Swapped out my basic soft brush set for a custom one last month

I used to paint everything with the default Procreate brushes. Looked flat, always. Then a friend sent me a 12-brush oil painter set from MaxPacks. Now I blend textures way faster, especially on skin tones. Anybody else ditch factory presets for something better?

That 12-brush set probably saves you hours on shading alone.

see how many of those brushes you actually end up using regularly. i bought a big set once and found myself reaching for maybe three or four of them all the time. the rest just sat there gathering dust. maybe your mileage varies if you do a lot of different shading styles, but for me, a smaller curated set works better. i heard some people swear by those big sets for speed though, so it's probably a personal thing.

Nah I gotta disagree. A 12 brush set sounds like overkill unless you're doing hyper detailed stuff. Most people are fine with 3 or 4 good ones.
