Marker / Watercolor Brush

Post by oscar »

I've been amazed by the amazing looks of Adrien Mérigeau "Genius Loci" and for parts of my thesis film I'd love to have a similar painterly effect. I wonder what the best way to go about it would be and if the TVPaint brushes could achieve such an effect?

here is the link to the video with more examples and how it looks in motion.

I've already tried to come up with a brush that could do the trick,
mainly from advise on this thread, but it still needs some fixing. I'll try to make it more rectangular later when I have the time. But there is maybe more that I need to consider? You can find it here:

So if anyone has tips on how to better achieve this effect, what to change about the brush, or a workflow that would be smarter (!)
Please tell me (aussi en francais si vous voulez!)
Thank you very much! Merci!

Little update: I fooled around some more and came up with a different brush that already works a little better. But it's a little too tame now...

I feel there's still room for improvement! Hapyy for input how I can get closer to references like this:

Yes, its a great look. and a direct translation of the unique painting style of the amazing Brecht Evens, a belgian comic artist who creates the art for his books by layering gouache on paper.

i think you are already close with the brushes, and you mainly need to start playing around with layering and all the various blendmodes.
