![]() The showcase sections in the back are nice as well, because you get to see how the images come together step-by-step and get insight into the artist’s thoughts. The Handbook is nice to have too, especially if you want tips and tricks for painting skin, fabric, metal, and other special effects. The fact that they also work for other programs is awesome too, because if you also have those then you can have the same brushes for all your programs. If you’re just getting started and want a good set of brushes, I would happily recommend this bundle. They do cost $20 (or $35 if you also want the Digital Painting Handbook) at the time of this writing, but there is a lot of value here. The Jazza Ultimate Digital Brushes pack is a great set of brushes in my opinion. (I also found a bunch of typos so it probably needed another pass of editing as well, but that doesn’t change the value of the information inside) I feel like your mileage may vary as to whether the Handbook is worth the extra money in addition to the brushes. The sections on fabric and metal are pretty good, and the skin section does have some good tips. Overall though I feel like I did get value out of the Handbook and I’m glad that I have it in addition to the brushes. ![]() However I would have found this a bit more helpful in the skin section of the ebook instead of having to go all the way to the end to get brush suggestions (especially when there’s so many brushes in this bundle and it’s easy to get overwhelmed!) Sometimes a brush is suggested that the author likes to use, but most of the examples don’t tell you which brush to use so you can follow along and get similar results - except for the Showcase pieces at the end of the book, which tell you almost all of the brushes used on a specific spotlight piece. I feel like the Handbook is more for someone who already has some experience with digital painting but is just looking for some tips, because the ebook doesn’t tell you exactly which brushes to use to achieve a nice result. I especially liked the pencil tools and the oil painting tools, though I’m sure all the specialty brushes like the effects are awesome as well.Īs for the Digital Painting Handbook, my feelings on it are mixed. So what did I think of Jazza’s Ultimate Digital Painting Brushes (and the Handbook)? I didn’t get to try out every single brush, but the ones that I did use I really liked. I used the “OIL - Canvas Texture” brush to put down a gradient of light gray shades on my canvas. One of the tips in the handbook was to start with some sort of color on the canvas, even if it’s just a light gray. I decided to create a piece with the brushes to test them out, while also following some tips from the Digital Painting Handbook while I worked. I found this to be extremely helpful when deciding which brushes to install! The brush pack also comes with a PDF guide that lists all the brushes by category and gives a preview and brief description of each one. I got the brush bundle that also comes with “Jazza’s Ultimate Digital Painting Handbook”, a 100 page ebook with step-by-step directions on how to paint and sketch digitally (as well as included Photoshop files and time lapses of the example projects so you can follow along with the techniques). The bundle includes over 80 brushes, including pencils, pens, oil paints, watercolor, special effects, charcoal, and more. At the time of writing this, the brush pack is available for purchase on the Jazza Studios website, and comes with the brush files for Adobe Photoshop CC, Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, and Krita. I purchased these brushes with my own money because I wanted to use them. What I think of Jazza’s Ultimate Brushes Bundleįirst of all, I want to say that this is not sponsored by or affiliated with Jazza. What I think of the Jazza’s Ultimate Brushes Bundle In this article we will cover the following topics: I absolutely love discovering new brushes, so when I saw a new brush pack from YouTube artist Jazza, I knew I’d have to try them out! So I thought I’d write this “first impressions” review in case anyone else is considering purchasing this brush pack. ![]() I write weekly posts on and on CSP Tips, so be sure to come back every week to learn more Clip Studio Tips and Tricks from me! Many of you probably know my name from those books, in fact. I was a beta-tester on the Manga Studio 5 program and for Clip Studio Paint, and I have written three books and several video courses about the program. Hello! My name is Liz Staley and I’m a long-time user of Clip Studio Paint (I started using the program back when it was known as Manga Studio 4!). ![]()
