- I paint an entire piece with ONLY the basic round brush in photoshop! And you CAN TOO!
This digital art brush challenge is meant to show you that you can paint anything with any brush. Digital art is very versatile and drawing/painting in adobe photoshop can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be.
Be sure to subscribe to see more digital speed paint and speed drawing videos. I mostly create time lapses but also make useful art and graphics tutorials!

Excuse the silly intro, I wanted to make it a little special because I've been screaming at people for years to try this brush more!
Loved that intro
In my opinion, the hard round pressure opacity brush's BIGGEST allure and advantage is that it literally caters to those who started their art passion with pencil and paper. Pressure = DEPTH, CHARACTER, ATTITUDE, SHADOWS, HIGHLIGHTS, MOOD, MOTION, e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.
it's pressure + stroke type for me, man I used to only draw in the standard HB for ages, it's a shame I didn't know how to preserve them back then
I think what people really want to know is how you’re achieving what you are achieving. I see so many rant videos about brushes and all people really want to know is why a particular tool they are using doesn’t seem to behave the same way as when you use it. Your “how to paint____magic” tutorials are the perfect answer to what people really want to know. The actual breakdown of technique is so useful whereas a lot of creators on UA-cam will post something like it’s a tutorial but they don’t actually teach. They just ramble while drawing “so to paint fire you get your brush and you…paint some fire.” Tada! Your tuts are like water in a desert. Their are bajillions of lectures on here about why some bigger principle like composition is more important than technique that are totally useless for people trying to learn. Without technique, learning the big stuff just makes you someone that knows about art not someone that knows how to make art. Lol Most beginners just don’t know how to ask.
This is literally the only brush you need especially if you use it in combination with the selection tool, temp layer, and a soft eraser. You can get hard edges as well as soft edges. Varying the brush size, opacity, flow, and layer effects gives you unlimited possibilities.
ohhh this is what I was looking for! I've been doing traditional art for about 7 years and only just started doing digital a little over a year ago. Still trying to figure out the brushes even now, but I'm finding more and more of videos like these that reccommend just the basic brush and it makes me so happy. Honestly, digital brushes are so overwhelming to me
Didn't notice the scars on his face until you started highlighting them, was rewinding saying to myself "were those scars there THE WHOLE TIME"
The not the whole time, but a little past half way through
This is fantastic!! Many artists try to sell their brushes and so say it's essential to use custom brushes. Also love the piece!
The cinematic piece at the beginning was wonderful
And yeah this was no challenge for you, just an example of your skill
I'm glad you liked it! XD
Well of course I did 😁
It's the wolf from the previous art!! The one with the wolf and woman in the forest...the lore deepens...
Mmmmm the thick plottens!
I want to see u paint a rocky mountain using a rounded brush. I love the rounded one too
Thank you for this supportive video. I have a hard time using different brushes, but I felt peer-pressured to learn them, because every artist is like "You HAVE to have these brushes, download them ASAP!!!1!!"
Now, I know that I can use even the basic brush. Thank you.
As a digital art noob, the hard round brush is basically all I know but I haven't been able to really use it to its full potential. So this will be a fun thing to play around with more. Also, your grungy style is one of the things that draw me to your art. Similar to Brian Moncus'.
I personally don't like to rely on complex texture brushes. But you have to use different brushes, like, it's a tool, tools are created to do specific jobs. Of course, a guy with 1 brush in windows Paint Brush can do amazing things, but it also depends on the painting style.
Thanks you bro, i start learn your tutorial, i found what i searching
This video may be two years old, but I think, as someone who is only recent had the opportunity to get into digital painting, I am inspired to limit myself to primarily this brush and a couple others until I get experienced and comfortable with the brush. Only once I have the comfort of that brush to anchor me, I will expand a more brushes.
So im not an artist, i rarely draw and Im terrible so i'll never be one but i really like the content you got going on so keep up the good work. Also care to share your playlist? Some of the songs you use are downright amazing (for example the minotaur blending vid).
Absolutely unreal.
I hate messing with brush settings so much that for the longest time, this was the only brush I used for everything hahaha.
really love this 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I couldn't find a specific video of yours describing how to blend with a hard round brush. Did I miss something? A short, informative video on the subject would be so useful.
I could do to make an updated video about blending actually
@@Gammatrap Looking forward to it. Your videos are real treasures.
That actually looks like some sick ass powered up transented Atreus from God of war xddd good stuff dude!!
* P. Mohrbacher has entered the chat...
hard round brush supremacy
great video!!
love the art. what is the species on the big screen in the backround?
"I'm gonna color this piece with gradient maps"
*blots 3 lines down
*proceeds to masterpiece
Hey do you remember what your tutorial is called about how to blend with this brush? I can’t find it
It's the one with the bull that has sharp teeth on the thumbnail, kinda blue, photoshop logo
I draw using my mouse so i don't really think that brush is gonna help me if it's all about pressure sensitivity... any suggestions on what brush would be the best pls?
Well first of all, I'd suggest looking into maybe a $35 tablet if you can afford it. Many cheaper tablets can even hook up to both your phone and pc, and both the control and prolonged benefit to your wrist are well worth it. Secondly, I go over how you can blend color with a mouse on my color blending tutorial. It's the one with a bull looking thing on the thumbnail :)
@@Gammatrap uMm i'm 16 and my parents don't support my art that much soo i can't even ask them for a $10 pencil colour set lmao, ihaven't even told them about my instagram art page cus if i do, they'll just take my art supplies away lol
i'm just saying that buying a tablet isnt an option for me, i can only use my laptop lol
i'll check that color blending tutorial out, thank you :D
@@cheesebwead827 I'd say, don't let them know. just do it silently and see where it leads you...I did the same & now I'm a freelance illustrator and I'm so glad I stopped trying to convince my parents to let me do art. I just did it. If you can't get a tablet for now I'd suggest doing art that is less intense for the mouse, like pixel art. Hope it works out for you!
I would suffer for eternity if I attempted to black/white -> color as it would drive me insane. It makes the lighting so much harder.... To me, I find the round brush... Is perfect for skin when combined with an air-brush, I'm to the point I can embrace the sterile side of it, but clearly fun to look at. I find it's great for Manga-Cover style-art, great for masks, hell it is more default tool for coloring / shading, when I use erase tools as said shading as well.
HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!
I only searched for a fire tutorial and I'm stuck in here, your channel is so underrated, YOU ARE SO INCREDIBLE I WANNA BE AS EPIC AT ART MAMMA MIA THAT INSPIRED ME HARD
How much time did this piece take you to finish? I think my sense of patience got ruined by watching just time lapses and I get annoyed easily with the speed of my work, which is probably just fairly long enough agrhhh
Sorry for rant, I'm smol brain
Only about 5 hours I think. Because they're wasn't much rendering or polishing to be done with a hard round brush :) I can upload a cost to real-time video of it if you'd like
@@Gammatrap ooo I see, thank you for the answer. No, that's fine, you don't need to upload it, I can see the entire process clearly, very speedrun and excellent and splendid and W O W O W O W
how long did you take to finish this piece?
What is the procreate equivalent of hard round opacity brush?
You go to airbrush, then pick the one that doesn't look very fuzzy
im always using only round brush
Nice cinematic intro btw lol
Thank you! I wanted to make it a little special because I've been telling people to try this basic brush for YEARS!
@@Gammatrap Yea it's actually been pretty cool to see you draw that. I've been considering just trying out digital painting for the first time and I thought you would need all sorts of tools but I guess I don't need to worry about those yet... Your art is awesome btw
ABSOLUTELY! You don't need much to start and after you establish it as a fun habit you want to improve on, then worry about more gear and brushes.
14 minutes talking about the default round brush hahaha
The painting is really impressive.
I could talk about the default round brush for years
yo if anyone has any experience then what tablet should i buy cus i have one but it dosent have pressure because it was made for osu, and oh yeah awsome vid gamma
Thanks. If you look in most of my other video's descriptions I actually have tablet recommendations for different budgets. This is the first video in a while that I didn't include them.
@@Gammatrap oh thank you. Its because i like drawing but i just havent really figured it out yet but your tutorials help even though it dosent become perfect like yours so ill try that:)
ME: not knowing it was a challenge, I always use that brush lol - Also me: a Dumbass that buys all sort of brushes on artstation.
I don't know, the end result is a master piece, everything is blended smoothly where needs to be, but the brush strokes at the beginning and middle part look awful (for my taste), while other brushes make nice strokes from the beginning, good thing brushes are so easy to make.
I am on the same page with " brush strokes being awful for my tastes "... I've used the round brush, but I have done a digital painting with exclusive a round brush and airbrush and still manage to be the most textural of textures. He's using it wrong... It drives me nutts how there is a lack of expressive color at all, the color is a mood, not a FUCKING TOOL HERE. This maybe coming from a painting background for traditional media and digital... It drives me nuts how there isn't good colour. It's too soft, There needs to be some round strokes of harsh hard edges. I'm used to not even smooth shading at all. I would say, shading wise, I'm a guy that does it, but preserves hard edges within-coloring. As I hate smooth shading. Best way to summarize how this guy used the Digital Round Brush for me....
Oh a World of War craft style.... Eghhhh, It's kitsch to me. Mainly it's boring to me due to the softness when the ROUNDBRUSH IS MORE THAN THAT.
The opacity is disabled isnt?
For the brush? No, the opacity is controlled by pen pressure in this piece.
@@Gammatrap but the opacity jitter is disabled on the top screen bar...
You can control the brush's properties in the brush setting window, including size and opacity jitter and control :) I'd recommend checking it out and finding the best way to make your brush work for you. I have a blending tutorial that goes in depth on controlling the hard round brush if you're interested
@@Gammatrap wheres the link?
You go up to "window" at the top of photoshop, then go down to "brush setting"
There are no bad brushes, only bad artists that don't know how to use them.
Sounds a bit harsh, but it's true.
First...
