I need help making a Brush kit/Bundle

Fantastic stuff, thank you so much for joining in and sharing :orange_heart:

In my opinion, the best way to get started is to play around with everyone’s ink brushes like Ramon’s and Gege Akutami, and play with them/their settings (Some more: Rakurri has some great ones, Aurelia too, and there are even some cool default ones like Sumi-e)

:sparkles: If you want even more reference, browse this!

The idea is to make a copy of a brush you like and use it as a template. Eventually you’ll figure out what setting-combo does the thing you want - and before you know it, that editor will be your best friend (૭ 。•̀ ᵕ •́。 )૭

The official Krita channel also has some videos explaining for making them too! (6:05 is when brush editor overview starts btw)

Finally, here’s a link to my own experimental inks (beta). I’ve used the settings to recreate things like:

  • splodgyness,
  • randomness (like accidental small spatters)
  • hard/soft edges depending on pressure,
  • size reduction when moving fast
  • and other stuff

Try using them as a template with your own brushtips and see if it’s any use for your goals :alien_monster:

✨ Extra rambling about the experimental inks

They were made in an attempt to re-create the beautiful “dye bleed” effect you see when you mix ink and water together, and paint with it. Due to this, they use a brushtip type called a “colour mask” - that’s why no matter what colour you pick, it’s always black.

They haven’t been “officially” released because I still have documentation/pretty icons to do (which takes time), but I made/used them for a commission so they are pretty solid as-is!
