A textured sketching, painting, & drawing set to experiment with over the summer.
I'm going on vacation - take this set!
Just a big fun gift of fun textured brushes for all you guys hanging around & following me these past 5 years. I'm at almost 2000 followers, thank you so much! I'm grateful people enjoy these resources, thank you all for being so nice!🙇♀️ I'm obligated to say if you'd like more brushes you can find me as saturnsday on Gumroad, but don't worry, only look if you feel like it. :)
Back to this set: it's too hot to go outside. The UV index is extreme, the humidity is over 50%, and the temperature is like 32C/90F. It means it's the perfect time to build a digital brush set for everyone stuck inside like me (and a set you can use on your tablet if you go outside).
This set is a lot of experimenting. It has a little bit of everything, from sketching to painting, and seems to excel at messy impressionism. Please adjust these to whatever is comfortable to you! Duplicate a brush & change it until it is unrecognizable if you'd like, these are something I encourage you to play with. :D
Painting:
(Left to Right)
Pond Shine Paint - Made from a photograph of a pond I took. Color jitter, can be used to paint or texture. Adjust spacing & angles for different looks. Can be used for very sharp surface waves on water.
Tortellini Tortillion - There's no pasta, just a weird particle painter, my apologies. (top orange)
Daydreaming Square - It's a square with a canvas texture that smudges together well for a cute painterly look. (bottom 2 apricot strokes)
Warm Waters Paint - A watercolor paintbrush that can be layered on top of itself gently. Uses a bumpy cold press watercolor paper texture, but doesn't blend.
Ghost Boy Brush - A wild texturing brush with big strokes. Crispy edges, turning off mixing makes it softer. Another brush that is great for impressionism & impressionist looks.
Tidal Tempest Paint - A decent acrylic paint that only slightly blends. Feel free to adjust it to your liking. It has color jitter on for a more chaotic effect!
Windy Indie Brush - This is a basic round that's enjoyable to use. You can either keep it as a no mix for a slightly streakier look (top) or turn on mixing (bottom) for a sweet blendy look. It is all up to you!
Rhinestone Eyes Paint - Increase color jitter for a "gemstone sparkle" look. Adds variance fast.
Dramaphone Paint - Another watery paint, this time with a subtle texture. To have it blend better, turn the opacity up. Feel free to turn off the border if it bugs you.
Drawing:
No Rest for the Wicked Pen - Great for sketching and inky drawings. Fun to hatch with, fun to contour line with!
Tailfeather Pen - A funky pen with a sharp look and great stroke variance. Dips and dives well.
Girl You Want Pen - I love sketching & drawing with this. Can't explain it. Just fun!
Comics Palace Pen - A subtly textured pen that is great for sharp corners. Gives a good thick inky look. I think this one is alright as is but I might modify it in the future.
Small Brush Pen - Reminds me of a disposable brush pen. Feel free to adjust thickness & size curves.
Shatter Pen - The texture is made from glass! A crunchy pen for crunchy things.
Plume Pen - When pulled, it looks like a feather. Good for calligraphy and hatching, very bold.
Roam if we Want to Pencil - A VERY textured pencil. Crunchy, good for sketches and details on rough paintings.
Markers:
All Too Much Marker - A delicious marker with a texture from the skin of an apple!
Moonchild Marker - A subtly textured marker that can gently blend colors together.
Other Sketch:
How Bizarre Pastel - A really bizarre pastel-thing. Can be used as a pencil or as a painter too, I guess.
Spellbound Brush - A brush that layers colors together nicely. Comes out streaky, great for hair, cloth wrinkles, tufts, & feathers. There's a blender below that works great with it.
Texturizing:
Tie-Dye - Not EXACTLY the perfect tie-dye dip pattern, but pretty close. Great for groovy looks!
Asteroid Belt - It's too weird to use as a pen for me, but can make for some very interesting line art.
I Came to Bring the Grain - Hardcore Grain for the hardcore brains. Easily applied. There's a roller grain texture too I forgot to preview that works the same way. Feel free to adjust both.
Bedbugs & Ballyhoo - A dense spray. Great for foam & mist coming off water.
Locomotive Breath Airbrush - Like the smoke from a train. Has a very subtle noise texture, great if you want to add a bit of pores to skin or a bit of fuzz to something.
Private Idaho Potato Masher - The tip looks like a potato. It gives a weird texture you can fill backgrounds or open areas with, really fun to scribble.
Lastly, the two blenders.
1. Tortillion - Also known as a blending stump, the tortillion is a favorite of dry media artists everywhere. This sorta replicates the look digitally.
2. Spellbound Blender - The spellbound brush, but blendy. It can either add or subtract streaks.
Ok everyone, have a good summer, stay safe and have fun if you can! 💙
