Spring is almost here and all the snow has melted in Sweden! I'm excited to see what plants will grow in the garden. A little fox 🦊 visited our yard the other night so I've been dreaming of it wandering through the forest and bringing spring 🌱🌷🌼🌹🌻

The inspo photo I took!

Hey I'm a recent follower and I really liked your pencil/pen shading renditions! I was wondering if it's okay to ask what brushes you use for those pieces? If you don't want to answer it's fine, I understand that some artist are not comfortable sharing the type of brushes they use for free. Please feel free to ignore this message as well in that case.

I use medibang on pc for painting and medibang on ipad for pencil/pen illustrations or sketches! I'm not a huge fan of medibang's default brushes (and I couldn't be bothered with paying for the premium subscription either) so I made my own custom bitmap brushes!

This is my sketch brush bitmap:

I don't really have any consistent brush presets depending on what I'm trying to do but this is what she looks like:

Some more notes on brush usage; she's pretty awesome for painting too! I tend to paint and draw with antialiasing off and sometimes I will also turn off "rotate along" (especially for illustrations or getting a thin texture for hair and stuff). Here are some examples of its usage:

it's pretty multipurpose and I like to use it for just about anything (it's also nice for environment painting)! Especially on pc, it's been really useful to make custom brushes that workaround having no pen pressure sensitivity (if you are a mouse artist like me).

If you have any questions about other brushes I use or my painting process, I'd be happy to answer!
