Well, i am not a big fan of Smooth paper but lately i am testing it more so…

What Do you think? It would be a good addition?

If the digital version is just as sensitive as the analog one, then it’s not for someone with such a robust handling (or poor motor skills) like me. But in principle you will always find users who search for exact that feeling.
But to be honest, right now I’m only seeing it as an addition to my stock, I always loved the harder more slick papers better.

Could be in both textures that brush ? amazing! the grain texture it always a good option too! :innocent:

Gosh, the more I see them the more I want to try them. I like the simplicity of my crappy-simple “pencil” brushes that I use, but man, yours are just such a joy to work with.

2B for fine shading and detail. A funny fact. I forgotten it was digital and could move the layer with the copy :smiley:

I hold the pencil in a very simmilar way to real pencil. I will explain later

Last for today

Smudging test

1 Mimic paper texture as we smear, so it is dependant of what texture you use

2 Mimic Stump

Now is time for Organization and Icons. The part I hate the most but truly needed.

I am tired for today. Probably it would be my best set of pencils.

The type of work a project like this needs is awesome. Too much and I think this could be the last bundle of pencils. I have used a lot of time on each step. Each Square around 8cm Required normally 5 layers to be in a good condition and some of they became useless by accidents or just a bad pressure stroke. Documenting everything is key.

Then I scan sverything to 600DPI and Each of the texture used needs to be optimized to be seamless. I explained all the process in the Digital Atelier Large bundle with videos included of my process.

Why I do all this work? because I think Krita deserve the best pencils and if you want to support this type of development consider to make a donation to Krita.

Probably they will be the last pencil brushes from me, RM. The good thing is that all the brushes included in the next bundle would settle the base for a lot of new pencils or ideas from you, the community.

They are coming… :wink:

There is not an icon to react to your post.
Maybe it’s a bit selfish of me. I´m really excited to know that there will soon be a new pencil bundle, but it’s also a little sad to know that it might be the last one of yours.
Whatever, thanks a millon for the incredible work you’ve done! Those pencils are a strong point in Krita. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Hi Ramon!
This bundle will definitely be exceptional too. I can’t wait to work with it.
A while ago, I purchased your complete Digital Atelier bundle from the Krita store to support the program and the community.
I can confirm that it’s an exceptional bundle that I use often.
So, everyone, when you can, please support the community, which, thanks to donations, allows everyone to enjoy this wonderful program and these fantastic brushes for free.
If I could give you a little advice, I’d create a section within the Krita store dedicated to professional brushes.
Apart from the Digital Atelier bundle, created by Ramon Miranda, there aren’t any others at the moment.
Of course! We already have many brushes made available for free by users on the forum, but in my humble opinion, occasionally offering a few well-made brushes for a fee could help generate a little more revenue to support and further improve this fantastic program.

Sorry for my English, I use Google Translate.

Definately these pencils can do the job. I followed this video in real time and it was really charm. I love it.

Original https://youtu.be/udnje2vmuQM?si=9swjzJeGcAYtfEyP by Carl Purcell art. I totally love this technique.

And the video explaining the bundle is almost ready. Look this beautiful cover for the final SK3. Stay tuned.

I love how Carl Purcell uses his 6B pencil as if it were charcoal. His use of the texture created by pressing the graphite hard onto the paper is fascinating. He really loves playing with strong contrasts, and in some lines, he brings to mind the ancient technique of Sumi-e (notice how he draws tree branches and trunks). Thanks for sharing this video, Ramon. We eagerly await your brush pack.
