Another enjoyable episode!! Maybe you could do a series of custom brushes? Rain? Stars? Hair (You're older videos ROCKED with hair 'brushes')....etc?
I've bookmarked a lot of the older ones, but would be nice if you could do an update on the many, MANY custom brushes you've done over the years!!
I especially liked, awhile back...using custom brushes not for painting things IN, but to mask things out...that really blew my mind.
Please keep up the good work!! I'm also a pro subscriber....but enjoy the weekly YT content too!!

Great tutorial on making brushes! I'm wondering how to turn it into a mixer/blender brush?

Hi Aaron, In your next video can you do a tutorial on how to make logos

[HowieD]

I see you are using a larger drawing tablet than in your previous tutorials, do you like the larger tablet over the smaller one? which size tablet do you prefer?

👍❄️Great episode, well explained, illustrated and paced! Cool effects, no snow job, not flakey, very unique — pun storm over. Will try this method for certain and attempt modifications to create other brushes. Did recent Chicago weather inspire this one, Aaron?
