2010-11-07 brush test
Originally uploaded by SketchyBeanSpent WAY to long playing with Python tonight, so quick tool test instead of a drawing.
"Basic Round" is what I've been using most of the time. "wash" has a lot more interaction with the color that's already been placed, which is awkward for me with my background with computer tools that just "set" color. It certainly could be fun to play with, but it'll take a while to get used to.
It didn't really come through in the final image, but "broad water" is very odd. It's not a "circle that stamps down", but a line that gets dragged around. I know the text description isn't clear, but it ends up giving a "minimum turn radius" that really shows in the bottom image. And it's interesting that the pressure affects mostly brush size, with little effect on color.
New Simple Water felt like a cross between basic round & wash; still affected by existing color, but not quite as much. I'll definitely be using it in the future.
I really like how the Dry Brush came out. I can't think of a way to put it into words, it just "feels" good, but still very different from the 4 others.
