Create: New endeavors require new ways of working. After years in the graphic design and tech worlds, Paul du Coudray decided to change direction by rekindling his love for drawing comics and illustrating stories.
While Adobe Photoshop CC was his graphic design go-to, du Coudray wasn't sure how it would fit his breezy, whimsical illustration style. Then he discovered the digital brushes of Kyle T. Webster.

This is really cool! I used to do far far more digital drawings than I do now, and I think the reason why I sort of stopped doing a lot of art digitally is because of the fact that it's quite difficult to capture those kinds of textures that fine arts gives you. The organic brush stokes, the ability to sketch and gain different pressure and pull with each drag. I love doing illustration work and these custom brushes sound like the perfect excuse to start messing around again on the computer. I completely understand the advantages of creating this type of art digitally-- it not only saves you money on material costs, but it also saves you time and mental anguish! If you put down some paint my accident or decide after that you didn't like it, it's much easier knowing that you can just delete the previous action. I also think that doing digital art gives one some sort of creative cushion-- you will be more willing to iterate and test things out because you know that if you do something you don't like and that you just want to experiment, there are no consequences. I can also see the other side of the argument, that sometimes in art, the best products come out of mistakes and learning how to deal with them and incorporate them into the final piece. In conclusion, I think that these custom brush sets really mimic the look of a real watercolor painting, and I'm really interested in looking into purchasing them.
