I've included "moist" media... Basically you can find crazy pastels there. Textures can be turned on/off at your taste... I suggest to keep them on... This one is done using Moist Pastel 09

I'm very happy with the result, I tried to push the engine here whilst keeping all as responsive as possible.
Each preset can be used as Blender and Paintbrush, in particular Blockers.
For users of Affinity 1.x, you’ll find all brushes from previous versions in the "legacy" folder.
Enjoy!

DAUB Pigmento Mk4 is out!
The work has been mainly on Colour Jitters for a more controllable and refined experience for 2.x users.
Also I focused on a "materic" feeling for strokes.

An unconventional way to use PixelPasto: I reprocess the illustration with included DAUB sets and then compose it in Affinity Photo to achieve an even more painterly effect, a quick way to iterate styles and retain details... #blender #affinityphoto #DaubBrushes #illustration #pixelpasto #conceptart

After 10 years, I'm updating the DAUB® Pencils set: 12 tools and a high-resolution texture.
All completely free… Have fun!

Exploring possible workflows in Blender and PixelPasto: the painting module can be used to create real-time iterations or upscale an illustration. This approach can be useful for experimenting with styles and effects.... #Blender #DaubBrushes

This is my DAUB pack for Photoshop. It has a pretty unique feature: it is totally 16bit ready.
I rarely use Photoshop anymore, only when clients specifically request it… The set is still available in the store, though... 🫠 #Photoshop #DigitalArt #DigitalPainting #illustration

The idea behind PaintBox was to create brushes with a thick impasto effect, without using filters or other features... These work great if you stay loose with simple shapes and bold strokes.
