A material catalog containing some assets that can be used for brush settings. Contains 3 auto-actions and 6 brush “blueprints.” Just bring your own brush tip images!
This material is for people who want to get started making brushes, but need a little guidance. There are brushes, yes, but I also offer a (free, $0) manual I created myself that is made in a way you can translate easily with plenty of graphics. It also explains a lot of the settings at play, and some instructions on how to use the auto-actions properly. These auto-actions can also help people who have made brushes before, as it speeds up workflow.
The “blueprint” brushes are easily customizable if you know what the settings mean.
There is a phrase to access my manual offered on my ko-fi (URL is on my profile.) It’s on the template file; this was the only way I could figure out giving out the manual’s phrase without showing it in the preview. Drag the template out on a 1200 x 900 px canvas. There, you can see the text on its own layer and copy it. Though the manual is, admittedly, 17 pages long, that’s because it’s thorough in explanations. The main things you would be worried about are in the sections on the brush settings (roughly 1050 words long, equivalent to a little over 2 pages.) Everything else is explaining what each setting does, if you’re confused or curious. A few pages (2) are taken up to transcribe the auto-actions for people who don’t speak english. A page is dedicated to explaining dual brushes.
Info on Manual:
- There are places in the auto-actions where you need to select specific things, or do certain things.
- There are tips that I have for brush making for newbies.
- There are tips that I have for settings and practices that work best with the autoactions
- There is a small section on dual brushes (you can combine multiple brush shape presets offered in the manual to fit your needs)
- There is a transcription of the autoactions, though you can now translate through the CSP asset store automatically.
- There are graphics/figures to follow along with
