Sadly you do need to draw over it a few times to get a somewhat opaque look. I don't use this one often but when I do it has a cool affect. This brush specifically is "Gorey" (I use it for blood sometimes, though grainy seems to of taken over that role), which is great for backgrounds that have trees and or clouds! or anything you think it'd work on. Here's some examples on how that works.įunfact: I use Grainy for blood as well, and it looks realistic and blends super nicely. now why is my sketch brush the grainy brush? because it gives me chalky/pencil vibes that "sketchy" can't really do, however "sketchy" is good for lineart that isn't flat/opaque and varies opacity based on pressure. These are the brushes I use for sketching and lineart! Sometimes my sketches will use "Grainy" more than "Sketchy". It blends much better so it works well for color transitions when painting/coloring. (4) Then, use the finger tip pen and blur pen to. (3) On the same layer, use the thick paint pen to paint darker colors. In contrast to watercolor painting, avoid leaving any white parts.

This is good for shading, blending, soft additions to backgrounds or filtering, etc. Clip Studio Paint pen/brush settings SAI pen/brush settings. "Brush" was a recent one I made so I never gave it a proper name. Why is it called metal? no idea, I used it for metal but repurposed it. "Metal" brush is a more opaque brush that's great for doing the flat colours with some blendy variation, and broader area's without having to press to hard or having to draw over it plenty of times. These two brushes are used specifically for coloring, shading, and even background painting!
