Auto-shaded trees brushes ver. 3

Want to paint professionally looking crisp trees but not sure which colors to use?

This brush will solve it for you!

A brush for quick painting trees that makes the most of possible brush settings to create nicely colored lights and shadows of a tree crown or bushes without having to change colors - notice that the drawing color doesn't change during drawing each tree!


Super easy to use!

        More pen pressure = darker color and thicker foliage
        Less pen pressure = lighter color and less leaves

The settings of hue, saturation and luminosity have been carefully adjusted to work with any color and saturation to make the crown look pleasantly colorful!

The brush draws and blends each leaf or cluster precisely and doesn't leave any half-transparent parts, making it perfect for animators and comic creators!



1A - brush for blue, green and yellow colors:





1B - brush for purple, red and orange colors:

A modification of the upper brush which changes the hue of the lighter color towards the opposite direction to keep the nice colors of highlights even with warm colors! 





2 - brush for drawing forest on hills in middle ground and background:

Pen pressure changes mostly the size of the brush tip, colors are set to change randomly per stroke, but still within pleasantly looking variations.





29/07 NEW BRUSHES ADDED!

3A, 3B - brushes drawing more horizontal leaf clusters 

For types of trees with lighter crowns (again, one version for green, blue and yellow colors, one for red, purple and orange colors):




07/08 NEW BRUSH ADDED!

4 - Brush for drawing fir trees

A brush that imitates branches of a fir tree; again special color settings allow for automatic shading of the inner parts of the branches and lights the tips.

For spruce trees it's recommended to use with a symmetrical ruler for the basic shape, then turn it off for final touches to break the symmetry.



These brushes were presented in the Painting Natural Sceneries tutorial:

You can also use the brushes without the color changing function - simply uncheck Change brush tip color in Tool property palette!

I recommend setting a shortcut to turn it off and on :)




Happy trees growing!
