I found a tutorial on how to use the “Art History Brush” in Photoshop. I didn’t know anything about it before, but I think it’s kind-of cool. It does make me question a lot of digital art now, at least the stuff that looks photo-realistically proportioned. (I don’t think the art at this link was done in Photoshop, but when I see this type of artwork, I know it can be, and faster.) Even that type of digital painting takes an artist’s eye-hand coordination and plenty of knees-bent-advancing behavior, so I’m not knocking it. Just questioning how it was made.

I used the Art History brush on cat’s fur. Don’t like it as much as the flat tones, but I shouldn’t have used it with the ink drawing. Would have been better fully-painted.
