Hello everyone!
I want to share something with you that I've been working on for a while.
This is my new, very limited brush set that I've been developing and using on all of my recent paintings (including the piece attached above).
I'm really happy with how it works and I've found my best paintings are done with it.
There's only a few brushes because I find this keeps the style consistent and seamless, and unburdened by textures in an era of texture-heavy digital paintings.
So what's FAAFO? Fuck Around And Find Out.
It originally came because I wanted a pack to start expressive, and then lock in colors and values after.
The Fuck Around brush is for using large and blocking out big shapes expressively.
The Find Out brush is for hitting smaller values and tones confidently.
The Find Out (darker values) brush is because, occasionally the Find Out brush doesn't look too good in dark areas. This is an alternative you can use in this situation.
And the last is a humble but extremely useful pencil! I made it because I wasn't very happy with any pencil I've found up to this point. It's not overcomplicated or grain-heavy, and intended to be used small and thin.
I'm really happy with this new brush set and plan to be using it almost exclusively for the future, so I hope you will all enjoy it to.
If I receive positive feedback on it, I'll look into developing it in Photoshop!
