tip, textures, all example art, and sample images are all sourced by me.
