The advantage of this is that you can cover big areas of your canvas with low geometry - even lower if you turn up the 'simplify' value in the brush's post-processing settings. lots of layering! I use fill layers at varying opacities, some with gradients, and just 'glaze' on colour. You can get my stamp brushes here (as well as my ink brushes, and I used the 'Old leaky' for all the lineart in this piece)Īnd 2.

Here is the image but JUST the stamps showing (the grass stamps in the background are masked so that they don't show up in the body of the dog) Textured brushes can be very demanding on a computer, but this kind of stamp brush allows you to get beautiful textures while using minimal geometry. add traditional stamps! I made grease pencil brushes that create a single textured dot. My process for getting a painterly style with grease pencil is toġ. Here is a little timelapse of my painting process: (And actually, NOW, going back to 'typical' drawing programs like photoshop and procreate and NOT being able to modify a stroke is so frustrating!) It's been a frustrating learning curve, no question, but being able to make strokes and then modify them endlessly - in edit mode, with sculpt tools, changing the material and colour, subdividing and simplifying - it just makes so much sense in my brain. There's something about painting with grease pencil that's so fun to me.
