Dry & Dirty Bundle

I posted this elsewhere too, but figured I’d stick it in here – my first attempts at sketching with these brushes. I really liked them!

Also, in case it’s helpful for others, I made these quick-and-dirty swatches for all the brushes. I just made these to refer to while I was playing around with them, so they’re not super detailed and I just numbered most of them instead of writing in brush names, etc. But hopefully they can still come in handy!

My only bit of real feedback for @clooms would be around the “Clooms dirty stamp” brush. This was one of my favorites at first, but after painting a bit with it I realized it leaves prominent white “speckles” over its texture. I’m not sure where those are coming from exactly, I haven’t messed with the settings yet to try to get rid of them.

Depending on the background and paint color, these speckles are either barely noticeable or extremely noticeable. I wound up having to paint over most of where I used this brush because of these – just too distracting/contrast-ey. Here’s a quick example (zoom in to see what I mean), though I can also share from one of my “real” tests too if that’s helpful:

Anyway, aside from this one small issue I’ve been loving these brushes! They’ve been great for sketching, great for painting, just generally great all around.

Thank you, @clooms!
