absolutely perfect for lineless work

I like to do a lot of mostly lineless work, with a few highlighting lines in there, very heavily stylised, and this brush set is PERFECT for it. Wally wood pen + brush pen - super dry are my two absolute favourites, the true goats of my recent work, and old dotty has made a surprise showing as a fantastic tool for chains of beads! I’ve never been able to use those premade chain bead tools with my work because they’re always so uniform and neat in lines, it just doesnt work with the chunkier gritty edges or lines I prefer. Old dotty though? Beautiful, chunky little dots, easy to vary the size, perfect as is for the simpler lineless work or a nice start point for more complicated pieces. Cannot say enough good things about this pack, and have recommended it to multiple artists I know- and have gotten multiple compliments on the brushes I use too.
