Brush set for textured comic book inking in Clip Studio Paint
Video DEMOS
------
My name is Juan Albarran and I work as a professional inker for DC Comics (Justice League, Injustice). I work digitally on Clip Studio Paint but am a big fan of traditional art and analog art supplies as well so I developed a series of textured brushes to emulate the look of traditonal inking tools.
I tend to use very few brushes, too many options overwhelm me, so I came up with a limited set of brushes for characters, backgrounds, dry brush effect, etc. that allow me to be productive, not spend too much time experimenting and achieve a consistent inking style. I've spent several months tweaking and adjusting these brushes and I hope they can be useful to you too. If you are tired of cold digital looking inks this set may be for you.
Note that all brushes must be used on MONOCHROME layers only.

Release 1.2:
I added 3 new brushes and updated the original Main Brush.
- Main Round: Very similar to the original Main Brush with a round brush tip.
- Dry Brush 3: This has become my favorite of all three dry brushes in the set.
- Paper Texture: Very versatile, it'll add an organic touch to any drawing.
- Main Brush 2: Exactly the same as the original Main brush only now the textured size of the brush changes side depending on the direction of the line. You can now control where you want the texture without having to rotate the canvas.
