[@mason3872]

[@audreytseng7639]

Why is your voice so calming :U

[@LeslieLuMarie]

[@panka4961]

+Audrey Tseng yeah :D this was my first tought too

[@chloeyoude4986]

i dont have toughs buttons i only have add and duplicate and for add there is only pen air brush and eraser! what do i do!?

[@towneofsalem]

Same! What do we do?!

[@nekopuppystar576]

Me too! My sister has those options, but i don't! I don't know what to do!

[@ricardovieira49]

Those shading techniques are called crosshatching. Thanks for the tutorial. Amazing girl is amazing.

[@snowyyzoe]

This was so helpful! I just recently found out custom brushes were a thing, and it's so nice to know how to make them now :D

[@morganechols3288]

Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial! My registration for CSP expired on me so I’ve been looking for a decent free art program, and I used to use FireAlpaca but never really got the hang of all the features. Custom brushes by other artists seem rare so it’s a relief that I can create my own brushes!

[@luka6808]

Can you do a video on drawing hands/general anatomy? Btw i love your videos you inspired me to start drawing :)

[@_thatkpopfanboy_9840]

Gr8 M8 she did but it was a prank lol

[@bizarreEnschede]

Just started digital art and you are absolutely lifesaving! There are just not enough tutorials etc of firealpaca out there. Thank you so much!

[@KaylitoSuski]

Thank you so much for these tutorials!!! I have no knowledge of Digital Art Programs and I have definitely improved a lot from watching your vids. ;w; You are my saving grace.

[@haileyrush2736]

i used to watch your videos alllll the time before i did digital art and now that i do i have firealpaca bc of you :))

[@shibeshibo5552]

Thank you for this video! I can finally make my OWN natural hair brushes because its really difficult to find some specifically for FireAlpaca.

[@dderinsdiary]

I found a brush that I like from the link you gave, but i have no idea how to save it to my computer, please help :3

[@LeslieLuMarie]

just right-click the image and click "save image" from the list that shows up. or u can click "copy" and then paste it onto a blank canvas on firealpaca and save it from there. just make sure to save it as a png so the background is transparent!

[@dderinsdiary]

Thanks so much!!

[@szray8320]

@@LeslieLuMarie Hi! this is a VERY late comment, but I'm having trouble. When I save the image and put it as a brush, it saves the whole image as the brush, I really need help, because I don't know how to do hair and that's why I need the custom brushes XD

[@pocky3308]

are there any tiltable brushes in firealpaca? theres one in photoshop

[@chaotickatnip7775]

Donald Trumpet I love ur name 💜💗 My friend named the tree outside her house Donald stump

[@sun_2044]

Freddy & Friends Lololol xD

[@BahkaSheep]

Donald stump XD bloody brilliant!

[@okxyspiffz922]

the marker brush

[@MerylGearSolid]

Wow this was honestly so helpful, I can't thank you enough!

[@alexbonenfant1735]

This is awesome! After watching this, I was able to make a cool watercolor brush and a brush with just cute cartoony smiles on it. :D

[@pafait]

brush1 with barely any spacing would be good for semi-realistic eyebrowsฅ'ω'ฅ

[@user-nw3ol7fk1i]

I mean you'd only be able to use it for one type of eyebrow but yeah

[@t0xicr1ot]

THANK YOU!!! i needed a pore brush for skin and now im crying ily

[@ruthannemarie2668]

i don't have the two buttons on the bottom of the brush selector is that a problem with versions? or is there a way i can fix it

[@mxidentity]

Dude I don’t have it either, help me. You posted this 3 years ago, did you fix it. I’m dying

[@user-rq7ed6yg5f]

how do you download brushes from the internet? I've been trying to find good brushes for painting.

[@klowie_ch]

Thanks! I really need It! Your so helpful! I'm glad u have a YT channel! And your voice is so calm! Loves It! 😘

[@jay_w6403]

I know you posted this like 5 years ago but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU YOU SAVED MY LIFE (I made a strawberry brush )

[@satimessa]

omg thank god you exist! this helped a lot, thank you so much!!

[@ertkonsert3938]

This helped me so much! I played around with the different settings and found the type of brush I wanted ^o^

[@evans.8631]

Hey it would be great if you could make a video with your custom brushes - where you got them/how you made them, their settings, etc. :)

[@shunuuu]

the brushes for alpaca that you can download also works the same for medibang right??

[@CosmosArt1]

how do I download these brushes I cant find the download thingy they look sooo good

[@Vulpes_91]

thanks! I've just started learning this app for pixel art sessions and I would require square brush for sure

[@finsicle4660]

For those who were saying they didnt have the right buttons, you could be using an older version of Firealpaca, its latest update was 1.6 I think, it should say it when you get in, but thats thats my only guess for why you dont have the buttons you need.

[@ChaiDoodle]

Appreciate all these helpful videos. This makes me wish I had used the program sooner! SAI makes it so complicated to add brushes. lol

[@edddosomething1983]

thanks for the help really , i didnt know hotw to make custom brushes in firealpaca, thanks , also you voice is really Relaxing and peacefual :D :3

[@galerius61]

Really helpful, I wanted crate a calligraphyc pen and didn't know how to do...thank you !

[@Nonlocalheart]

how do you download it though...i may sound dumb so I'm sorry ;_;

[@appl_jaxxs]

i am very intrested on ur custom brushes but i want to ask how can i download the picture to make the prush cuz im only allowed to copy and past dowlaod

[@haidahaida9359]

What if you don't want a pattern brush what if you just want a regular brush, do you have to do the same stroke?

[@crystalbutterfly2997]

How did you find that folder?? I have DELL and I have no clue where it is!! Please help. Being a beginner digital artist and learning all of this stuff is kinda stressful

[@ravenermi]

i'm new to this program, what brush did you use for the pink sketch in the thumbnail? is it already available or can i download it from somewhere? ^^

[@geckomagic4739]

Did you download the janky brush or make it? I really like it and i want to know thx! :)

[@jax3799]

Hi, Leslie! I really like the chunky chalk brush you've found, but I can't seem to get it to work in Medibang Paint. I tried downloading it as a png as you said, but it doesn't download transparent. When I clicked "Add Brush" it doesn't take the brush I've put in the canvas, so I'm trying to use the other options as well. I'll keep trying, but if you find any tips out to help me, that would be awesome. Thank you!

[@soojab7313]

hhhhhh I'm kinda having trouble downloading the brush thingies can you please explain a bit more on how to get them from those refrence blogs? thank you

[@PIXEL-yt3fu]

im having a problem with my FireAlpaca, i don't know what setting i've changed but when using my drawing tablet, faint lines of my brush or pen appear when i'm not even touching the tablet with the stylus, any clues?

[@Remmi02]

Thank you for these tutorials! :D

[@evachxng]

hi! i know that this video has been here for a very long time but is it possible for you to make a video on how to make a watermark custom brush?

[@NightChime]

Is there a way to use the imported transparancy/opacity AND the imported color? Because when I turn off "use foreground color" it just treats it like a stamp with a white background... where I want a stamp with a clear background (and bits where it's semi-transparent).

[@NightChime]

I might just use copy and paste from another file, it's just gonna be a bit of a pain.

[@darknight_dragon7404]

what type of brush would i need to use to make a brush for blending colours together? :P

[@nixthelapin9869]

DarkNight_Dragon I usually use blur or the eye dropper tool. Sometimes the airbrush depending on the situation

[@Jb-vd2ub]

Thank you so much! :3

[@LeslieLuMarie]

+Jordan Bell you are very welcome!! :"D

[@danunderwood6240]

Thanks for the info. Was wondering how to do this and couldn't figure it out. Thx for the help. This will save me a lot of time.

[@banbar4795]

I recently switched to Medibang (which is the exact same as Firealpaca with less brushes, no onion skin, and it's "dark mode") and I'm using this tutorial to make my own Firealpaca brushes to use on Medibang

[@googly4038]

Idk how to change the color on my custom brush :( It wont change

[@autumnblalock3482]

Thank you for such great tuts!

[@ghostiegalaxi]

Can you make your brushes multiple different colors?

[@pikakit1]

Just a question, how did you make the paint palette on firealpaca? Nice tutorial tho, it really helped me out!

[@pikakit1]

oh ok, thanks!

[@shuuii2682]

Thanks! This video help me a LOT. So, thanks for posting it!

[@dreamcakey9623]

OMG I NEED HELP! When I go to create a brush, that Bitmap, bitmap watercolor, scatter, scatter watercolor, or pattern setting isn't there, and I am using firealpaca. Please help i am so confused. :(

[@Mikoo2363]

So, how do you enter full screen? I've been trying to find out for a month.

[@wattameg3380]

how do you get the circle thing on firealpaca? it would be REALLY helpful for me

[@_squishyshiber]

I don't really understand how to save the picture properly because when I do the entire reference picture the people post becomes the brush... What am I doing wrong? And/or am I not doing something?

[@HauntingSriracha]

This is really cool!

[@AdarableKitten]

nice!! i learned how to make brushes!!

[@milmoarts]

Thank you so much! I needed this and I have already made a brush :)

[@nnaja8971]

can you do a video on how to fix the pen pressure

[@kemonono]

what's the brush you use to make your art? it is exactly the type i need...

[@brittlebowl4130]

What about bitmap brushes? I don't have that setting on Firealpaca or Medibang.

[@tomosobi3603]

I really dont understand... I downloaded the png images you gave and put them in the bitmap but they look completely different. I tried setting the settings to look exactly like the image but the png files didnt show the same setting options for the brushes... Is there something wrong with my computer? Sorry if I dont sound nice im just getting really frustrated :(

[@paperbag9235]

I want to make a brush that looks exatly like a pen but has the texture of a marker. İs it possible?

[@tooylol9107]

I have this problem, I just updated my FireAlpaca to version 1.7.6, because I want the kinda 'Rhough pencil' brush I see alot. I opened the 'Add brush (Bitmap)' with a PNG and that stuff. But, on every image of the settings you need to adjust them to, are different from the popup that I get. I get waaaay more settings than others, and if I try to adjust them right and press enter, select the brush en make a line, nothing appears on my canvas.

[@tooylol9107]

Ok well it suddenly works with these settings: width: 3 px min width: 0% Size by pressure: check Opacity by pressure: check brush spacing: 5 rotate along: check rotate angle: 0 rotate random: 100 apply foreground color: check color jitter:0 hue jitter: 0 Mess with these as much as you want, but it worked for me like this.

[@Iramali1666]

Are you able to trace on fire alpaca?

[@erin9473]

yeah save the image then put it on fire alpaca , lower opacity, then make new layer and trace to your hearts content

[@najak.6027]

Yoooo, thanks dude! That'll be super helpful in the future

[@LeslieLuMarie]

+Kritzel you are very welcome! :"D

[@ProfessorCutespirit]

Can firealpaca and medibang brushes be the same to download?

[@ann-the-fool]

[@joygee51]

how do you get that circle around your mouse???

[@lunacreates4354]

[@chesshercat6374]

I can't seem to download the brushes... It is almost like it is a picture... I can drag the whole thing of, including the buttons, and the buttons don't work

[@minou2980]

my brushes don't work, just lines of black come up no effect on every blush apart from airbrush??

[@Jinnwyan]

[@tatyanahideg]

I don't get how you saved it at 1:43

[@jadenxtwo]

I don't know if anyone will see this, but I've been trying to find a solution to this problem: I keep doing everything she said in the video (and other videos) but when I get back to the actual program to try out the brush, it looks not at all like what I saved. It's see through and blurry and I don't know what I'm doing wrong, if anyone sees this and if you know what step I could be missing, please reply with some help! Thanks! ✏️

[@forkuru]
