My plans for Rakurri Brush Set V2.0

New Icons

Even though I liked having the simple low-contrast non-distracting icons, I find that the more brushes I make, the harder it gets to tell them apart from each other. In the new pack the icons will be more like Krita’s default brushes but keep the neutral background colour. I also wanted to try to make my brushes look fun and refreshing.

Here is how they look so far!

Explanation of icons in order of appearance:

Pencil - Brushes that are nice for sketching and general drawing.

Digital Pen - Brushes that act like digital tools, this will include my square brushes, round brushes and similar. There will be an icon next to the pen to show what kind of tip it has.

Chalk - Brushes that feels chalky or has a good amount of texture.

Ink - Brushes designed for inking and finishing sketches.

Palette Knife - Brushes that heavily rely on tilting to achieve the affects you want. Great for landscape painting or impressionistic styles.

Q-Tip - Blending brushes great for blending and smudging, or to achieve interesting textures. Might be more icons depending on the amount of blending brushes, like sponges or similar.

Red Paint Brush - Paint brushes that act “normal”.

Purple Paint Brush - Paint brushes that are wet and use the “Color Smudge Engine”.

Blue Paint Brush - Watercolour brushes that often have special properties to achieve a watercolour effects.

Foliage Wand - Brushes that imitate foliage and similar, including grass, fur and leaves.

Star Wand - Special brushes making nice glows, stars or similar. Things to spruce up the painting!

Liquid Wand - Brushes using the “Deform Engine”.

Spray Box - Brushes that use the “Spray Engine” or gives a spray-like effect.

Bottle - Brushes to fill in areas with colour or quickly concept.

Small icons on the icons

Icons will show what special properties the different brushes have. For instance, if the brush has tilt, or what kind of tip the “Digital Pen” brushes have. Like this:

New Names

I want names that act more like Krita’s defaults. This way I can sort them better with the new icons and be more creative with the names! One of the new upcoming brushes names is named “Silkeslør”, but it is easy to see what kind of brush it is because of the new naming scheme and icons!

Naming scheme before:

Rakurri Brush Silkeslør

Naming scheme after:

rwc) Silkeslør

(rwc meaning Rakurri Watercoulour)

Vision The vision for this pack is, and will probably always be brushes that I use, and that I feel allows me to draw in the styles I want to draw. And for that I have to draw a lot and make brushes as I go! Estimated release date for V2 is sometime 2021!

Thank you all for the support! I get much joy from seeing people enjoying my brushes!
