Yea I love those kind of brushes that paint and smear, i have a few on krita that i love and been trying to find something close on csp with no luck. Imo the best one ive ever used is the "Digital Bristle" brush in the default "digital painting" section in art studio pro.
Hi Wes, the way you describe this Faux-toshop wet brush, it sounds a lot like the 'wet textured soft brush' in Krita. I'm quite curious to know what makes that CSP brush feel better in your opinion.
I'll have to dig into the Krita brush and see! I think it may just be one of those things that "everything comes together" with, like the way I hold my stylus, plus the pressure sensitivity, plus the brush engine, a "perfect storm" of things lol.
@@ArtOfWesGardner The holy grail! Glad to know this is even a possibility. For me, much earlier in my artistic journey, I am just aiming for a brush that isn't in the way. The opacity control was the big revelation and got me 95% there. The blending at low opacity of that Krita brush was the nice added surprise although it came with its own learning curve. Now it's mainly down to finding a brush tip that I'm happier with and minor tweaks until I can just stop being distracted by the brush. By the way, I'm going through your landscape techniques course and am really loving it so far. So thank you for all the great content you're providing both on UA-cam and on Gumroad 👍.
Hi Wes, i just dicovered your channel and want to thank you for making helpful content for artists. I just bought a huion kamvas 13 gen 3 for my first display tablet and im hoping to learn how to draw digitally for real. Ive used krita with my regular graphics tablet, but only a bit. Sorry for rambling i will get to the point. Can you tell me how to start learning to draw seriously. I am pretty good at copying, but i cant draw from my head. Should i start with anatomy, shading, techniques or something else entirely. And maybe if you can suggest some helpful books, videos or courses. Thank you in advance ❤
I just saw that you have recently made a video about fundamentals it must be fate. Still i would appreciate any help you are willing to offer, have a great day/night
Hey Stan, thanks for reaching out! So my advice on drawing from imagination will actually be pretty cut-and-dry, as it deals with using references that you like (of subject matter that you're passionate about), and slowly "weaning yourself off" of the references while making similar pieces. So for instance, if you love making art of dragons, you can do a few pieces using references of dragon designs that you like. Then, try your best to make a small sketch or small piece "from imagination", basically just repeating what you've already painted on the previous studies. Every time you do this, you're going to expand your visual library, as well as your confidence, being able to "recall" certain features of the references without having them in front of you. It takes a while to see consistent results, but it DEFINITELY has helped me improve! Hope this helps!

I have nothing smart to say. I comment in hope more people will see you if you get more of those. Consider me a true fan though :)
Thank you tons, Otter! I appreciate you! (Also, don't worry, I usually don't have anything smart to say either LOL)
