List of brushes0:34
Here you can see all brushes you may need for this tutorial! Important to remember - shapes is more important then numbers.
SHAPE: each shape of brush have own, specific type of brushstroke, so if you see exact type of brush in the tutorial - don't replace it for another type of the brush.
NUMBER: numbers are optional because its depends from your experience and size of painting surface.
If you are beginner you may like switch to the smaller brush. Small brush gives better control with less effort. But...! You will need more time to complete part of tutorial witch was done with bigger brush.
If you have experience you may prefer bigger brush, because its able to cover bigger area, paint more details in one go, so its faster to paint with it. But...! Bigger brush needs control on brush pole pressure!
