Joke aside, the reason you think it become easier was because you've been painting with the hard round brush forcing you to block in forms instead of pillow shading.

it's easier because I can't create gradations with the hard round

give it a week and look back at this drawing, you got novelty eyes

honestly, it's better than my hard round stuff. im not claiming im a good painter, just that having a brush that lets you make both soft and hard edges is useful for an unobstructed painting experience

>>7039567
Use hard square

[Anonymous No.7039719]

yeah that hard round thing is retarded

[Anonymous No.7039722]

>>7039567
hard round has no dynamism to it, any even slightly textured brush will immediately look better without necessarily making your work better

[Anonymous No.7039727]

>>7039567
nobody ever asked you to paint with a hard round. Hard round is for drawing. Hard Flat is for painting

HRB was always a fucking meme and if you fell for it you are insanely gullible. Even trad artists had preferred brush/pen types

[Anonymous No.7039764]

>>7039567
It's training wheels for people who can't block values without making a confusing mush not even themselves understand.

why don't you paint with the tip of your cock in acrylic then? no excuses, art is about taking the hardest most roundabout way to your desired result after all

Not training wheels, weighted clothing. Op just had his Goku or Rock lee moment taking them off.

Hardest? Since when, it's much easier than dealing with oils

Who said you can't use opacity with Hard Round.

[Anonymous No.7039941]

It honestly doesn't look like a significant change, if your stuff doesn't look right, there's always something else to point at rather than the brush itself, your values, edges aren't consistent and the rendering of form needs an understanding of anatomy to be fully utilized, those are fundamentals, you can solve this with a HRB. You can actually go and pick the HRB without the opacity jitter to get clean and firm edges, then soften them accordingly, any other brush you pick is either to serve a specific or a multiple series of needs for your painting, or sometimes the brush feels familiar to traditional medium or is flexible for sketching and rendering, like a marker type brush, but a lot of them share a lot of similarities with the capabilities of a regular HRB.
The simple fix here is to balance between a brush that you're comfortable with then expand with other different brushes based on what kind of paintings you want to create, something like a mixer brush is really handy and overlooked for how much it can push into trad territory while having the flexibility of customizing it on a digital medium.
If you want to test, get some brush packs and try them rendering simple spheres and see if you like what the brush is doing, you can also combine them or do abstract marks and shapes, watch this:

Obviously, don't overlook fundamentals, there are courses and free videos covering these subjects, work on it gradually while experimenting with your brushes.

I only use hard brushes and it's completely possible. Keep practicing, dude :)

[Anonymous No.7040947]

Use whatever is easy for you, you want to busy drawing not fighting your tools.

isn't this soft round?

[Anonymous No.7041187]

>>7040046
that shadow makes no sense for the hat you dipshit lmao. you havee the shadow blasting at him directly from the side instead of from above where it would have a cast shadow from the hat, right now its just a cast shadow from the face. holy fuck youre dumb.
