A bunch of brushes that work best for monochrome art or large pixel art.
Guess who's been working a lot with pixel art and monochromatic illustration stuff lately? Yep. These are a bunch of brushes that are good for large binary/aliased/pixel illustrations & monochrome comics.
If you want a softer look, you can modify density, anti-aliasing, and in the default tips, hardness. See what works best for you. If you want to change all the brushes to have the same setting, like stabilization, right click on the setting & click "copy to all brushes within this group". Don't like the setting you changed? Right click the tool & click "Reset Tool to Default". :D
By the way: MC = MonoChrome.
1. That's Good - A basic and easy pixel pen. Modified from the "The Girl You Want Pen" from the summer set. I've been using this to draw stuff for a project, so it's nice and simplified for easy modification.
2. Speed String - Whee! Draw fast, get a skinny line. I kind of love this pen.
3. Gap Pen - You can see with each size, the overlap gap changes. You can adjust the gap sizes to give it more or less space.
4. Square Flatly - Basic Square calligraphy, flat & angular. Set to 77 thickness, so technically a rectangle, but feel free to set it to 100 instead.
5. Rounded rectangle - A fat calligraphy pen with thin ends. The tip has round corners for a slightly less angle look. Fun for curved hatching.
6. Flexible Rectangle - This rectangle follows your line. It feels a bit like a brush pen for being so flexible in broadness.
7. Rectangle-ly - The last of the rectangular pens, great for bold bold lines with sharp edges.
8. Curvature Pen - A basic blunt flat pen. This pen is great for curves, as the name implies, and I encourage you to change the angle to fit your drawing.
9. Bite My Hip! - You can tell I started running out of names. Anyway, it's a dramatic thin to thick pen with some natural roughness. Feel free to change the pen pressure size curve.
10. Undead Brush Pen - A fat brush pen that you might want to change the pressure curve of depending on your brush pen preferences. Looks best at larger sizes.
11. Where it's at - An easy to use speed pen that feels natural to the touch. I actually like this pen a lot too.
12. Interference Fits - A bumpy, crunchy pen. Looks best at larger sizes, fun for texture adding.
13. Classic Calligraphy - The most basic pen in the pack. I just think this is the perfect flat point & pressure for pens like this.
14. Diamond Pen - Closest to a dip ink pen. Change angle & thickness to your liking.
15. Fat Rat - A rounded octagon with a very thick line thanks to tilt. Squeak, squeak.
16. Jerking Back & Forth Marker - Best used jerking back & forth on the page. A sharp line with a lot of variance. Adjust angle to your liking.
17. Bump in the Night - a spray pen with very big particles, creating a bumpy line. Try it with SD/Chibis.
18. Fake Felt - It feels like a fake felt pen. Easy to use and layer.
19. Fake Felt Bumpy - The same felt pen, but more jitter & angle variance.
20. Thick Jitter - Another spray pen. Thick pen made from tiny, crunchy particles. Adjust size & gap for different looks.
21. Overfilled Inker - A dual pen that feels like a dip nib with too much ink on it, extra ink dripping down as you draw. Feels slightly weird, but fun.
22. Ink Slice - Almost a ribbon brush, this is made of an oval that follows the line. Best at larger sizes since the thickness makes the brush smaller than it actually is.
23. Hillbilly Speedball Pen - A pen that is incredibly blotty. Great to add texture & variance.
24. Mmmmm Crunch Pen - The only pen with an actual texture. It does have some transparent pixels, make sure to draw on a monochrome layer if you need it pure solid.
25. Inky Dither - I kid you not, I always forget stippling is called stippling and not dithering. I've done too much pixel art. ;w; Anyway, fun brush for decoration, texture, or line.
26. Even Dither - Easy to use stipple. Adjust the particle size to your liking.
27. Inky Dither Spray - A varied spray that looks like someone flicked a brush full of ink onto a piece of paper.
28. Clumsy Spray - Can be used as a nearly solid line on smaller sizes & a thick spray on larger sizes. Experiment and see what's best.
29. Oval Dots & 30. Oval Line - Gap Pressure - These can be used as line decoration, pattern, or as a type of highlight, particularly 30.
31. Oval Spray - A spray stipple version of the above. Nice and organic.
32. Space Striped - A really weird dual pen. Try it out and you'll see how odd it is.
33. Outline Pen - MC - A dual brush. Top line is NO pressure on brush size 2, bottom is Pressure Size ON for brush 2. Adjust to what your drawing needs!
34. Doubler - Just a double ribbon pen. Can be used for special effect or a bizarre liner.
