Trying to recreate a brush from another Drawing App

[Nyahoja]

I have tried for the last few hours to recreate these brushes( 18 original anime hair brushes ), i bought them for the grain and shape PNG Files already. They are from procreate if i am not stupid. I got close to it but i just cant make it blend with each other at all. I tried around with gradients but it looks weird.

Anyone an idea?

Do you have screenshots of your results vs what you want?

BTW, Found this old discussion… Maybe there could be something you could use from it:

Paint with two colors at the same time

My personal recommendation would be to use GIMP to make .gih brushes because you can specify that a layer image be divided into cells for each ‘stamp’. That way you can see the stamps more easily. Krita has each stamp on a separate layer so it’s impossible to see them together as a collection on the canvas. I’ve made two dimensional .gih brushes in GIMP and in krita and I much prefer to use GIMP for it. You can make exactly the same animated brush in krita but the UI/UX at the design/build st…

I just want it to be closer to the one stroke in the 2nd picture. Or did he use one stroke and then used a mask layer for more color variation? Does the brush rotate weirdly or what, i am so confused xD

Psst, my bundle has (only a few for now) brushes like this.

You could check them out. They’re fairly simple to make, and if you turn off the “sharpness” setting, they’ll be much smoother.
