It's also impossible to get that scumbling effect where the bristles are splayed out in chaotic directions as you scrub the canvas with the dry brush.Īnyway, I just wanted to bring this up, because I would love to see these types of dry scumbling brushes in Rebelle. The problem is, if I decrease the load or oiliness, it simply makes the paint more diluted/faint, not more dry. The additional "texture" brushes I downloaded from Escape Motion's website were like that too, even if they did create more chaotic looking texture patterns. When I tried to get that dry scumbling look in Rebelle, the brushes were all too neat and smooth, unable to create less predictable dynamic behavior to achieve that dirty, gritty look I want when imparting a sense of texture in my brushwork. You can see how in my work, that dry/scumbling look is very important for imparting interesting textures. Here are a few images to demonstrate the look I'm talking about. If we can get some nice scumbling dry brushes, it would really make the painting experience feel much more complete. I don't think anyone likes having to export between apps during their workflow. I can do it fairly easily in some of the other art software (especially in Photoshop), and I would hate to be forced to have to get that look outside of Rebelle. I tried to simulate it with different brush settings in Rebelle (using both oil/acrylic and charcoal/pastel brushes) and I just couldn't achieve that look. It's one that I absolutely need to have and use all the time in my work. With that said, it currently has a glaring hole in its brushes-dry/scumbling brushes. Currently, Rebelle is one of my favorites, beating out other art software with similar focus (Corel Painter, Artrage, Painstorm Studio). I should preface my post by mentioning that I've been painting digitally since the late 90's, and have used every digital art software that's worth testing out.
