Introduction
Brushes in Manga Studio 5 can do a lot more than just making a pencil mark when you use your stylus to draw. By customizing your brushes, you can speed up your workflow and create special effects. Spend a little time now making a brush that imitates ruffled fabric, and save time later when you introduce a character with a penchant for wearing ruffles!
The brush settings can look a little intimidating at first, but once you know what everything does, you'll be flying through the brush creation process! This chapter is a good introduction to some brushes that you may need in your drawing process.
For all the recipes in this chapter, it is advised that you have a page open to make test marks on as you make your new brush. This is the best way to test what each option in the Tool property window does and how tweaking the options can make a difference in the look of our brush.
