So THAT's how people do it!!!
Yep! :)
Going to give it a try! Sweet video!
@Zander Rayden that's toxic...
Wow, I never realized how much effect tablet settings could have. Thanks for another great tutorial!
+Bryan Runyan Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
7 years ago, but YT still recommends this in solving my problem. Bravo!
wow this was really helpful. I've always wondered how to make an inking pencil/brush. Thanks for the tutorial Rob!
+Runar Gisli Anytime! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
i have a question i cant seem to find that setting you pulled up were there is more editing for your brush, were do you find it i never saw that icon on the side on my photoshop program
Omg.... this just helped me get a step closer to drawing.. thank you so much... :D
how u doin now
Thanks for sharing!
"Rob's Awesome Inking Brush Because Rob is Awesome" lol...Yes
+ElodiaGred lol. Glad you got a kick out of that. :)
"It looks like a meteor heading to....(MIDGAR, ..SAY MIDGAR...) the planet or something"... LOL. Good video. Very helpful.
WOW! This has instantly improved my digital graphics,many thanks
Your welcome!
Awesome! been playing around making my own grunge texture brushes and was curious what would work best as a drawing/inking brush. Thank you sir!
+Big Dave Smith Your very welcome and thank you for watching this channel!
Years later and this still is relevant. Thank you so much for this, I have been struggling for ages to draw realistic looking ink illustration. I thought that Photoshop was the problem... turns out it was a combination of my ignorance and Wacom settings. Big thumbs up!
I'm thinking of buying your brushes, are compatible with Photoshop CS6?
I just discovered UA-cam and videos such as this! I really enjoy your videos. I have been doing cartoons and illustrations for about 50 years and have made a ton of mistakes, as nobody seemed to be able to tell me or teach me what I really wanted and needed to know back then, as none of the stuff that I wanted to do was available then! It was way before any computer graphics of any kind were available and CGI wasn't even a word. I guess I was born too early! Computers that could only do a fraction of what computers today that you can carry with you can do couldn't fit into several large buildings and still couldn't compare with what can now be done! I always knew what I wanted to do but couldn't see the way to get there! I winged it and got by while I now find that the World has evolved far faster than I was aware and I have been left behind! Rather than feel sad or regret anything I may have missed , I prefer to try and pick up on what I have missed and carry on as best as I can! I feel my cartoons and my art are still pertinent but know I have a lot of catching up to do! I need to be able to work in layers and need to have templates that I can download and use! This World and the World of computer graphics has and continues to grow at a pace that surpasses my ability to comprehend and absorb. Luckily, it also allows be to stop and repeat, as many times as is necessary to be absorbed through my thick skull! Thanks for giving us old folks a tool that is appropriate! I would appreciate some more about templates! I have the full Adobe Creative Suite at my disposal as well as Sketchbook Pro but haven't developed my skills enough to keep pace and I'm not getting any younger! I need to get my ideas created and presented before I find my expiration date has arrived and find that I was too late!
Could you please clarify why still use traced lines for shading (old style comics) instead of "real shading" with blurring and color intense variance? Why still use the traced lines? Thanks for the good video!
I know this is old but thank you. I could never gett an inking brush that i liked and now i've made a few of my own. This was so helpful
this 1000 dpi resolution is created for the comic? Are there any guidelines for which projects to create brushes with a given dpi resolution?
Robert, I'm new to your channel. The way you are using your new brush, I assume that you are not working with a clunky mouse. What is the hardware you are using to actually draw the lines?
Do you have to have pen tool hook up when creating the brush. I noticed mind didn't change shape when i clicked control pen pressure. It stayed the same.
thank you so much, greetings from Brazil :3
why does lowering the size make them all look pixely and garbage.. i spent $2 on ur presets but at 5px its garbage looking
you can download it here, I hope this isn't illegal lol, but for those who are too lazy to make it here's the link to download it c: drive.google.com/file/d/1pCtfsXTeOf3e64vaa5JtX27qd4EU4MHs/view?usp=sharing
truthfully thats the only reason why i enjoy pen an ink over digital the line weights are so much more controlled
Why i click pen preesure but it show a danger icon .-.
hmm.. 2 bucks... another money beggar.. :D
It wont allow me to choose define brush present .. What do I do?
How many of you didn't even watch the full video after 4:30 coz you were too excited you had a good working ink brush??!! Be honest. LOL
Thanks, man! Super helpfull.
SAI and Manga Studio both have mouse smoothing or whatever it's called, so when I go back to photoshop for inking everything looks so jagged in comparision, is there any smoothing setting type thing in photoshop? I'm using CS3 by the way, things might have improved in newer versions but I havnt tried em.
yea, I had to upgrade to CC 2015, it's so much better than cs3 and if you think about it cs3 was released ten years ago so the tablet technology didn't even scratch the surface of what we use today
Fuck me that lil tip on just firming up my pen - brilliant
Hi Robert thanks for this video!!!!!!
Just downloaded your awesome brush!!!!!!
Is this brush also ok to be used for commercial use as well / or should be credited when using????
+TheBharat07 Your welcome and yes use it for whatever you need! :)
Thank you very much for this video. I don't have a cintiq, but an old wacom tablet, too small, in my opinion. It's really hard drawing in this condition... -_- You're very helpful!
i hope this wont be a headache to learn, knowing where everthing in photoshop is, as well with mangastudio.
cause i know 0% about them... lol
+Seth Leblanc You will get there. It just takes time. Plus when you discover some of the features, it gives you ideas for new pieces of art to create with them. Thanks for watching!
No problem, & thanks for the words! 👍
+Seth Leblanc Anytime bud!
Great video!!! I am not an expert in the least, and in fact, I am a full-fledged newbie that is still figuring out all of this, so forgive me if this a dumb question: what are you using to "draw" all the stuff in this tutorial? A mouse? Or are you using some sort of "pen" a la Wacom tablet or Cintiq? Thanks!!!
I alredy put the dinamic shapes and the brush tip shapes options just like you did, but my brush looks pixelated and I don´t understand why. I even traced your form to avoid mistakes. 😣😓
Ah okey, if I work on 300 pp resolution looks ok, I guess 1000 pp was too much for my photoshop 😂. Thanks! I already give you al ike and subscribed 😁
Hey bro does this work on hp pen? I'm using a 2 in 1 laptop the hp spectre x360 i hope this method works cuz i need that pressure
I wish I could help. I don't really know the specs you are talking about. As long as you are running Photoshop CC the brush will work. You will also need a pressure sensitive stylus. If you have all those things it should work just fine. Good luck to you and thank you for watching!
Could you add your Photoshop version name to your titles? I have 21.2 The brush settings are completely different. As a novice this is intimidating. I would also like to have your version as the pen pressure is an issue in mine. (Five years later lol)
WOWOWOWOW! I found you! It's really great! I couldn't find such a brushes in the Internet as an archive with presets. Thank you for this video. What a lucky day!
P.S. I also found videos about the human anatomy on your channel. So, I hope, you will be pleased if I subscribe! Make more videos, I'll make everything to help you to develop the channel more. Thanks!
Thanks very much for subscribing and I appreciate the cool comment! :)
Only issue with this I'm having is my brush is still turning out grainy looking instead of smooth like yours. Turning down the spacing to 1% helped slightly, but it still doesn't look as smooth as yours. I even smoothed out the edges by making a new brush, but I can't get it to look quite a sharp as yours and smooth. Even tried enhancing the gaussian blur. Unsure what else to try. :/
That's awesome tutorial !!. I just found your channel and subscribe due the grear tutorials!!!. 2 questions, besides to practice, how do you do to follow the same line so many times? I'm used to my normal pencils, and now with my tablet is a bit difficult.
And, in some tutorials people have active the target symbol on the top, others not. What do you recommend?
Thanks a lot and stay safe !! Cheers from Barcelona !!
I'd never realised how the tablet settings can impact brushes, thanks Robert!
Happy to help David! Thanks for watching! :)
thank you sir, the settings was the real problem, it really helped me
Happy to hear it!
If I have saved a group of brushes say "dog brushes" as an example. Then I add another dog brush later on. Do I have to resave all the group again? or is it automatically saved on my computer?
This Video Was Super Beneficial,Thanks Buddy
this is by far the best tutorial on how to create a brush omg... do you think I can use this to make brushes for modern calligraphy lettering..and get that effect from brush pen calligraphy?
great video super useuful exactly what i wanted to know, i actually didn't even have the sound on and only watched about a minute in before getting exactly what i had been searching for. that being said, he did say "an absorbent amount of time" when i'm pretty sure he meant "exorbitant"
Thank you! that was helpfull!
I know this video is old but you've helped me tremendously. You are a wonderful artist and person and I value your tutorials and commentaries highly. Even with my old Intuos 4 I'm still able to achieve some kick-ass results because of your videos. Thank you.
Thanks for that video!
Well, I don't know if you've lead a virtuous life, but you're going to heaven for this. Haha..Thanks man, BIG help!
I hope so!! You're welcome and thank you for watching!
ppl whu share these golden tips on utube are god..ppl really dnt share..all this stuff..wanted this so bad for so many years.
Great ! but what I'm really looking for is an inking program that I could use on the contour drawing to save a lot of time.
Hey! Thanks for the amazing video! I have a problem with my brushes though...whenever I try to use a brush with my pen it has this annoying fade effect where it starts at low opacity and I have to paint over it like 3 times to get the full color. Help??
man i look up to you your very talented and your works helps so much...good job
+Kevens Desroches Thanks bud! I appreciate you watching this channel. :)
Excellent tutorial very informed and simply explained; Thanks for making this video!
Another tip I found that you may like is to rotate the canvas by holding down the R button whilst in brush tool mode. Hold the R Button down and you can rotate the canvas any way you like
Agreed. I use that feature all the time too. Thanks!
Really good advice thanks, my drawings have a much nicer line now 😁
I am happy to help!
Yo, that tip about pen sensitivity was MASSIVE! Thanks!
Great tutorial! you get a sub from me
I have the newest up to date version of PS and a warning icon appears when i try to use "control- Pen Pressure" could anyone help?
What is this Photoshop?
I mean to ask CS6? WHAT VERSION IS IT?
I've been using the calligraphy pen tool with the same settings you use and with the Wacom table.
Great video
Thank you very much for your comment and for watching!
Really good explanation! Thank for sharing!
Finally, I created a perfect ink brush! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you , But how can I change my Windows Computer sitting as you done by Mac ?
I need help, does this technique work with a basic wacom tablet, i cant find the paint brush settings i dont have the icon
this is awesome rob. ty. I have another brush I made in my preset but this is better. thanks a bunch.😄
You're very welcome!
how you do to have the sharp edges ?
❤❤
Superb tutorial Mr. Marzullo! Thanks for this vid! Now i can create whatever brush i need to suit my needs. Stay blessed!
Nice Tutorial!
VERY Beneficial. Thanks.
Bought some brushes just to support your making this video Thank you, it was extremely helpful.
great brush set! thanks alot, but my canvas is slightly blurry, do you know how i can get it sharp like yours?
+mikegreenemusic Bump up your resolution and that should help. I work at at least 300dpi and usually 9" x 16" for my canvas size. Thanks for watching!
I'm kind of new to photoshop, and the brush looks sort of pixelated, it might be because of the resolution.. Any tips on how to fix this?
Not sure. Maybe up the canvas resolution that you are drawing on. Good luck and thanks for watching!
+Robert Marzullo ok thanks!
Wowww thank you a lot!
thank you sir
Requesting manga studio -brushes as well! :)
+Vsankari I will add that to the video request list. Thanks for watching!
YOOO THANK YOH SO MUCH FOR THIS VID, IM LIKING IT
Really helpful. Thanks a lot for sharing
Thank you alot!
I subbed you because of this video. I've been struggling with my art for a LONG time and was recommended to try this. Instant change. Thanks!
Like I'm seriously blown away by this. I was so upset that nothing seemed to work for my digital art. You're a lifesaver!
Do it work with Krita?
Thaks!
Thank you it's very helpfull :)
I buyed those brushes, Perfect, thanks.
Thanks so much this really helped😁
Very good video!
thanx robert....i got to learn a lot ...very informative video
this video is a holy grail for new designers learning photoshop. i have been using photoshop for 4 years now.. and nobody told me u could do so much awesome things with it.
Can I ask where can I download manga studio?
Excellent! Awesome tip's...tanxsss!!!!!
its becaue you are having us make the resolution 1000px
so at a 1,000 resolution when you print it is it still blurry?
when you put pen pressure your brush changes according to the pressure and smoother edges, at 3:26 but mine still looks the same! i did exactly what u said and it doesn't work, any reasons what can i do? am i doing something wrong? help!
What tablet are you using?
I wonder if it's hard to use photoshop on a mac?
Thank you
This is a really old video, but I'm glad I stumbled into this. This is the one I've been looking for. I'm going to create my own brush later and see how it changes the feel of my work. Thank you so much! :D
Interesting way to get there. Thanks for the walkthrough.
Awesome!
waecom
