I’ve been getting a lot of asks lately about the brushes and textures I use in my work, so here’s a BIG FAT REFERENCE POST for those of you who were curious! Bear in mind that I’m really lazy and don’t know what half the settings do, so don’t be afraid to experiment to figure out what works best for you :>

BRUSHES

Pencil I use the pencil tool with SAI’s native paper texture both for sketching and for applying opaque color with no blending. Lower opacities give it the feel of different pencil hardnesses, while full opacity makes it more like a palette knife, laying down hard-edged, heavy color for detail work or eventual blending with other brushes. Ink Pen Mostly made this because I’m lazy and I didn’t want to have to keep turning my textures off/opacity up when I wanted to ink something (even though I don’t do it very often), or lay down flat colors. I find the line quality to be much more crisp than Photoshop, and you can manually adjust in-program stabilization to help smooth out hand wobbles. Round Brush The plain ol’ brush tool acts as sort of an in-between for me in terms of brush flow. It’s heavier than my usual workhorse brush, for faster color application and rough blending, but not as heavy as the pencil tool, which has no blending at all. I like to use the canvas texture on this brush to help break up the unnatural smoothness that usually accompanies digital brushes, but it works just fine without. Flat Brush A brush tool set to flat bristle is by far my favorite to paint with. I don’t use any textures with it because I think the shape of the brush provides enough of that by itself. I use it for everything from rough washes to more refined shaping and polish. It’s just GREAT.

Watercolor Best used for smooth blending, washes, gradients, and smoky atmospheric effects. Cloud Basically a grittier version of the watercolor tool, because too much smoothness weird me out. Good for clouds and fog, as the name suggests, or just less boring gradient fills.

TEXTURE OVERLAY

To further stave off the artificially smooth look of digital painting, I almost always overlay some sort of paper texture, and it’s almost always this one, which I scanned and edited myself. You’re all welcome to use it, no permission required!

Using overlays in SAI is just as easy as using them in Photoshop. Just paste the texture into its own layer above everything you want it to apply to, and change the layer mode to Overlay. That’s it!

Want a more prominent texture? Up the contrast. Something more subtle? Lower the contrast or reduce the layer opacity. You can also use a tinted overlay to adjust the overall palette and bring a little more color unity to an otherwise disparate piece! Just be aware that too much texture can hurt the readability of the work beneath it, so I’d err on the side of subtlety.

Hope that helps!

i told myself i would quickly redo this post before doing anything else bc i don’t really have all these brushes anymore so i did hahaha. EXTREMELY HUGE MASTERPOST FEAT. ALL MY IMPORTANT BRUSHES!

ummmm, info on some of my brushes :

i use the ‘Blotchy Thick’ brush on most of my art! really good for lineart.

the 'Ballpoint Pen’ is really handy for writing.

the 'Pen’ brush is one of my fave brushes! idk it just has like. that really crisp looking edge to it. i tried to get it look really nice like a photoshop brush.

'Pencil’ brush is what i use for editing dangan ronpa sprites!

'Smooth Jazz’ is really cool. it looks all wispy if you hold your stylus down and add pressure lightly.

'Sumi-E’ is really cool and handy when it comes to making those really old Japanese styled traditional art.

a lot of these textures should be in SAI already! heck, most of my brushes don’t even have textures.

대한민국 대통령이 대한민국 국민을 탄압하고 있습니다

South Korean president is now suppressing South Korean people

韓国の大統領が今韓国の国民を弾圧しています

Today(2015.11.14) Hundreds of people attended the rally in Gawng Hwa, Seoul.

They are against Korean Government's dictatorship. Korean Government forced to publishing ‘Government-published textbooks’. that means they will change korean history suit their tastes. And many people against that. also for Labor welfare.

But the president is in G20 right now. She is ignoring this situation and just using force to people.

THIS IS A PEACEFUL ASSEMBLY. NO ONE ATTACKED. THEY ARE JUST SAYING MESSAGE TO GOVERNMENT. BUT POLICES ATTACKED PEOPLE.

Polices abused CN solution to people. Polices attacked a ambulance, that injured people in it.

no difference between North Korean Government and them.

But South Korean Medias announce nothing or tell just shits.

I’m really angry and sad.

I also praying for Paris tragedy. #prayforPARIS

Thank you for reading.

The final piece that I did for the SPIRIT OF THE WIND 2015: A Studio Ghibli Tribute Show curated by 3tArts (The team also put together MOON CRISIS last year which was named one of OC weekly’s top ten 2014 shows.) Princess Mononoke was one of the first and still all time favorite Ghibli film’s I’ve seen and will always hold a special place in my heart.

I am selling a very limited amount of prints of this piece over on my Etsy! Get them while you can :)

I make sanctuaries for myself from the places in my head - mountain ranges, narrow alleyways, canopy shadows. If stories were air then I’d breathe my best with a pen in hand and a blank canvas in front. My highest passion is to draw, but I’m also fond of design, writing, coding and problem solving. I always try to put the best of myself in what I create so that I may love the work I produce.
