Someone was asking if I had colored pencils.

IroEnpitsuP 2022 leans a little towards a stiff, waxy pencil on smooth paper. QuackwellP and IroEnpitsuP Side goes the other direction.

(QuackwellP is set to Multiply by default, but you can change it to Normal so it acts more like a colored pencil)

SmudgepitsuP is a good complement smudger for them.

These are all part of the EnpitsuP set: https://ko-fi.com/s/38b435014c

Hey, I was wondering if you have a brush recommendation for CSP brushes for Lineart with good line weight? I'm trying to improve the weight of my lines, but I'm having a hard time finding brushes with the flexibility I'm looking for

That's a good question. There are all sorts of ways line weight is used and the right brush is different for each genre and style of drawing, I'd say.

To start: A lot of my lineart brushes are adjusted with slightly LESS brush size dynamics because I always felt like the original default CSP brushes (like the Mapping Pen and G-Pen) gave an unrealistic and uncontrollable amount just based on the their pressure settings.

Some people do use them well for specific styles, so they're not inherently bad. But I definitely think they're not friendly to beginners or people who just wanna pick up a pen and go draw rather than obsess over the precise way they're pushing down on their pen.

More recent versions of Clip Studio Paint actually came with some new default brushes, including "Real G-Pen", which had pressure settings that felt more right to me. But it's a little noisy so its uses are a bit more specific.

I have a brush set included with EnpitsuP called Superclean Linework. Those are the ones I designed as cleanup brushes for anime-ish looking art. They come in several flavors: Densy, Softie, Smoothy, Sang. I varied them based on how I saw different artists preferred their lines: a bit on the sharp side? Slightly blurry? With a little bit of opacity fade? A little more line variation? Among these, Sang has the largest amount of size response.

Ultimately, it may be a little bit of both a subjective experience and depend on what your hand/tablet/driver settings/style preferences are like. If you're having trouble finding a brush for this purpose, I think you should hone in on if you're not finding the right brush because every brush seemed too difficult to control, or you can't seem to get results you like, or you can't find one with a feel that matches the physical tool you're used to.

I think it's also worth noting that some artist's styles also rely a lot on them just changing their brush size setting depending on what part they're drawing. So you may end up needing a brush that has less pressure-size variation than you expect. My recommendation is always to look very closely when learning from someone else's linework example. Try to achieve it yourself side-by-side and see where it doesn't quite match up and ask yourself why. Or ask others why.

Of course, there are a bunch of other "lineweighty" brushes too outside of this genre of mostly-thin lineart.

I'm still fixing some stuff.

This isn't how I meant for this to work but maybe I'll just keep it this way?

I submitted this free app to the Windows Store/Microsoft Store.

It's a GIF viewer. It lets you take a close look at them.

You can search for "gif enjoyer" on the Windows Store/Microsoft Store app. It's the one with the icon that looks like this:

I'm still updating it with a few more stuff but it takes a few days for the store to approve some updates. I'd like to keep the app simple and focused on what it does though.

Hello Pharan ! Got your KRUPUK set , great brushes ! I'm looking for a brush called "Turnip Detail Dense" Is it in the EnpitsuP pack ?

Also as a Greek I feel represented with the tzatziki and tahini brushes 😎

I'm glad you liked Krupuk!

Turnip Detail Dense and the other turnip painting brushes are part of my old Radish Soup set. I've actually marked it as retired but some people still use it so I just keep it included.

It's part of the Tapioca digital painting pack. It's a separate file labeled Radish Soup (2019). (If you got Tapioca on gumroad, Radish Soup is in the "Retired Brushes" subfolder.)

---

tzatziki and tahini are really good though

I had to make this diagram for someone. I figured I might as well use it for Krupuk tips.

But it's pretty basic and works with any semi-transparent brush.

Achieving both soft color blending and a markery paper texture isn't super straightforward in Clip Studio Paint so this is one of several options you have to achieve it.

Krupuk Chisel is part of my Krupuk Markers and Water brush pack. You can find it in my shop here: https://ko-fi.com/pharanbrush/shop

KureyonP was updated.

I accidentally left the [Blend brush tips with darken] checkbox checked on the original version of KureyonP.

This didn't affect it when it had [Color mixing] on since CSP automatically disabled [Blend brush tips with darken] whenever there's color mixing.

But I figured it would be a rather common use case to disable Color mixing, so I fixed it and updated it in the BorupenP Plus set file.

This is a pretty simple fix so if you'd rather not redownload the BorupenP Plus file just for the KureyonP update, you can just disable [Blend brush tips with darken] yourself. Note that you have to disable [Color mixing] first so the checkbox will respond to clicks.
