How the Brushes Work

Full N Streaky

Dynamic opacity with rich, streaky effects. Good for adding depth and texture in a single stroke.

Saturated N Full

Bold, deep ink coverage with smooth application. For strokes that need to stand out.

Bleeds on Rice Paper

Ink that bleeds naturally at the edges. Creates soft transitions and atmospheric effects.

Lightness Shifter

Shifts between light and dark with pressure. Good for shading and delicate tonal work.

Diluted

Lighter, more translucent strokes. Good for layering and building up tone gradually.

Light Wash

Gentle, even wash of color. Good for backgrounds and soft atmospheric touches.

Loaded N Layered Lite

Consistent, lighter ink flow for building layers without overwhelming the canvas.

Loaded N Layered

Heavy, rich ink stroke that retains intensity as you build it up.

Firm Liner

Precise, firm lines for detailed work and sharp edges. Maintains shape with varying pressure.

Patchy N Streaky

Textured strokes that appear patchy and irregular. Adds that hand-drawn feel.

Dry N Spotty

Dry, spotty effect like ink running out. Good for distressed, worn looks.

Furry

Fuzzy, soft texture for organic touches in your illustrations.

Old Ink

Faded, worn strokes that look like aged ink. Good for vintage-style work.

Grainy Charcoal

Combines charcoal texture with ink fluidity. Grainy, tactile quality.

Dry N Spikey

Sharp, spiky lines with dry brush grit.

Dry But Smooth

Smooth, dry stroke that glides across the canvas. Good for subtle detailing.

Who This Is For

Artists who appreciate traditional ink work but want to explore it digitally. Good for illustration, calligraphy, concept art, or anywhere you want expressive, fluid marks. The range from wet to dry and saturated to diluted gives you the full spectrum of ink behaviors.

Why These Are Different

I studied traditional sumi ink techniques and built these brushes to capture that feel digitally. The bleeding edges, the way diluted ink behaves differently from saturated ink, the texture of dry brush on paper. These aren't generic ink brushes. They behave the way real sumi ink behaves.
