About the video: Create the necessary brushes
Overview
“In this lesson I am going to teach you how to modify and create your own brushes to configure the group of brushes that I use in all my works. I am fully aware that this lesson has enough content for a complete course, therefore, I will only tell you about those fundamental aspects to create and configure your own brushes. This lesson is for you to experiment with the brushes, touch everything, modify everything, change everything, it is the only way to understand what each thing is for. When you no longer want to modify the brushes, in the additional resources you can download the brushes that I use in all my works. In this way, everyone will have the same brushes to work on the final project.”
In this video lesson Jaime Sanjuan Ocabo addresses the topic: Create the necessary brushes, which is part of the Domestika online course: Realistic Painting and Illustration with Procreate. Learn to digitally draw with your iPad and your fingers.
Partial transcription of the video
“In this lesson I am going to teach you how to configure and create the eight brushes that you will need so much to do this final project as for any other you do in the future. Let's go there. In this lesson 2 of unit 2, we are going to talk about brushes. I'm going to show you what brushes you're going to need to paint, to illustrate realistically and I'm going to teach you how to create your own brush so that later you can extrapolate what I'm going to explain to the creation of any brush. The first thing we do is create a new file. Size A2, as you learned in the previous lesson. Very good...”

A course by Jaime Sanjuan Ocabo
Jaime Sanjuán is a digital designer, illustrator, and painter. He studied fine art at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, where he learned traditional artistic techniques such as oil painting, pastels, clay modeling, etc. However, he decided to swap his brushes and studio for an iPad and the Procreate app, which give him the possibility to explore countless techniques without needing much space and using only his fingers.
Jaime has always been fascinated by realist and hyperrealist painting. It's this aesthetic that he always seeks in his paintings and illustrations, which are full of double meanings and impossible realities. This very particular vision and a highly refined technique have earned him international recognition such as the Communication Arts Award, the American Illustration Award, and the Latin American Illustration Award, enabling him to see his work exhibited in galleries and museums around the world.
