What a scientific approach!
Really good & useful for anyone using verve.
To be honest, I don’t use 3,4,5
1 & 6 sometimes, mostly when I need circles, even though #6 gives a very nice & fine line.
This stipples thing on 6 is very cool.
Didn’t know it, or maybe forgot.
Pud lately asked for this and I made image brushes to solve this
For me, brush #9 is the one I am starting most paintings with.
It can do almost everything, from fine lines to wide strokes & hair.
On big brush sizes an strong canvas settings it’s very thin though, in this cases #2 does a much better job.
Same if you one to make thick strokes. For dots, stars etc. with a few bristles and smal bristle size it’s brilliant as well.
Best with locking tilt...?...is it tilt?....with hot key “a”.
Brush 2&9 do the major job.
Brilliant brush #8 for special effects, terrain, trees.
Brush 0 for image painting.
7 can be a help for doing mountain silhouettes I.e.
2-5 and 7+8 can have stutter issues. Turning high speed on top right corner and slower strokes can help.
Practise and research will help - as always.
Look at the firework challenge and you’ll find interesting effects done with existing brushes I.e.
