  1. ME gustaria tener links o foros o asistencia de HUION, donde a mis alumnos les aclaren las herramientas basicas, que puedan funcionar con sus pinceles. Expongo, que al ser costoso para estudiantes, el PAinter de corel, evaluemos si con marca blanca podemos funcionar para pintores e ilustradores digitales. El lapiz o pen, pierde magnetismo en la huion, alguien me dice, que esto ya lo tienen identificado los usuarios, que se cambia por un universal con puntas y podremos pintar. Pero requiero una solución práctica. Debemos evaluar si resulta mejor apartar esta marca y apuntarle a procreate con una wacom básica que sea ascequible de precio o si por tablet apple resulta mas profesional y bien de precio. como veo a muchos dibujantes jóvenes de agencia. Algunos tienen ordenador con PSD y Procreate y mucha capacidad para el RENDER. Tu que aconsejas. o si me indicas como tener esta info en algun lugar, aqui en MADRID.. Tus pinceles estan muy ascequibles, de precio, si se pueden escalar de tamaño y si tiene tutorial, para diseñar otros aspectos plus, que podamos probar. Ellos me preguntan como fabricar pinceles de textura escalables y nunca fijos.

    1. [traducido por computadora]
      Me disculpo de antemano si no abordo correctamente todos sus puntos, ya que tengo que confiar en Google Translate para comprender y responder y me está dando una traducción bastante confusa. Déjame ver si puedo abordarlo como lo entiendo.

      Lamentablemente, no estoy muy familiarizado con las tabletas Huion, por lo que no puedo abordar ningún problema que usted o sus estudiantes tengan con ellas.

      En cuanto a Corel Painter, es una aplicación muy agradable y sus pinceles fueron, de hecho, mi inspiración original para crear pinceles, pero de nuevo, no soy un experto en Corel Painter y no lo he usado mucho en los últimos años.

      En cuanto a los artistas que están comenzando, si pueden pagar un iPad Pro, creo que es una manera fantástica de hacerlo y ahora hay muchas aplicaciones excelentes para los artistas. Creo que el Apple Pencil es tan bueno, quizás mejor, que la mayoría de las tabletas gráficas. Sin embargo, si desea trabajar en un estudio o con una agencia profesional, lo más probable es que se espere que trabaje y proporcione archivos PSD e AI, por lo que una computadora de escritorio es casi imposible de evitar para trabajar en la profesión.

      Mis pinceles se pueden escalar, pero los pinceles de Photoshop son todos pinceles de trama (basados ​​en imágenes) y todos los activos basados ​​en imágenes tienen un límite sobre el cual el escalado introduce artefactos en bloque. Esa es simplemente la naturaleza de las aplicaciones basadas en píxeles como Photoshop y realmente no hay forma de evitarlo más que comenzar con texturas de base muy grandes que ralentizarán la velocidad de sus pinceles y consumirán la memoria RAM (generalmente sin acceso).
      Aplicaciones como Adobe Illustrator usan imágenes vectoriales que se pueden escalar infinitamente, pero tienen un aspecto muy diferente. Es difícil conseguir un aspecto muy orgánico con los vectores, en parte debido a su propia naturaleza.

      Espero haber abordado algunas de sus preguntas.

      [original English]
      I apologise in advance if I don’t properly address all your many points as I am having to rely on Google Translate to understand and reply and it’s giving me a fairly confusing translation. Let me see if I can address it as I understand them.

      Unfortunately I am not very familiar with Huion tablets at all, so I can’t address any issues you or your students are having with them.

      As for Corel Painter, it is a very nice app and it’s brushes were in fact my original inspiration for creating brushes but again, Im no expert in Corel Painter and haven’t used it much in the past few years.

      As for artists starting out, if you can afford an iPad Pro, I think it is a fantastic way to go and there are many great apps on there for artists now. I think the Apple Pencil is as good as, perhaps better than most graphics tablets. However, if you want to work in a studio or with a professional agency, you will most likely be expected to work with and provide PSD and AI files, so a desktop computer is still almost impossible to avoid in order to work in the profession.

      My brushes can be scaled, but Photoshop brushes are all raster (image based) brushes and all image based assets have a limit over which scaling introduces blocky artifacts. That is simply the nature of pixel based apps like Photoshop and there is really no way around it other than starting with very large base textures which will slow down the speed of your brushes and eat up RAM memory (usually uneccessarily)
      Apps like Adobe Illustrator use vector images which can be scaled infinitely, but have a very different look. It is difficult to get a very organic look with vectors, partly doe to their very nature.

      I hope I have addressed some of your questions.

  2. Can these be used with Autodesk Sketchbook Pro? If not do you plan on making it compatible? I got so excited when I saw these but got really bummed when I saw it only worked in photoshop and a few other programs.. I have photoshop Elements

  3. Please make one for procreate:)>?>????

    1. I do have Procreate brushes Jiya! You can get my Procreate brushes here. Thanks for the suggestion

  4. Expensive?

    1. I suppose that’s relative its $20 for about 400 brushes.

  5. I have some grunge brushes which are exalent. But can I ask is it possible to get them to work in 32bit.

    There Are a lot of artists who work in the film and TV industry and have to work in this.

    Many thanks again for your work.

    1. If you set your document to 32 bit they will all paint in 32 bit Anthony. I can’t remember if Photoshop can be set to 32 bit though, maybe not! 16 may be the max (sorry it took me so long to reply!) I actually used to work in Visual FX myself but as a compositor, not a painter.

    2. Can these be used with Autodesk Sketchbook Pro? If not do you plan on making it compatible? I got so excited when I saw these but got really bummed when I saw it only worked in photoshop and a few other programs.. I have photoshop Elements

      1. Aw, I wish Kris. They are not compatible. I looked into making brushes for Sketchbook Pro a few years ago and actually had some communications with Autodesk about it. It’s a really great app but I just don’t have the time to do it justice.

  6. May I use it without a touch screen?

    1. Yes, the brushes don’t need a touch screen, but you do need a tablet with a stylus (like a Wacom or compatible)
