One EYE three BRUSHES

People often ask me what brush I use when painting digital, expecting I use something really fancy. It doesn't really matter that much what kind of brush you use actually. It is all about personal preference!

I painted one eye with three different brushes (in Photoshop CS5) to show the difference between them. Not much right?
When painting I prefer using a simple round brush with slightly ragged edges (a bit like a chalk brush) and I blend by using a soft round brush and picking up colors with the eyedropper tool.

Hard round brush

The first brush I used was the hard round brush. This brush is perfect when painting details and when you want crips lines. Blending with it is a bit harder do, but it can definately be done.

Soft round brush

The next brush is the soft round brush. Like I said, this brush is great for blending, but painting details is a bit harder. It can be done if you decrease the brush size though. Overall this brush gives a more soft look.

Chalk brush

The chalk brush is fun to use and gives a more rough look. I still prefer using round brushes though. But that is my personal preference :)

What is your favorite brush?
