## Intro
I'm starting the year with an update of my previous brush bundle: it was starting to feel a bit outdated compared to what I'm actually using. Even though it looks mostly the same, under the hood all brushes got a lot of improvements.

## Changelog:
- Added 8 new brushes.
- Kept the design, and color code by groups
- Refactored pressure sensitivity curves: the bundle is now more linear.
- Fixed glitches here and there.
- Fixed a brush that was too similar to another one (I accentuated its effect).
- Fixed initial brush size, optimised for working at 66% 50% and 33% zoom of the viewport.
- Switched smudge brushes to "Parralel" blending mode; better color mixing results.
- Added brush tag "deevad 25.01"
- Added "deevad 25.01" in brush name to ease filtering them.
## Usage
Here is the old video I made for 23.01 but it still applies for 90% of this brush bundle.

## FAQ
**Q: Can I paint with these brushes for a commercial project?**?
A: Yes you can. I have set the license to CC 0 / Public Domain. You are free to use these brushes as if they were your own.
**Q: How to set their layout in a two columns?**
A: I detail this [in the introduction of this video](https://youtu.be/uYdEkOyFUn8?t=161) (link with timecode).
**Q: Why do you pack erasers, airbrushes, move tool, etc.? Aren't they already included in the standard Krita package?**
A: That's because this bundle is my standard set; the one I've been painting with every day for years. Having duplicates of the presets in my pack allows me to slightly update their behavior if I want. I keep only this brush pack visible on my interface, usually in a two-column layout.
**Q: Lazy artist! Your brush looks just like the default set! Same name and design! Some are even similar! **
A: That's because [I designed the default brush of Krita](https://www.davidrevoy.com/article340/krita-4-0-brushes) and even if my taste evolves a bit, my main tools and my way of solving problems remain the same.
**Q: Why are you investing time to do this for free?**?
A: Many reasons: One is that it is a good way to create a clean snapshot of my tools at a given time. Sharing them forces me to document them, clean them, and make nice thumbnails. I'm the first one here who enjoys using something clean for my work. I also like to share my brushes with artists who are interested in how I created this or that effect.

Just wrapped up the cover illustration for my upcoming Krita brush bundle. It features a warrior, continuing the theme from my previous bundle. I had a lot of fun designing a medieval fantasy gothic look and capturing the light of the golden hour. I also enjoyed the painting process.
