I often struggle when trying to make rough sketches on photoshop because I can't find a brush which works for me. Does anyone have any suggestions? Can be any default brushes or 3rd party ones. Appreciated.
Which version of photoshop do you have? If you have CS5 and up you can get a free extention NKS5. It has many tools that are much like tradition tools. It has nice pencil brushes to choose from.
It doesn't replace anything, if thats a worry. You can open and close its tab group as you can with layers, navigator and such tabs.(If that made sense) You can always uninstall it if you don't like it. Its a free extension, so you really have nothing to lose.
