#the fur brush from clip studio is great for crunchy paint lines as well as fur and short hair

So I have to say that the texture on your art is just *chef's kiss* and I have to 100% ask what brushes you use cause whatever it is just makes me wanna chomp your art it's so good.

Thank you (and sorry for the VERY late reply)!!

So, when I was still using Photoshop, my main inking brush was Stumpy Pencil from here: https://stumpypencil.blogspot.com/2009/11/return-of-stumpy-pencil.html I use the Pencil: Stumpy 6 pt. for basically everything. :P

As for color and texture, I BELIEVE most of my brushes came from Charlie Bowater (free, here: https://charliebowater.gumroad.com/l/BoiJD) and Kyle T. Webster (uuuuh I'm not sure which set exactly anymore, though I've had good experience with everything I've used so a good ol' Google search should get you pointed in the right direction)! There are a few others as well, I think, but I've just been transferring all my brushes from install to install and I nnnnno longer recall from whom they came, I'm so sorry 😢Maybe Algenpfleger?

These days, I use Clip Studio primarily, so it's a different story--I've had to make a few myself (I had to recreate Stumpy Pencil, for instance, to my endless sorrow), and I'm not sssure how to share those or if I even can in a couple cases since I was grabbing old brush shapes, but I have gotten these brushes from the Clip Studio Assets, and I've messed around with most of these and liked them!

Hope that helps! 🖤

May I ask what plataform and brushes you use?? :0

Also your art is so cute omgg!! 💜✨✨

thank you so much aaaa!!!

i use clip studio paint ex and pro (i have pro on my pc, ex on my ipad) :- ) i use a handful of brushes from the CSP asset store! they're all free

for lineart, shading and rendering, i use the SU cream pencil by yuriki! it's my go-to brush for basically everything, it has a little texture around it and if you press softer with a bigger size it's great for rendering!! i don't like my paintings super smooth so it's nice for that crunch

i also like to use clip studio's paint and apply brush to soften my hard edges when i'm shading! this one's a default, i've just tweaked the setting a little bit so it's less soft

this one's a more recent find that was recommended to me, but for more sketchy stuff i use the crunchy pen by moonimews ! it's become my go-to as well for the sketching phase, it has a subtle line texture around it, it's also become my brush for laying down flat colors :-) for furry characters specially i like using it when laying down markings, makes it look more organic and fur-like

for background rendering and texturing, i use this set, 厚塗りブラシセット by ×ェ× (roughly translates to thick paint brush set, i think) it has SOOO many good texture brushes that really helped spice up my backgrounds and also painting in general

lastly, i also use juls oil brushes by júlia maslová! i use these both for laying down rough colors and rendering backgrounds, i think it's my favourite brush set because it also has a rake brush (swatch taken from the brush page!)
