hi! if you don't mind me asking, what program/s and brushes do you use for your art? 🥰💗

Hii! I use IbisPaint X (cos I'm broke and own an android hehe) but its the best app I've tried so far. I used to use medibang but since moving to Ibis my art has increased SO MUCH in quality.

As for brushes...

This is the brush I use for my sketching. It's rough enough that I can play around with stuff but not too rough that it's difficult to tell where each line is.

I like to use this brush for my lineart. It's smooth, easy to use and also gives a very 'fine liner' look to my art. Its also helpful because I have to do my drawings on my phone with my finger, so I do sometimes have to sacrifice ease of use over how it looks. Just make sure you have your stability turned up and 'force fade' is on (I forgot to turn it on for the screenshot lol)

I use a very basic brush for my flat colours. Again, ease of use over how it looks, but I don't think it's too big of a sacrifice to make. I like my flat colours to be very solid looking, like a layer of paint.

As for the shading, I use this blending brush that can be downloaded from the IbisPaint Online (I'll provide the link to the brush at the bottom.) I like my rendering style to be rather watercolour like and free, I don't particularly like to adhere to many neatness rules when shading. I just plop some colour where I like and see how it looks.

I use this particular airbrush for things like blush, lighting, glow of fire etc. It's subtle enough that I can add it to the piece in as many layers as needed while still easy and quick to use. In this particular drawing I just use it to add some light colouring to her cheeks, in other drawings you'll see it being used far more copiously. (I.e every time I draw wylan lmao)

And we're done! When it comes to backgrounds and stuff I'm very much NOT consistent with what I use, it normally tends to vary based on my mood, the drawing and how lazy I am hehe.

But I hope this is helpful and do let me know if you have any more questions! ♡♡
