I want to know what kind of brushes do you use and if you can give me suggestions!

I want to what kind of brush do you use for sharing and making hair!! I am practicing digital art so I want to what kind of brushes you use and would also like an art tip from you.

My arts

I made all the drawings using my fingers because my stylus hasn’t been delivered yet lol.

I made this first drawing without any reference. So it’s free style.

I made this drawing by outlining my characters and bucket colouring it.

I made this drawing my outlining a character too and bucket coloured it.

Do not steal or trace any of my art. Do not claim it as your own work!

I use ibis paint x
So which brushes can I use from ibis paint x?

Thank you.

There’s a brush that’s labeled as use for drawing hair. I don’t remember what it was called but I know it has the word “hair” in it. The ends are sorta disheveled to make it look more natural, but since you’re tracing, it’s probably not the best option. Love your art btw!

Even on light pencil outlines, I use the hair brush–pretty sure that’s what it’s called-- (high opacity for dark hair and low for light hair) in a tone darker than the base shade, and then a tone lighter in another layer. Then, airbrush over it, and add another layer of light airbrush on the highlights only. Then, I go through with dip pen hard at a really small value to draw free strands along with the hair brush.

Example of a possible end result:

Don't steal; it isn't that good anyways

Honestly, I’m probably not the best person to explain. My style is described as chaotic, to say the least lmao.

I usually use flat brush line as I think it simulates strands of hair, and I also go with highlights and darker lines x

Okay so for the one realistic drawing i’ve done on ibis paint x, i distinctly remember using Dip Pen Hard for the hairline and out of place hairs, Round Brush Point for most highlights, Oil (Hard) for definition, and Hair & Hair dark to add texture. they work pretty well in combination, you just gotta be patient lol. for my cartoon styles i usually just use Dip Pen Hard ◡̈

Ikr :sob: My life story can win Guinness World Record lol

You and me both :sob::sob::sob:. While switching devices I didn’t back my ibispaintx’s data correctly. I lost some custom brushes I created they were so good, and the worst part is I lost all of my arts :sob::sob::sob:

That’s freaking bad!! :sob:
