Firealpaca lineart brushes11/14/2023 ![]() ![]() To avoid this, use the 'curve' and 'line' tools in the shapes box for lineart. Using those tools instead of the brushes keeps the white border from showing up when filling in the image. This is because, when zoomed in, you find that the preset brushes leave tiny, lighter pixels around the actual color, which is why the fill bucket leaves the white border as it's technically already colored. The curve and line tools don't do this, which is why they're better for lineart. They also leave much cleaner lineart than the brushes, so it's a double win.ĭeleting Sketches- This is a trick that not a lot of people know, so I shall bestow this wisdom upon all of you. You CAN sketch in MS Paint and add lineart.ġ. Use a 'colorful' color I recommend one of the blues.Ģ. If you color your lineart beforehand this will not work.ģ. Go up into the tools tap, go to the 'select' part, and click select. Right click on your image and select 'inverse colors'.Ĩ. If done correctly, your sketch would be gone but your lineart will be good and sound! Click 'color' instead of black and white. Lineart Thickness- With Firealpaca, you can change the brush size to whatever you want. ![]() However, if you tend to use rather thin lines for lineart, instead of pen scoll down in the brushes tab until you find the 'Analog (c)Hiroki Ugawa)' brush. Use that instead of the pen for 1-3 size brush lineart as the pen at that size leaves considerable gaps and is a hassle to work with. ![]() If it looks weird the first time you use it, mess with the ink factor until it's how you like it.įillbucket Tip- When using the fillbucket tool, you can go to the top and click the 'expand pixel' to keep the white border from showing up. However, I have found that with Firealpaca, the color bleeds outside the lineart when using expand pixel. To keep this from happening, click the wand tool on the side (the stick with the explody thing on top of it) and click outside the lineart, not inside. Go to the top where the tabs are and click the 'select' tab and click inverse so the selected area is the lineart and the inside of the lineart. Use a layer under the lineart and fill the areas you want in. ![]() The select automatically deletes the bled color so you won't have to go back in later to clean it up. Have a clean layer section- not really a tip but more of a major convenience, keep your layers in separate folders- a sketch folder, a lineart folder, and a shading folder. Keeping these layers separate is helpful in the long run as you can easily find a layer you need to edit, otherwise you'd be like unorganized Consti and rapidly clicking on each layer to find which has the shading that needs to be edited or deleted.With the invention of digital illustration applications, being an artist has become a lot easier. These applications come with accessories to aid drawing, painting, and modeling just like the traditional art methods. One basic accessory is the brush palette.Īll digital applications are built with their own brush preset and engine which makes their brush tools peculiar to them. However, new brushes can be created and added to the palette. These new brushes may or may not be customized for a particular software, that is, they may be downloaded and used on only one or a range of applications depending on the file type.įor the sake of this piece, we would be considering brushes that work with one of the most versatile art applications Firealpaca (although a couple of them are compatible with other applications). These brushes have been designed by a number of artists on DeviantArt and are currently free for download. Also, these set of brushes are particularly designed for painting hair and fur but may also prove effective in painting other elements like grass and feather. That said, let’s explore the world of brushes. ![]()
