ive been wanting to try to use better brushes rather than the digital pen in ibispaint. i've also wanted to do more painterly and good for paint-esque digital art and smoky/fuzzy textures and light/shadow effects. i also feel weird coloring in outlines because i am worried they will blend in the background too much or stick out weirdly.

some examples of me trying that stuff:
