You asked, I delivered!
This exciting pack is the result of all your requests for a brush set that doesn’t stretch when strokes are elongated. With this set you can use just one brush to create a range of stroke lengths without having to switch brushes – making drawing quicker & much more like the real thing.
Don’t just take my word for it, here’s what the designers & artists who tested the pack for me have to say about it –
“Once again The Artifex Forge has come up with an original, useful, & high quality set of tools. Using these brushes makes me wonder where they have been all my life! They make it super easy to create realistic illustrations without having to switch brushes all the time, making the process much more intuitive & the results extremely realistic. They cleverly fill a very real need, & are a must have for every illustrator!”
Alaina Jensen, Digital Resource Designer.
“Perfect Pencil Brushes offer an authentic & realistic graphite pencil look to your designs & drawings. The anti-stretch brush strokes are smooth, & the details are seamless. It is a welcome & vital addition to my brush toolbox!”
A. Laws, Digital Artist.
“These pencil brushes produce an effective, realistic pencil line, whilst having all the advantages of vector. I’ve enjoyed adapting this set to my own art style & they’ve already been a huge time saver with portfolio & client work.”
Adam Foreman – Freelance Illustrator.
“I usually find it very hard to find brushes for Illustrator that actually look like the advertised images when you use them, & usually resort to Procreate if I want to create anything very textured & hand-drawn but these Artifex brushes are perfect, they don’t stretch & go all funny-looking, they are easy to use & they are a great way to add texture to your Illustrator illustrations.”
Lucia Wilkinson – Illustrator.
How does the brush set work?
I’ve used the pattern brush feature to build brushes that repeat the same section seamlessly along the stroke. Each brush contains end tiles alongside both inner & outer corner tiles for drawing right angles. (Beware of pattern art brushes not including corner tiles as the ability to draw fluidly is seriously inhibited without them).
Taking on board customer feedback but not losing the life-like fluidity of a pencil was the real challenge. The danger when using pattern brushes for artist tools is that they lose the vitality of the source material but I’ve definitely achieved my goal with this pack.
I’ve also included some dynamic & very short brushes too so you have a brush for every purpose.
