Hello everyone! A new upload of my brush set was long overdue so here’s a collection of 84 brushes I’ve used over the past year (and some for longer). It’s an entirely un-cleaned up package and a lot of them aren’t even named, so you get a really ‘authentic’ Ani experience, so to speak. I hope it doesn’t intimidate you. There are 84 individual brushes. Most of them are my custom, hand-made brushes scanned from blotches of ink and other things. There are also some default Photoshop brushes that are good for generic use. There are textured and non-textured brushes and some custom shapes. They were created with Adobe Photoshop CC 14.0 and any kind of compatibility with other versions is not guaranteed!

All I ask of you not to reupload these or claim they’re yours (or anyone else’s) and respect the effort I’ve put into these over the years, and have fun with them. You don’t have to credit me if you use them in your work but links back to me are appreciated.

Droplets bouncing on a pool form a beautiful and fascinating system, as recently featured by Physics Girl, Veritasium, and Smarter Every Day. The Lutetium Project – a consortium of French physics, graphic design, and music students – have their own take on the subject with beautiful short videos constructed from experimental research footage. With simple text explanations and lovely original music, they combine science, art, and outreach brilliantly. Also check out their quantum walker video and be sure to subscribe to their channel (in English or French) for more!  (Video credit: The Lutetium Project; submitted by @g_durey)

Exercise 48 Practice Sheet: Blood

Artist: Tim Von Rueden (vonn)

Check out the Exercise and Download the Practice Sheet HERE.

Blood. The rich, scarlet liquid that acts as our gasoline, our life-force. Let’s take on a material challenge on understanding how blood looks and should be treated when re-creating it. Blood is a material that has no texture but rather a smooth surface and is defined by how thin or thick it is. 

For more tips on how to create blood on your own, click the link above! 

I’ll give notes and a step by step on doing this exercise on October 28th!

been collecting these when i can handle noise so i never have to hunt for them again when i need to calm myself while eating/doing homework/getting ready for school. music has been too much for me lately for the most part, and while ear defenders are a true blessing sometimes the sound of my own blood in my head is too inwardly focused.

slytherin common room (super underwatery and kinda chilly but comforting, absolutely perfect)

dark cave (bit creepy, lots of drips)

bunk down for the night (also a tad spooky, ft. creaky trees and bug noises)

back porch (really cozy, warm back porch noises. even has the hum of a neon light running underneath all the other sounds. electric hums are so good)

inside a cozy winter cottage (fireplace sounds, creaky rocking chair sounds)

bayou stillness (the water sounds in this one are satisfying. very bloopy. plus lots of southern bug noises)

the perfect storm 

asleep in the backseat (reminds me of being super sleepy in the back of the car during road trips as a kid)

the bridge of the enterprise (i personally mute channels 7 and 8 but the rest is a+) 

medieval market/festival (makes me think of wearing a braided flower crown and eating chicken tenders at the renaissance faire)

comfort (cat purring and wind chimes)

sleeping dragon (basically exactly like the cat one if the cat was a dragon instead)

tornado hits (storm! sirens!)

fan hum white noise

isochronic binaural beat: energy focus concentration (makes my brain feel sharp and shiny, but can also be incredibly exhausting to listen to. only use when i am in dire need of focus)
