edit4 (21.08.2021): These brushes are up on gumroad now!
Get them here: gumroad.com/anniho#VEYXT
There's also a new tumblr post about this version! >> Curve Snap Ink on Tumblr <<
They have updated files (the same ones, but now with mdp importable brushes for firealpaca) and some example settings and instructions If you like my work and would like to support me more directly, please consider buying these or just sharing the post!
Thank you for liking these brushes so far and hope you have fun with these~ <3

edit3 (17.09.2020): Swapped out the .zip for one where 1 brush has a better name.
edit2 (31.07.2018): I've made the file a .zip for easier access. Also made a separate folder for them here: mega.nz/#F!KKwiSYgY!RqOqisEX7r…
edit: the file you can download is a .rar and has all of the brushes in its folder.
Some free FireAlpaca and Medibang Paint brushes for the curious! Download on the right (Right click+ 'Save As') which is a .rar file and you will find the brushes listed on this image and some others as well.
>>>>>Instructions: 'Add brush' from brushes dialogue>you get a neat window with all the options for your brush.
All these bitmap brushes should work best at "random rotate" checked & lowest "width" and "spacing" & "opacity by pressure" unchecked, with these 4 things, most brushes become inking brushes essentially.
All the other options should be adjusted to your own liking and needs, these are specifics I used these brushes with in the image seen above.
For example, I've found that "bubblecage" looks really nice at 17 spacing but this will vary on what you need for your brushes to be. A lot of them can work really nice as textured Watercolor Bitmap brushes as well but those are totally up to your preferences, I think with a higher "Load Color" count they can leave some really nice effect behind. The "G-Pen Ooze" brush is something I included just for comparison and is a default brush in Medibang Paint.
----------
Since making brushes for these programs is pretty easy, you can try making your own, try making a transparent .png into a bitmap brush, even from something like your own art. You can follow tutorials like this one: fav.me/d9orr3n or fav.me/d98mot3 and fire-alpaca have a nice folder for tutorials where you can find more in this gallery: fire-alpaca.deviantart.com/gal…

The stuff I've tried so far is using different shapes with "rotation" and only the "size by pressure" boxes checked, as well as finding simple bruhses for sketching, painting and inking especially.

I've always forgotten to put up my custom brushes and decided I should put up these ones. The preview image is a test I made to showcase how these brushes would look like in a more controlled environment of sorts so: I used the curve snap function and the "draw curve (fade in/out) to make all the curves sorta even. You can use these brushes for stuff like Inking and drawing and if you set them as "Bitmap Watercolor" type, you can use them for painting and colormixing as well, they leave a nice texture behind.

I had been making custom bitmap brushes for myself in Gimp before, and now in Firealpaca too since the feature was added a few years ago and have since made some pretty reliable ones which I use for all sorts of sketching and painting purposes. I brought the subject up in a recent presentation made for a teaching class and so, thought that it would be nice to experiment again after a while! Otherwise, haven't really found the time to make any more after getting into school again.

If you like these you can reblog at tumblr and check out my brush blog !or if you're gonna use them, please favourite this!
Also, for MBP users, the official site has quite an extensive list of all of their brushes and some really nice previews, which you can download while logged in to the program itself: Cloud brushes

If you make any artwork with these, I'd be delighted to see it! feel free to just add comments here so everyone can see ;D

You don't have to credit each picture you might use these in but it would be really cool if you do a shout-out at me, this deviation here or link them on, y'know... just spread the word ; )
