Welcome to the first edition of the Weekly Deconstruction. This week Dave and I are covering the ‘Photoshop brush myth’ and why the various answers to this question never seem to be… If anyone can think of a better name, for the love of god please tell me because I suck at naming things.

Well, I’m sure most of you, if not all, have already read this, written by my friend over at Photoshopfornoobs. Or was it written by a friend of hers? This is something that I, of course, very much agreed with her on, and I have been holding off on this until now. Why did I hold off? Because have my own way of doing things goddamnit! But in all seriousness, I want and will get into such things, I first wanted to go over, and still do want to go over some other tools and brushes. Paint Tool SAI 2 Blur Setting: This blur brush created by Lilli-Loves-Carrots is a must-have in your Paint Tool SAI brushes collection. These are, and of course were, just the basic brushes and tools for painting and drawing in SAI. This one proves to be significant when you want to create an illusion in your artwork and do not have the right tool for that. I want you to have a basic understanding, if you didn’t have any before, of SAI’s main tools and brushes.

That way, when I DO get into painting, drawing, technique etc. I can build upon that, and give some sort of idea of how to do a specific technique, as well as what brush you may want to use for it.
