can i ask what brushes/opacities you use?
if possible could i also have examples???
i need a brush that doesn't make my art look flat, idk
hihii! heres a dropbox link to all the brushes im sharing here that arent available on gumroad etc, i hope it works! ill explain each below
for my opacities theyre usually just at full opacity, lowest ill go is like 75% for lining/sketching
i mainly use the jingsketch free brush pack you can get for free for most of my stuff, but i use a lot of different brushes i find and or make based on the artwork im drawing. also i dont really do lineart, just clean up sketches and render on top after i color!
the first pic’s the jingsketch brushes i use the most! i use the last three (flat square, sharp, round render and the sketch brushes) for coloring in things in most of my art, though i mainly only use flat square for bgs and blocking in clouds. for blocky render i use it to both render and also block in objects for bgs, its similar to flat square except harsher and less soft
for coloring things i also just use the lasso tool around what i want to be colored and fill. i reccomend coloring/rendering with the round render for a softer feel!
- i usually use the clean sketch, round sketch jingsketch brushes above, and below pineapple, tinderbox and sharp energetic for sketching/lining
i kinda just switch between each depending on which i feel like using but its *typically pineapple* for most of my drawings because i like the soft flowly feel it gives. if i want more harsher lines i use the harsher brushes!
tinderbox is a procreate preset brush so just search a little and you should find it!
for messy watercolor, i usually only use it to color in doodles or blush (along with round render) and i got it from this pack by eriririnn, and the sword and multipurpose brush are only for small details so they arent a major part of the brushes i use but they help (in dropbox)
as for examples, heres a few simpler ones so you have a better idea on how they work
i hope that helps!! if it also serves any advice i usually make quick strokes instead of slower ones and keep shapes in mind when i sketch which could give that illusion of it being less flat, and instead spend more of my time rendering and coloring to help emphasize
coloring your lines help a lot too and make the piece easier on the eyes, but that depends on the colorscheme and what you want the painting to convey
