Storyboard and comics artist Kevin Mellon has a great style when working in SketchBook. To get that style he has customized a set of brushes that dovetail perfectly with his workflow. His customized brushes let him work quickly but still imbue his storyboards with the emotional data and visual language necessary to carry the story.
His custom brushes include splatters that can act as grit, dust or blood spray; hash marks for quick shading and fill; and includes some fantastic pens and pencils whose hardness and nibs are customized for sketching and inking his work. These unique custom brushes have been put together in a free set for SketchBook Pro subscribers. You can get the Kevin Mellon Brush Set now to use it on all SketchBook platforms.
