thanks! I use procreate so if this doesn’t make sense to you that’s why.

up until recently, I would use the studio pen brush from inking for everything!! Lineart, color, coloring the lineart, shading, etc. an example of what that looks like is here!

I like the studio pen because it is excellent at tapering and easy to control with the Apple Pencil. It makes smoother lines 


Although lately I’ve been experimenting with different brush styles, and now I use Narinder pencil from the sketching section for my lineart. I still color and shade with the studio pen, which is still my all-time favorite and go-to brush :D

side not- I actually duplicated narinder pencil and made a few tweaks, I just changed the pressure taper aspect to give me tapered tips. (Before it was blunt)

i started using narinder pencil because I like the ‘sketchy’ kinda style the brush has. After changing the taper, it has as much control as the studio pen, but with a different grain. I use this because I wanted my art to look softer than it was with the studio pen. Sometimes, I duplicate the lineart and Gaussian blur it just a tad, then turn the opacity down to like 30. This gives it an even nicer soft effect :D


Some other brushes I use:

- monoline from calligraphy: i use this to make the white ‘sticker’ outlines

- soft airbrush from airbrushing: this one is helpful for shading and laying out a color to tint the whole drawing

- and I have a few custom brushes that are a checkered and buffalo check pattern- I use them for bandanas or accessories that have checkered patterns so I don’t have to draw each square. (If you want these I can send them)

ah ok! tysm!
