#im operating on not even a full brain cell rn so who knows

may i ask what brush u use for ur art? whatever it is i need to eat it

ahh it depends!!! i alternate constantly because i always change my mind on what i like in the moment but !! my general rule of thumb is to just pick some random brush with fun textures/edges (or find some to download) and then just screw around with the blender settings til i find something i like, ie:

overall i tend to prefer brushes thatre labeled as oil pastels/pencils/charcoals etc. basically just brushes that try to mimic real textures irl. because ironically, in my experience, the uneven gritty textures that come with these types tend to make colors blend more smoothly than the brushes that are actually smooth and round in shape. if that makes sense?

(but also pen pressure is sooo important. i need to be able to choose how strongly a color shows up based on how hard i press the pen because thats what truly allows for the kind of soft corrections needed to properly blend colors together)

however!! where brushes fail i always always add layers of paper/sand as overlays to the entire drawing because it gives it that papery/canvas feel that i so love :-)
