this is very overdue but making these is suchh a chore LMAO so here are my most widely used brushes with random examples of where I've used them!! these are all for clip studio paint :))
This is actually only my second favorite lineart brush but my favorite ones was deleted from the material catalog </3.. but I use this one all the time anyway lol. For this one (and just about any lineart brush really) I turn any stabilization to 0 and set it to no anti aliasing (the crunchier the better). I also turn the brush density pretty far down for this one, I just like it being more sketchy looking.
I'm kind of shocked this drawing was the only example I could find where I used this one for lines, ig I usually use it for rendering on top of the color and lineart layer. That or just for sketches. I'm just a huge fan of the texture of this I love how jank and wriggly it looks LOL. That's about all I have to say, I think I leave all settings alone on this (aside for stabilization which I always turn off)
I genuinely cannot possibly stress enough how often I use this brush. I'd die for this brush. It's so good for getting everything to look nice and textured.. The default settings for this one have color jitter on pretty high but in this case I always turn that off completely (i like it for getting down flat colors but then i practically always lock the transparency of the layer and go over it with a more textured/color jittery brush). This is also one of those brushes where the secondary color matters, I usually only use the secondary color for this because it makes it uniform, where if you use the main color there will be streaks in it of whatever is selected as the secondary one. if that makes any sense (in the photo the left example of the brush uses the secondary color, the right uses the first color with teal as the secondary color). I use it like that too, just less so. It also goes down a bit transparent and I usually try to keep it that way, because that transparency is what brings out the texture, it kind of makes everything look papery. I like 2 put down a brighter color underneath the drawing before using this brush because that brighter color peeks through and I like how it looks.
This one I looove for just filling in sections with color. The first one (chunk jitter) is my favorite because it's more sporadic and fun but they are all pretty much interchangeable. I'm pretty sure this has color jitter on by default but just in case it doesn't it is very important so that all the blocks and the texture they make are individually visible, in most cases I only ever change the hue setting in color jitter (and usually fairly low, like only 5 to 10 for these), and maybe a little bit of saturation jitter as well, but I usually neverr change the luminosity, this brush is like.. the only exception.
these are the color jitter settings I have for the first one just for an example, if you download these you should play around with it urself because I'm always changing these lol.
This one I have very little to say about but she is very beloved to me. You can probably find this brush in almost every single drawing I've posted on here LOL I realllyyy love throwing it in for a little bit of fun texture. As per usual I turn the anti aliasing to the lowest option and I turn stabilization off, but this is really just for fun accents so that's not even that important.
And last but not least my best friend in the whole world. Default charcoal brush. In my older drawings I often used this to color everything in general, but nowadays I usually use it on a low opacity to put textured gradients down on already flat colors, or for blushing and whatnot. Anytime you see that super crunchy grainy texture.. that's her.. This is one of those cases where I think color jitter is like essential to making it look the way it does, because if it's just flat you can't really see any of the texture. Here are my current color jitter settings for it, but I change them all the time depending on what I want to use it for.
Yeah that's just about all my main brushes. I don't use these like exclusively or anything, I switch it up a lot and play around a lot. This is kind of why it's hard for me to make rendering tutorials or anything like that because it's usually different every time LOL.. I hope this is helpful anyways. Also if you don't have clip studio and your looking for similar brushes, all the brushes I download are generally ones that look super rough and janky and textured, and ones that try to replicate traditional pencils and paints and whatnot. So look for ones like that! That's the only advice I have on that front because I really only ever use csp. Also from now on when I am asked about brushes I will just link to this post, so I'm going to tag it as an ask for anyone who may be looking.
