Brushes are a very useful and important tool for digital artists. Rowan Dodds knows this and has started a project on Kickstarter that could interest many artists. Find out more about the project on Kickstarter.
Apps like Procreate for iOS are finding more and more users over the years who want to paint on their tablet. Android, unfortunately, has very little to no offerings for digital artists in the professional space, which is a shame. People have been waiting for more great apps for Android for years, but Procreate, for example, has only been developed exclusively for Apple devices. The development of brushes for artists is therefore particularly focused on Photoshop and Procreate.
As Procreate and painting software become more comprehensive, better and more complex brushes come to light. We also read a lot about the benefits of AI being used in programs that calculate brush strokes, allowing for even more complex capabilities.
You can see where this development is leading in the Kickstarter presented here. Highly complex professional brush sets are the result of this development.

christies - Beeple NFT - Everydays: the first 5000 days
Crazy times, aren’t they? Mike Winkelmann also known as Beeple has sold an NFT with a price tag of 69 million dollars. The work he sold for this price is called “Everydays – The First 5000 Days”.
NFT is currently experiencing a hype that is felt on all social networks for digital artists. But what is felt more are uncertainties and lack of clarity about what is actually going on.
Here is one of my exercises. Here you can see how i tried to paint portraits with new techniques and brushes. I still try to avoid details and still make the result look as realistic as possible. If there is one thing i have managed to achieve over the years it is the balance through a very simple painting technique.
