Yeah, just download any brush and rename it “my own brush, that I made myself, without any external inspiration, after meditating on the concept for a year inside a dark cave”
@@emil-9432 Well, I named the one that I made "my own brush, that I happen to make after seeing a similar-looking brush on multiple people's videos, that I definitely didn't pause the video to copy the brush head."
Thank you so much for explaining about the flow and opacity stuff, you have changed my life. I think there is a similar setting called "color jitter" on Medibang - changing that setting made the brush look a lot more organic.
Usually my process of creating brushes is if I like a certain brush set an artist uses and theyre up for download, i download them. But then I change around most of the textures used and the brush setting to fit me more. Quite often I edit the alpha too to make it for eg, symmetrical, or more angular depending on what I want to use the brushes for. Most of the time I Frankenstein my brushes with other peoples brushes
I remember Marc Brunet posting a video on youtube about how he made his square brush. I followed it, and I've used it for basically everything since. Great video, Borodante! Though, changing brushes can be a good way to keep the work fresh; Proko has a great video about it. If you think about traditional painting, you have various brushes for different uses. Think flat, round, squared, soft, angled, what type of hairs, and so on. The texture of the canvas remains the same, yet the brushes provide visually different strokes and edges. For me, it looks more organic.
something i head was, never throw out a brush, even as it gets old and changes shape, that just means you have a new brush with it's own new unique features :D
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was so tired of asking artists for brushes. I rlly wanted to make my own but no one ever taught the theory behindnit. But now i found this. Im finally achieving the effect i have wanted for years. U also use my dream art style! Subbed.
@BORODANTE - I wanted to pop in and say thank you. I just watched 4 or 5 of your videos and I've picked up tons of helpful information. I've been putting in crazy hours working on my 2D when the family goes to sleep and I've been sort of in a rut for the last month or so., which has been discouraging. Your channel just got me going and this video on creating brushes just opened my eyes to a new level and has pushed me forward. Again, Thank you!
Helped me understand how brushes work in digital painting. Also made me realise how digital painting is like looking through a lens. Image is blurry at start but as you progress the details begin to standout. Thanks for the great tutorial.
3:35 Recently I've seen a Tyler Edlin video, and he said the exact opposite. I think multiple brushes are ok if you actually use a lot of different styles, if everything stands out, nothing stands out.
You are an absolute expert. And I love the way you explain as well. I am completely new to this world, and have loads and loads to learn and understand. Great job brother. Josh
12 seconds in and I'm already assured by refuted 19th century science that this man is going to provide me with the information I need, but he will also present to me a dillemma in which I must choose whether to follow the path of good or follow him down the path of wickedness. We'll see how this plays out, but an extremely promising intro.
I just tried this method of painting after years of sketch>line art>color, I decided to break free of the details early on and just make blobs, then add colors and rough details, the finer details, got a very nice finish much quicker and found it easier to make sense of the subject going in reverse order... Gonna go make me a custom brush tomorrow and start branding my art with my own signature brush. :)
Dude, your guides are the best. I did pixelart on the Amiga back in the 90s and just started looking at painting in Photoshop. Got myself a Wacom tablet, been looking at tons of guides, and yup, you guessed it, harvesting all kinds of brushes. I'll just stay here on your channel and make my own damn brushes from now on. Thank you!
When I saw this title I had to look at what this was about. When I heard you say people ask for your brushes I was taken aback. That’s rude and moochie, you don’t owe them. Give me that image you made, I want it! That’s not how this works people. You pay people for their time and value their work. That said, thanks for speaking to this and broaching the complex nature of brush creation. It is intimidating to open the configuration panel and see all the settings and it takes time to figure out what they all do. The only way is by testing, fiddling around and seeing, but it helps when someone who already knows about this shares information! The point you make about making your own marks into a brush is well taken. Most brushes I’ve purchased need tweaking to get to a place that works. A brush designed by the artist is right from the start. I’ve been given several brushes generously from Painter masters and adjacent community over the years and do treasure them, purchased some which served a purpose, but what you say is all true. You are a benevolent teacher Boro, a wealth of talent, and I always enjoy hearing your thoughts on art and digital creation.
i think brushes shine best in background paintings .. using different "stamps" for different things in nature ... real painters (oil ) have used shortcuts for this for centuries .. they didnt paint in all the leafs individually .. also a completely square brush is good for scribbling in architecture or otehr mehanical/edged stuff
I love this video, it honestly gave me the courage to make my own brushes and I actually love the outcome! Drawing on my Ipad feels a lot more natural now. Thank you so much 🌱
Aside from the comment reading videos, this was the first one that I stood from start to finish, and even went back a few times. Your channel grows in my mind everyday :)
This is exactly what I was looking for. I've been getting into digital painting lately and I've been playing with the brush settings, I downloaded a bunch of brushes but its just not working so I decided to look for a video that sort of explains how they work. I just stumble upon your channel and I really dig your style. Thank you for the tips.
yeah that's probably the best advice i could have gotten. switching from traditional painting to digital tomorrow and was looking for brushes. guess i only need one. thanks man. your artwork is pretty awesome too.
It is 2019 so I am not sure how much has or hasn’t changed with the iPad. However, ironically enough I was able to use all these principles to recreate one of my favorite custom brushes from Photoshop in Procreate and use this video as a tutorial for practicing on the iPad! Thank you for sharing so much knowledge, it does actually help a lot!
We think YOUR BRUSH'S will make use as good as you lmbo. Your cool dude! What is so helpful is knowing and understanding the different settings! Thank you.
This is seriously the most helpful video i've ever watched and i've been watching a lot of tutorial and how to videos..... Thanks a bunch!! and I'm also new at digital drawing so having to watch it from you at an early stage, really helped a lot.
I’ve been using Photoshop since 1993 and always made my own brushes. It really depended on what I was painting. If I was painting an elephant that needed wrinkle textures, I would make a number of brushes for that. Now I have thousands of brushes but the ones I use most are the grunge brushes I have created.
I think it's still might be useful, to share a brush-sets. For example, for looking up some of brush preferences. Like "hmmm... I wonder how much of a flow used here?" or something like that. )
I agree with you when you say that learning how to make brushes that complement your art style is extremely important and a vital asset to have in your skillset, but also disagree with using only one brush/one size to some extent. Even when painting traditionally on a real canvas with oil paints, acrylics, etc for example, artists utilize differently sized brushes for different purposes, or grip their brush in different ways and apply different amounts of pressure to achieve different looking strokes, and that alone is an integral part of their style. Every artist paints differently, and what works for you might be totally disregarded by someone else because - especially in art - there aren't universal rules everyone _always_ follows 100% of the time; it's what makes every artist unique and interesting.
Thank you. Now I only needed to find all the windows and photoshop problems making my pressure not working... houres later I made it work.... thanks again.
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I've just started with digital art and this helped me out a lot. Got a brush that feels pretty close to Acrylic paints with this tutorial. Instead of trying to use 20+ brushes, I now use 1 brush for painting and experimenting a lot to make my own brushes! Thanks again!
If you are a Substance Painter or Substance Designer user you could also create those grunge or dirt seamless textures yourself procedurally within one of those softwares. This way you can create an infinite amount of custom textures for your brushes without having to download pictures from the net, which will make it even more customized and part of your own creative process :) Thanks for this video, which brought me to that idea. Did not think of using custom textures for brushes before. A great advice.
Holy shit this is the only brush tutorial I've ever learned anything from. I insta-subbed, thank you so much for the tough love lol. _Also I love your accent and facial structure_
Talking about brushes and stuff, Krita 4.0 came out! I think you'll like the new version, it got a lot of brushes and optimizations. I loved your previous Krita and Artrage videos and I'd love to see a new one about this version :0
For the texture I prefer to use a different method, please tell me what you think. This work on Clip Studio Paint, because you can choose an indefinite number of brush tip. I create with a selection a basic shape (usually a rectangle because I found it works better with the brush engine of CSP). With this selection everything I will do will have this basic shape as a reference. After this I create some little shapes spreading them a LOT, like there is a LOT of empty space. Imagine 6-7 little points of 5px in a rectangle of 200x200px. Now I create a new layer and I do the same. I repeat the proces until I found the right density of little shapes, like the whole selection is black. After this I register all the layers I've created and I put them as brush tips. After this I go to stroke, first of all I put repeat method "random" (so those little point will be putted at random in the stroke). Now is the part of fine tuning and is really personal on what you want to do. You go to stroke and click gap>fixed. After this you can use the pressure/tilt/velocity settings to change the gaps between the brush tips. If the gap is small those little points will create a solid color, if the gap is a lot you will have some random little noise that you can use to create a texture. For an example I use the pressure settings to make a brush in which the more pressure I put the more solid color I have, the lesser the pressure more texture I will have.
Super helpful video! I was always downloading and trying out other brushed but could never find any that worked, but was able to make a good one pretty quickly. Thanks!
I'm a bit confused as I use multiple types of brushes in a physical painting, but I suppose it's a different set of rules. I remember one next level artist who only used a standard round brush in Photoshop to paint. You have a very nice skull.
John Matthias many amazing professionals use multiple brushes don’t think this guys word is law. Using one brush is a somewhat lazy choice that is fine for a unified stylized approach but not by any means THE ONLY ONE RIGHT WAY. Like he implies Aaron Blaise uses many brushes for heavens sake and most concept art professionals, etc. He’s flat out wrong in this video. If someone chooses one brush that’s fine but to imply it’s the correct and only path is insulting and in accurate.
I do both digital and traditional, so I get where you're coming from, and there's really no need to stick to a single brush if you don't like that, but irl you'd usually change the brush for size or for shape. The first is out of the question in digital, no need to change brushes for that, and sticking to a single brush or max 2 can really make painting coherent sometimes :)
you can use different brushes like sketch brush ink brush or painting brush/oil brush his word is no a law i use different brushes but he uses mostly one brush becouse of his art style and that one fits his art style i do line art on my drawings so i need different brushes but he doesnt need multiple brushes becouse he doesnt have rough lines i mean he doesnt have lines at all so its much easier for him to use only one brush it depents of what art style you have if you have artstyle like you are painting with watercolors you only need one brush maybe 2 but if you do comic style art you need multiple brushes maybe 4 or 5 to make best shit that you can make so dont be confused if he says to do what he does dont follow it if you dont have similar art style as him maybe you can get some tips out of his video if you dont have similar art style as him
@@valasafantastic1055 did you watch the video? He literally said that it's specifically for his style and not everyone's gonna do it this way, so your statement that he's flat out wrong is incorrect. And in the end this isn't really a lazy approach do to it either, it's just a more straightforward way that's easier in some situations and harder in others. He's just saying that you don't need a specific brush to create an object, and even if multiple brushes helps make a specific texture, the shape of the object itself doesn't need to rely on which brush you have.
I think he may have sounded more dogmatic than he meant to. It sounds like he was moreso touching on gimmicky brushes like brushes specifically for painting clouds or brushes that are little leaves to quickly make foliage. If not then yeah I agree that makes no sense. As long as you keep things fairly similar in its rendering it will look cohesive
I don't agree about the 1 brush thing. The importance s not to only use 1 brush but to be consistent in the painting, you can 3 difference brushes but together not "one for this, one this other thing etc...) I don't know if it make sense. But yeah you can use a lot of brushes, it add a lot of texture to do that btw, just they have to work together in the wole painting.
This is cool, I can't wait to try it out! Might attempt to make one that's good for a painterly style. (I just discovered this channel yesterday, really happy that I did.)
Yes, the iPad Pro software can frustrating for a certain type of digital painter. I did comment back when you did the Tab 3 video that I'd be very surprised if the iPad could end up as real desktop replacement for the kind of art you do... Then again, if Paintstorm eventually finds a way to get its program to work well on iPad I might feel very differently about this.
Nice one, I start to have a little level in digital painting mainly thanks to you and I was at a point I wanted to have this identity presonnal brushes create even if until there I used yours (and still does in some case) and this video gets out at the exact rght moment. Thanks pal ! Keep it up, your content is great and no one is as bald as you !
Heeeey I don't know why but this reminded me of a fast and furious reference from "make your own got damn popcorn". LOL Thanks for the information as well very helpful.
It's interesting how the brush settings are basically the opposite of drawings (at least for how I would like my settings personally)... When drawings I really don't want the opacity and flow changes, but do really want the size changes, especially for the lineworks...
Usually when I “asks for a brush” I ask for the shape of it looks cool or textured if looks cool, and then make my own brush with it because I like to customize my stuff … now give me your life force
tfw after an almost full day of April Fools videos you're expecting another one, but you find a pretty interesting and useful one instead. Thanks Boro! :D
Hey Dante, How can i paint details without making my brush smaller? When i decrease the size of the brush it becomes obvious that something else was implemented in the picture other that one brush.
It seems like you're asking about brush texture used as brush mask (procreate engine is the best example). Your texture of brush should stay the same scale while diameter of brush (so to say) becomes smaller. It makes your general strokes look made by the same tool but with its thin tail. It works in Procreate and it works as well in Painter 'cause in Painter texture is a property of canvas and is shared across all your brushes and strokes. I guess there are corresponding settings in most of professional drawing apps.
I have been trying to make my own brush, and I don't think anyone else explained flow. It's always and you adjust your opacity and flow here. lol But ouuuuuu that is exactly what I need, thanks! Yeah and also, I have always thought that I must be stupid because most of the brush customization options are off, but phew.
Tried to mimic other artists brushes! Sorry ppl, I do support as well. It’s a lot of fun & I’ve gotten some pretty close results for what I’ve done so far. Others ie. certain scanned oil or chalks are a bit trickier & worth buying from the artist if you want to heavily rely on it for your art :::)
Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day
Teach a man how to make his own brushes and he'll paint fishes everyday
I’m not painting any fishes...lol.
LMALAOAOA
Oof
Only dead fish swim along the stream
Smart men paint butts and eat fish everyday
I make my own brushes. They just happen to resemble exact replicas of other people's brushes.
well there been people on different part of the word that invent same stuff too before :D
Yeah, just download any brush and rename it “my own brush, that I made myself, without any external inspiration, after meditating on the concept for a year inside a dark cave”
@@emil-9432 Well, I named the one that I made "my own brush, that I happen to make after seeing a similar-looking brush on multiple people's videos, that I definitely didn't pause the video to copy the brush head."

hahahhahahaha
Yeah give us the brushes
LMFAO love this

You are such a form of inspiration....
gianfar its a serious question lol.
Ooo i shall try a thing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I think this is the most important thing I've heard all week.
One thing I know about artistic style:
Different strokes for different folks.
But the bell pepper brush is all you really need
@@rapidfire4202 nah i use the mouse with a brush in his mouth.
I‘ll make a painting only using the bell pepper brush now.

Thank you so much for explaining about the flow and opacity stuff, you have changed my life. I think there is a similar setting called "color jitter" on Medibang - changing that setting made the brush look a lot more organic.
Usually my process of creating brushes is if I like a certain brush set an artist uses and theyre up for download, i download them. But then I change around most of the textures used and the brush setting to fit me more.

More people need to hear this. I didn't create every single one of my brushes but I did spend months tweaking them and adapting them to fit my art.
Helped me understand how brushes work in digital painting. Also made me realise how digital painting is like looking through a lens. Image is blurry at start but as you progress the details begin to standout. Thanks for the great tutorial.

Shit, this solved my life. I can believe how good it looks after those settings.
Thanks for this video dude, you are great.
The explanation of the brush size and pressure, beautiful! Thanks
I... Expected misinformation...
Exactly what I thought. Especially since he already made a video on how to makes ps brushes. Not that I'm disappointed.
says you only need one brush, has 1 million brushes saved
You need only one brush for one painting... for 1 million paintings you need 1 milion brushes then. Borodante just planned his future needs correctly.
that is so true >< i work with one or tow but downloaded the Kyle brushes from ps and still got no use of them
i think brushes shine best in background paintings .. using different "stamps" for different things in nature ... real painters (oil ) have used shortcuts for this for centuries .. they didnt paint in all the leafs individually ..

That’s one way of doing it. XD

"not every single part of a painting needs pixel sized details"

Thanks for all the videoes. They really improved my skills, and my way at looking at painting.

The title is gold.
People still believe it's the brushes that'll make the piece good
Maybe not good, but certainly more gooder...

I do both digital and traditional, so I get where you're coming from, and there's really no need to stick to a single brush if you don't like that, but irl you'd usually change the brush for size or for shape. The first is out of the question in digital, no need to change brushes for that, and sticking to a single brush or max 2 can really make painting coherent sometimes :)
you can use different brushes like sketch brush ink brush or painting brush/oil brush his word is no a law i use different brushes but he uses mostly one brush becouse of his art style and that one fits his art style i do line art on my drawings so i need different brushes but he doesnt need multiple brushes becouse he doesnt have rough lines i mean he doesnt have lines at all so its much easier for him to use only one brush it depents of what art style you have if you have artstyle like you are painting with watercolors you only need one brush maybe 2 but if you do comic style art you need multiple brushes maybe 4 or 5 to make best shit that you can make so dont be confused if he says to do what he does dont follow it if you dont have similar art style as him maybe you can get some tips out of his video if you dont have similar art style as him
@@valasafantastic1055 did you watch the video? He literally said that it's specifically for his style and not everyone's gonna do it this way, so your statement that he's flat out wrong is incorrect. And in the end this isn't really a lazy approach do to it either, it's just a more straightforward way that's easier in some situations and harder in others. He's just saying that you don't need a specific brush to create an object, and even if multiple brushes helps make a specific texture, the shape of the object itself doesn't need to rely on which brush you have.
I think he may have sounded more dogmatic than he meant to. It sounds like he was moreso touching on gimmicky brushes like brushes specifically for painting clouds or brushes that are little leaves to quickly make foliage. If not then yeah I agree that makes no sense. As long as you keep things fairly similar in its rendering it will look cohesive
This made everything feel so natural in digital painting thank you :DD
I don't agree about the 1 brush thing. The importance s not to only use 1 brush but to be consistent in the painting, you can 3 difference brushes but together not "one for this, one this other thing etc...) I don't know if it make sense. But yeah you can use a lot of brushes, it add a lot of texture to do that btw, just they have to work together in the wole painting.
This is cool, I can't wait to try it out! Might attempt to make one that's good for a painterly style.
(I just discovered this channel yesterday, really happy that I did.)
It seems logical to create custom brushes. We should all know our own style, so a brush design seems a natural result for the requirements.
Yes, the iPad Pro software can frustrating for a certain type of digital painter. I did comment back when you did the Tab 3 video that I'd be very surprised if the iPad could end up as real desktop replacement for the kind of art you do... Then again, if Paintstorm eventually finds a way to get its program to work well on iPad I might feel very differently about this.
the title spoke to me
i already know how to make my own but I like the title so i click
Wow, very clear and concise explanations. I love it. Do you mind showing us how to create a Chinese ink brush for traditional painting effects? Thanks
Nice one, I start to have a little level in digital painting mainly thanks to you and I was at a point I wanted to have this identity presonnal brushes create even if until there I used yours (and still does in some case) and this video gets out at the exact rght moment. Thanks pal !
Keep it up, your content is great and no one is as bald as you !
Heeeey I don't know why but this reminded me of a fast and furious reference from "make your own got damn popcorn". LOL Thanks for the information as well very helpful.
Wow ! This is an amazing tutorial ! Thank you, im subscribing right now !!!
This was great - thank you! I just made my first, very own brush!
It's interesting how the brush settings are basically the opposite of drawings (at least for how I would like my settings personally)... When drawings I really don't want the opacity and flow changes, but do really want the size changes, especially for the lineworks...
Dude you area a life saver, thanks!
Usually when I “asks for a brush” I ask for the shape of it looks cool or textured if looks cool, and then make my own brush with it because I like to customize my stuff … now give me your life force
Wooah... this guy is a genius.
awesome video boro !
kinda helped me to make my brush feel not as digital as before :) !
keep it up !
This is explained wonderfully, thank you!
BORO IS THE KING
THANK YOUUUUU!! Oh my gosh, super helpful!
thanks. simple and easy explanation. exactly what I needed.
This is an AWESOME video and I have to share with my friends!
I came here to say "And I thought I had a huge bald forehead." But left away with great knowledge.
@Жакман typical youtube childish jokes
thank you so much for all this information! also love the akira/gits references on your brushes hehe
tfw after an almost full day of April Fools videos you're expecting another one, but you find a pretty interesting and useful one instead. Thanks Boro! :D
your videos are life changing
Hey Dante, How can i paint details without making my brush smaller? When i decrease the size of the brush it becomes obvious that something else was implemented in the picture other that one brush.
Alrighty, will be waiting!
Affinity photo for the iPad uses both flow and opacity. Maybe irs worth a look.
It seems like you're asking about brush texture used as brush mask (procreate engine is the best example). Your texture of brush should stay the same scale while diameter of brush (so to say) becomes smaller. It makes your general strokes look made by the same tool but with its thin tail. It works in Procreate and it works as well in Painter 'cause in Painter texture is a property of canvas and is shared across all your brushes and strokes. I guess there are corresponding settings in most of professional drawing apps.
Ok now you're even a better guy, then you're before. Thanks
I'd like to actual see you draw a baby and a pie to both sides of the knight
I have been trying to make my own brush, and I don't think anyone else explained flow. It's always and you adjust your opacity and flow here. lol But ouuuuuu that is exactly what I need, thanks! Yeah and also, I have always thought that I must be stupid because most of the brush customization options are off, but phew.
One brush per painting? All other artists I follow use several. If they are properly stylized, they'll work together, too.
I’m a newbie and I used so many different brushes in my latest painting. Should try sticking to one next time.
Turned out pretty nice anyways.
love that drawing, very full metal
Tried to mimic other artists brushes! Sorry ppl, I do support as well. It’s a lot of fun & I’ve gotten some pretty close results for what I’ve done so far. Others ie. certain scanned oil or chalks are a bit trickier & worth buying from the artist if you want to heavily rely on it for your art :::)
I'm definitely staying with Krita after the new update
Even the official brushes are now awesome, thanks to David Revoy. I think I may actually use some of them.
the poop thing about this is the brush i want exactly is the one in this video. and i cant for the life of me figure to how to replicate it
Same ;__;
yas, thank you for this. I've been stupid obsessed with brushes lately...
or just use artrage which simulates traditional painting brushes very very well ;)
