Generate random silhouettes to draw
Shapefy is inspired by an old conceptual software called Alchemy.
This tool had a 'pull-shapes ' function that uses random shapes that can be draw and overlapped on the canvas.
Generate ideas from random shapes is one of my favorites methods to break the 'fear of the blank page'. Give it a try!
Shapes were created using my own artwork. Those are cutouts silhouettes from some character designs I made for myself.

There's no correct way to use this brush. It's an experimental tool.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN
If you feel not spending CPs on this one (just asking because it uses my original art and it took a lot of time to do it), please feel free to create your own.
Just save your random shapes as Brush material tips (preferably, low res) and load them all on the Brush Tip Parameter of the tool.
Also it's important to adjust the Gap parameter and set the Repeat method to Random on the Stroke parameter.

Those are all the Brush Tips used - they're low res on purpose so you don't have with performance. It's better to set the layer to monochrome for a 100% opaque look.
Here's an example.
I don't think you should (or will be able) to follow the random shape precisely. But it's indeed a practical gateway to some imagery that may be floating on your subconscious mind.
If you create something with this brush, please tag me on Bluesky so I can repost it.
That's it!
Have fun.
