Digital artists spend more time downloading and selecting brushes than actually drawing.

OP spends more time shitposting than drawing.

Ehh, not those kinds of brushes. Not many people use stamping like that. Most artists spend brush hunting time trying to find their ideal pens and pencils. Fortunately, I found mine already.

I have never ever used custom brushes in my life and never will.
>>
>>6674234
I didn't know something like this existed...
>>
>>6674234
I got like 2 brushes and the basic gpen. a paint brush using my pressure sensitivity and adjusting opacity, and the other is a square shaped blender. they came with the program. I got a few stamps and I've tried the stamps but didn't like them. they just sit on my brush bar.

I 100% spend more time buying brushes/pens and other material for traditional than I do looking for brushes on my digital work.
>>
>>6674234
I got like 14 that I use with 3 main ones but that's after a lot of trial and error. Most of them are custom downloads that I had to change over time.

I'm not afraid to admit that but to be fair like 10 of the ones I use are for very specific things.
>rock texture
>big leaf
>little leaf
>gravel texture
Etc

Why would you use a brush to draw in foliage? It's enjoyable to draw such things and outside of people with tight deadlines why rob yourself of the joy of drawing?

What are these retarded gimmick brushes lol
Anyways, I spent all my time making the brushes I want to use in Krita and MyPaint instead.
Krita's brush engine was very easy to use, picrel is something I painted with a rectangular blending scatter brush. MyPaint, though... MyPaint is a nightmare. It took me TWO HOURS to make a simple mono-size brush that would work correctly at all sizes and wouldn't disappear if I made it too small. And it took ANOTHER hour or so to make a simple HRB. The way they handle pen pressure is just the most retarded shit I've ever seen, holy shit; AND there's hardly any documentation on it either. Thankfully the tooltips in the brush editor were pretty descriptive, but wow. I can't believe several people made extensive brush packs for this program.

I think for most people who use this type of shortcut it is just about producing content the fastest.

work smarter not harder

>be robh ruppel
>only use default brushes and edit them to what you need every single time you work
>each piece is unique because you'll never be able to remake those brushes again
Pretty interesting workflow desu

>work smarter not harder
artists are only allowed to work smarter if they are able to achieve the same result as when they work harder, but in reality, it's the opposite

It's for a faster work process. Clients/bosses are assholes who doesn't care if you take your time to make a pretty fan. When they demand you make an illustration with a fan within an hour you can't waste more than 30 minutes on the fan and its details. Use your brain.
