from the thumbnail, that piece of hair swaying infront of her face makes it seem like she has a mustache

>implying i did't see the dry brushes

>>2301058
did you finally stop using textured brushes? theres a different feel to it.

>>2300835
edges. you have areas that are sharp when they should be soft and vice versa.

>>2300828
Navigator.

>>2300271
literally, completely pointless.

>>2299807
work on edges and values.

>>2298452
ye, you gata change sensitivity for flow.

>>2298592
oh wow holy shit that thing is fucked

>>2297771
theyre floating

>>2296731
paint opaquely. Christ this is horrifying.

>>2297605
work more opaquely

>>2297487
not really trying to fiddle with them, trying to understand them.

i like your take on this, I'm actually still figuring out how to paint with opacity. theres better use of opacity through the jitter being spaced than to actually have it at 0%. looked through some of ruans stuff and he hardly has brushes with opacity set to 0%, so in any case your claim is pretty spot on.

also, i do agree that there should be some kind of thread like this, but less about ruan and more about technical ability and shit(studying more than one artist)

>>2296710
oh, i did't see the website at the bottom. i assume it was some random person that wrote that.

>>2296681
one problem. ruan doesnt use that many brushes to achieve that effect in one area.

>>2296577
control edges and values.

>>2294585
does that include you?

>>2294113
>>2294111
oh woah holy shit, different options available through mixer brush. i wonder if this is how craig got those sick brush effects.

>>2294111
yeye, its not only that though imma try out some more shit since i just only recently figured this stuff out.

i can clarify some things up with opacity and flow

Flow allows the user a more loose control of the stroke than with opacity. Opacity your strokes have to be opaque otherwise they will create blocky overlaps making those overlaps a paint to cover up or blend. if you want some nice textures when painting with opacity, turn on dual brush and change the spacing on the second brush. put a hard stroke down on the canvas and lift the pen to give it that full effect. using both brushes seperately can make some effects.

also you may realize that i have no shape dynamics enabled and pressure sensitivity is off on the main bar, it just makes it easier to paint strokes. you can still experiment with shape dynamics tho.

>>2293811
nono
>>2293470
try those settings with opacity and flow set to 100 in your mainbar

thinking of the black thing being some kind of monster
