Definitely looks better than the Sumi-e brushes from the older versions. I remember when I wanted to paint with one of the brushes that made several lines on the paper at the same time, and I had to adjust it first so that I could paint well with it. As far as I know, there is no brush or way to paint with several lines when painting Sumi-e, which reminds me more of a watercolour effect brush. It is simply a fantasy brush, with which Sumi-e may get a bit more modern influences. By the way, Sumi-e is painted with ink and not with watercolour because it spreads too much on the paper and the ink is easier to control with how much it should spread.

Thank you, I wonder if you have any tips on how to improve performance when using these brushes? they tend to.... lag (I replaced my old hard drive with an SSD last year, and they are maybe 10 times faster now, but I still find them a bit laggy). Could I ask for your pc specifications? thank you

I think it will be a bit difficult with these brushes when painting, if the very light stroke does not "dry" visibly. ' It then seems difficult for me to find out when the pressure is enough to set a stroke, if something should be painted very lightly. It's not as realistic as it should be. If I paint in reality on a sheet of paper with a brush, then the brush already gives off colour when I touch the paper minimally with the tip. I think I already had this phenomenon with the watercolour brush, and I then set it a little more sensitive to pressure.
