How these brushes are different Most pencil brushes use opacity and flow to determine the strength of their mark making and density. Texture is often an afterthought and feels tacked on. My real pencil brushes have locked opacity. They use a painstainkingly tweaked combinations of texture and flow settings to create the most realistic marks possible through a range of real pencil hardnesses.
Press hard and more tooth fills in for a more opaque stroke. Press light and the stroke shows more paper. Use a harder pencil lead and it will be, well, harder to fill in the paper’s virtual tooth. Use a softer lead and the tooth fills in more readily.
I use these brushes for almost all of my Photoshop sketching and have included new “real” style red and blue layout pencil variants as well as my more artificial, digital pencil brushes as a bonus. All of this for less than the cost of a real pack of sketching pencils!
I can’t wait to see what you make with them!

I’m iterating on my prior Photoshop inking brushes and am making some ground.
Using a combination of flow, texture, roundness, size, and dual brush settings, I can get an inker that is significantly more controllable. I’m not interesting in making the billionth paint or natural media brush set. There are plenty. I’m trying to make Photoshop ink cleanly digitally and that’s not an easy task.
In Manga Studio 4 or 5, this would merely be acceptable performance, but, in Photoshop, this is some normally impossible shit.
Dear Adobe, make a better brush engine with bespoke pressure curve refinement for independent variables.
I’m so happy that so many are using and digging my tools. It’s really goddamn neat to see the response!

@seirx @lartist I bought both @frenden’s PS and MS5 brushes and they are amaze. Been using them about 3-4 weeks.
Thanks to your crazy enthusiasm, my Photoshop brushes are the number one search result for “inking brushes photoshop” on Google.
Coincidentally, today is the last day of introductory pricing on my Manga Studio 4 inking and natural media brushes. If you were on the fence, now’s a good time to nab ‘em.
They’ll be going up to their regular price of $4.99 this evening.
