hi guys and welcome to EverydayIdraw.
Today I wanted to show you the basic set,
that is consistent of three brushes, that
I use constantly and mostly exclusively,
to create all of my pictures lately. I'm
not saying, that you are not allowed to
use any other brushes, but for me now
the tendency is that, I try to go more
limited, I would say, to make my work more
efficient. As you can see here, I have a
list of brushes, that I use. And I clean
it up all the time deleting ones, that
I don't really need. We will go over 3
basic brushes, that cover 99% of my
drawing needs. I would like to start with
a hard diamond shaped brush. it's pretty
straight forward and I've listed settings
for you on the screen. This one doesn't
have any transfer or soft edges. This is
the brush, that I use to create my
sketches mostly. I prefer to use this one,
because it creates a very defined line.
So even if you have a more sketchy
sketch with a lot of tiny lines, you are
still going to clear this one up. And
when you have a clear sketch in a clear
line art, it's so much more easier to
render over such a sketch. I usually
create the first line art using this
brush. It's pretty messy. You know, just
basic thumbnail sketches. Most of the
times you cannot really tell anything
from them. But when I draw them, I see a
final picture in them. I guess, this is
the same for everyone. And then I just
lower the opacity of the layer with a
messy sketchy sketch. And I would go over
it with my diamond shaped brush, several
times. Important tip here is to use
eraser set to the same brush, that you
are using right now. So this is basically
the same diamond shaped brush. And then
I would just make my line art. I would go
over maybe two to three times, to
create more specific and clear one.
This is basically it. So this is the
brush, that is the best for sketches.
Second one is the brush, that I use the
most. I love it a lot. It's just a
normal brush from a very basic Photoshop
brush set. I guess, it's called semi-hard
brush... I don't really know. The important
thing here, is that this brush has a
softer edges. It has a transfer, and also
it reacts on pen pressure. So when you
press harder, the color will be more
intense. So in this case it will be more
black. And if you press lighter, it will
go more into gray-ish tone. I use this brush
for basically almost everything.
Sometimes I even draw sketches with this
brush, just because I love it so much.
Another important tip, that I use a lot,
is to lower the opacity of your brush
using numbers on your keyboard. So, if you
don't know that, when you press numbers
like 1 2 3 4 5 bla bla bla on your
keyboard with your brush active, it
actually lowers the opacity. So when you
press 1, the opacity of your brush will
be 10% and so on. And if you want to put
the opacity on 100%, you press 0. So I use
this a lot during the drawing process.
I change the opacity all the time, because
it helps me to control tone more. And
sometimes I just don't need this bold
color, that covers everything up. And the
last brush that I'm about to show you, is
probably the most perfect soft brush.
Again it is created using photoshop
normal brush, soft brush,
round one. But it has transfer and
smoothing set. I got this brush on a
"Skills up" course, as a brush set, that we
were using during the course. And links
to this course and to the school will be
listed down below. And I find it to be
the most perfect soft brush. I usually
exclusively use this for shading and
creating soft gradients.
It's amazing, you guys. It's just...
The settings are so perfect, but I cannot
really change anything, it's just so good.
To show you how this work, I've decided
to render just very primitive figures.
So you can see, I start with a round soft
brush, to make the shades, to create like
the soft gradients. And then I go over
with a semi hard brush, to create texture,
to, you know, maybe this metal ball was
squished a little bit, used a little
bit, so the surface is not perfect. Then
I would go over with a soft brush again.
One thing, that I would use to create
texture, either layer settings, or brush
settings. Here I wanted to show the
texture of metal, shiny metal on my metal
ball. So I've set my brush to color dodge,
just to draw this shiny part. But other
times I just work with my brush set on
"normal". And most of the time the round
brush is set up to 100% opacity. When
I do textures using my semi-hard brush,
then I would change opacity from time to
time. And this is basically how my
working thinking process goes. I know,
I did not render these things perfect, but,
you know, just bear with me. I wanted to
show you how amazingly these three
brushes work together. And they
actually help you to create any texture,
you might want. Also one thing, that I use
as well, when I try to create a texture
in my color pictures, is, again, the brush
opacity, I would... For example I need to
draw something in this shiny blue color.
I would cover it up with an opposite
color. Reddish orange, in my case. And then
I would set the opacity of my brush to
maybe thirty to forty percent. And
I start to cover opposite color with my
main color, that I need. This way it
creates this amazingly, you know, this a
little bit rustic texture. And I'm just,...
I'm just loving this.
I don't know. Lately I've been using it
in all the drawings, that I'm creating. Just
SO GOOD! So, yeah guys. Please share your
favorite brushes, that you using in
Photoshop in the comments down below
If you have any other questions, please
ask them. I would be happy to make
another video. This one was actually
inspired by the question from one of my
patrons, Olga. Thank you so much! I've
enjoyed creating this video a lot. If you
like my project, please support me on
Patreon. You can get my PSD in layers,
and secret talking drawing sessions, and
newsletter/podcast, and a lot more.
So, I hope to see you there guys. And please
subscribe to this channel. Give it
thumbs up, or,... I don't know, I'm not your
boss. So have a nice week, guys and I'll
see you later. Bye!
