Digital Art Brushes Review

Are you looking for the perfect digital art brushes for your next project? Look no further! In this review, we'll dive into some of the top-rated digital art brushes available, covering their features, pros, and cons.

Gawa G Pen (ID: 25788) - 10 Clippy Points

The Gawa G Pen is a janky pen with a rough and sharp texture, making it perfect for both sketching and line art. This versatile brush can produce both clean and sketchy line art styles, depending on your preferences. On a vector layer, the edges are sharper, while on a normal layer, the lines are more blendy. This brush is usually used for liners and not for filling in entire artworks.

Mayo Pencil (ID: 1870475) - Free

The Mayo Pencil is a free, textured, and slightly janky brush that produces a soft and pencil-like texture. This brush is not completely opaque, allowing for buildup, making it suitable for line art and sketching. However, it's not typically used for coloring.

Clip Studio Paint Pen Reviews

Pen 1: Unnamed Pen

This free-to-download pen is smooth to use and feels great. It's recommended for messy looks, sketch pages, or doodles. The pen is not 100% opaque, with a little buildup, but it's not as soft as the Mayo brush or pencil, leaning more towards the Gwa G Pen.

Pen 2: Cat Pen (ID: 1695797)

The Cat Pen is another free-to-download option, offering an alternative to the Unnamed Pen with a more ballpoint pen-like texture. It's great for messy looks, sketch pages, or doodles, and is smooth to use and feels good. Like the Unnamed Pen, it's not 100% opaque, with a little buildup.

Pen 3: Crayon Crayon When Brush Set (ID: 11997853)

This brush set costs 20 clippy points (not free) and is specifically designed for coloring. You get two brushes for the price, making it 10 clippy per brush. One brush is more textured, which is the reviewer's preferred choice. While not recommended for line art, the other brush in the set might work better for line art.

First Brush: Crayon-like Texture

The crayon-like texture brush is used for coloring and provides a unique texture that the reviewer loves. It's designed to imitate the look of a crayon.

Fifth Brush: Hatch Wind Marker

The Hatch Wind Marker (Content ID: 208215) is a free-to-download brush used specifically for coloring. It comes with two brushes: one with layered hatching that crosses over, and another with single-layer hatching. The reviewer prefers the single-layer hatching brush.

Sixth Brush: Sunday Brush

The Sunday Brush (Content ID: 1825825) is a free-to-download brush used only for coloring. It only works on non-Vector layers and has a unique effect that makes the edges of brush strokes more opaque. The reviewer has had this brush for years and highly recommends trying it out.
