The BEST brush for line art in Krita

hey what's up guys I do want to show you what I believe to be the best brush for line art in krita um I have a very comic bookie style so I feel like it's fitting that I chose this brush um it's this one right here uh so if you look at the title it's D close parentheses Capital Inc capital I Inc Dash four pen rough so it's this one right here it has this logo if you look for it inside the um inside the brush palettes you will find it let me look for it here right there so you have to like scroll down a bit you do want to make sure all the brushes are unlocked in krita so it's really easy now and create a five it's this button right here with the um with the box and the line the in the middle of the Box Storage resources you want to make sure all these are activated um if they're activated they're dark I'm going to deactivate one real quick this one right here if I click that it becomes lighter so that means it's deactivated so you want to make sure they're all activated so that you have access to all the default brushes um I don't really customize very many of my own brushes if you like that that's pretty awesome and I would love to see the brushes you made but I always love choosing from the defaults and I think their defaults are pretty good I do want to show you the the old brushes that I was using so this one here is the other G Pen brush that they have and you can see it has smooth edges and I think it's fine to be honest um but there's something about the rough edges of the other g-print brush that make it more appealing to me when you have these really smooth smooth brushes and you erase parts of them off like that um they'll have these like really fine edges and I think what happens with these brushes is that you have so much control over the pixels um that it almost feels like you're being a little bit too particular sometimes with the line quality I I tend to find myself wasting time with getting like the perfect line making sure it has perfect lying weight um and I think that's one of the traps of digital art is that we get really uh really particular about the quality of the line um and then I made one for animation which is basically this brush uh let's see the title of this one is uh D inc3 G Pen so the other one is D ink 4 penruff uh and this one's D Inc 3G pen now I edited it to make to create one called choke animation so um for this one I reverse engineered the uh uh the pen brush from clip Studio paint which is the same thing um as the G Pen brush here except I change the brush settings to look like this um I have the size uh pressure sensitivity for size to look like have this curve if you look at the um the original this one here ink pen three ink 3G pen and I click the brush settings the brush settings are up here by the way up at the top left right there um and it has that much steeper curve so as you can see um it starts off really small now I'm going to delete all this and I'm going to go to the brush that I find Superior which is the ink again the ink 4 pen rough so as you can see it if I zoom in here on the the edges are a little bit more coarse you can see that and I think when you draw with a real pen um you know uh real traditional art has uh sort of coarse edges even if you do use a G Pen which will get you pretty fine lines when you get really close it's going to have some roughness to it and I think that's what makes things feel more natural so if I make this pen a little bit more thin it just has a really natural feel to it and I feel like I can draw much faster with it and usually what I do when I'm drawing with a line art brush is that I use the same brush as an eraser so in krita if you use if your pen tablet has like an eraser side on the back of the pen then it will like basically switch to a different brush that you set to be an eraser but in krita if you press the E button while your brush is selected it will just turn that same brush into an eraser of itself so as you can see I'm pressing the E button and you can see this uh logo here is blinking I'm pressing e to make it uh deactivated activated and deactivated so as you can see I'm making some pretty nice lines you can practice making thick lines and thin lines and using the um shift button you can use a shift button to change the size you can also use the bracket keys I like the shift button so it's a little bit faster of course these are uh Windows commands um I don't know how many of you use create on Mac but the commands are probably going to be a little different for you so um I just really love the feel of it you know you can really you can like sketch with it but even with the sketch you know you can like clean up the lines pretty well with itself and if I show you like the same kind of drawing again I'm Gonna Keep comparing these brushes because comparison is really important like if I were to make an uh a uh eyeball if I were to go try to correct the edge of the eyeball it might take me a few Strokes to get it like nice and round the way I want it to be and I might have to like change it a little bit you know if I want to do the eye the eye um eyelash or something you know I might have to take a few Strokes to make it look just right and again with these finely controlled brushes you have a lot of control over the pixels and It ultimately is just not going to feel right um unless you take a lot of time I'd rather go fast so I'm going to go back to the brush that I like I'm gonna do the same thing here that's round enough for me and like the the line tapers off really nicely I feel like the um the built-in pressure curve is pretty pretty clean and I feel like that accomplishes the same thing and and yet you know I didn't I didn't spend nearly as much time trying to perfect the uh um lines if I try to correct it a little bit the roughness to it helps me be a little bit more generally fast Okay so I'm going to look at the brush settings again and you could see the pressure curve for the size is just a straight line from zero to 100 pretty cool and it feels natural to me it just it feels just right so that's the that's currently like I've evolved over time I used to use this one I used to use uh this one for recent prints like the Proto trigger print and then I was using this one too ink ball pin I've I know I've made a um videos about this brush before but now I primarily use this brush for sketching I don't use it for liner anymore though you could if you wanted to but definitely again the D ink 4 pen rough it's my favorite I'm gonna I might do some more time lapse videos using this brush if you guys want and it's just really awesome all right so hope you guys uh like that video hopefully you guys end up using it and let me know what you think of that brush it's really fun all right see you guys later bye
