No one asked, but…here are my brush settings! These are for Manga Studio 5/Clip Studio Paint. I suppose I can just like give a download link but really the main brush here is just a circle brush with all the settings tweaked. Plus the best brushes are the ones you make yourself imo, since everyone draws a little differently. So you don’t have to follow these exactly.
First one is a plain circle brush with settings meant to emulate a felt-tip brush pen. It’s my go-to brush for drawing and inking and I pretty much use it for everything (and a variation of it for coloring)!. Unfortunately it needs a tablet pen that supports tilt to get the extreme variation in width in a single stroke like in the picture.
Second one is more a tip than a brush, but basically to get brushes opacity and texture to behave more like in Photoshop, you gotta check “mix brush tips with darken” under the stroke tab and the pressure settings have to be tweaked a lot. There’s tutorials for how to adapt Photoshop brushes into Manga Studio but at least the one I followed didn’t mention this. (It was also from 2 years ago though). Anyway there’s like 5 billion more PS brushes floating around than MS/CSP ones so knowing how to import them is a useful skill, just takes a bit of time.
sorry the images are kind of a huge mess but there are SO MANY OPTIONS.
