HIPAINT Watercolor Brushes

August 19, 2024

So just for fun, I tried to create custom brushes for HiPaint since the watercolor brush is too limited which is only one brush 🤣.

It is quite a challenge to replicate since it lacks some brush settings like other drawing apps particularly on the bleed or wet edges.

Sample image above painted with the default watercolor brush, which is not bad at all, but we have the freedom to create our own brush that would fit our own liking.

Upon many attempts and tries here are some brushes that I was able to come up with and compiled as group brush.

Though, it turned out to be somewhat realistic but with the use of light colors it would come close to a more watercolor paint with the proper tonal values applied.

Newly added brushes below and made some quick strokes and up to you to bring out the creativity inside you on how you can make use of these brushes in your artwork 😁.

WC11 seems cool for making bubbles or water droplets, for the rest I leave it to you to explore 😊.

WC15

WC16

Brushes WC12 to WC15 to come up with a wet edge effect and leave the mid part somewhat transparent just paint in circular motion until you notice the effect.

Update: Added 4 brushes more to the group 😊

Most of the time to get the proper blend I need, I paint on a single layer and only make additional layers for backgrounds, clothing, hair etc. then merge them later.

But for starters separate your line art drawings if you are more comfortable of starting with sketch before coloring, sometimes I paint the shape directly and just keep on improving and just add some lines if needed.
