There’s a good clear video on how to make your own brushes for Sketchbook, and a comics pro shares his inking brushes settings. That’s it, that’s all I could find that proved to work. So for others who may hanker after a few more Sketchbook brushes, here’s my little survey of some of the free brush set addons… Many have noted that Autodesk Sketchbook‘s brush range is paltry on its desktop PC version - compared to the iPad version or to the oceans of custom brushes available for Adobe Photoshop.
Just choose the Windows 7 drivers for it, and they work fine… So I blew the dust off it, and found there are 64-bit drivers for it that work on Windows 8.1.
I’d forgotten I’d got the 6″ x 9″ (effective) USB version. I was spurred into thinking about 2D sketch/paint software by finding my old Wacom Intuos 2 pressure-sensitive pad and stylus in a drawer. And it arguably has better brushes, provided you don’t want thick glistening wet gloopy oils. It’s not Photoshop either, but it’s much nicer to learn and use than Painter. So I’m taking another look at Autodesk Sketchbook (which you can currently pick up on Amazon UK for a mere £20 ). And yet I find that Photoshop, near-perfect as it is, just doesn’t make for a natural sketching application - no matter how many nicely-tweaked custom brushes I load into it. Should I install that old version of Painter, perhaps? I always wanted to like Painter, the natural media painting software. In the dialog that appears, locate and select the icons you want to bring into SketchBook, then tap Open.I’m six months in with my new PC, and it’s time to install some of the bits and pieces that were not absolutely vital back in a chilly early January. Only PNG, JPG, and TIFF images can be imported as brush icons. Tap the icon next to the brush name to open a menu of icons. With a brush selected, tap to open Brush Properties. Once you have created an icon (see the recommended size and format above), the next step is assigning it to a brush. Importing brush icons in SketchBook Pro Desktop Supported image format: PNG, JPG, or TIFF.If the image size is smaller than the recommended, its size won’t change.If the image size is larger than the recommended, it will be scaled down to the recommended.Recommended size: 40 x 40 for LD and 80 x 80 for HD.
Here are some things to know when creating brush icons: In Brush Properties > Advanced tab, scroll down to Texture and capture the texture stamp. You can also create a brush icon by capturing the stamp of a brush, if this functionality is supported in your version of SketchBook.
