most of the people here use graphic tablets, i use a wacom intuos2 tablet > www.wacom.com

i'm guessing you're using a mouse since you likely wouldn't be asking this question if you were using a tablet. i'm not trying to be rude, but helpful. with the tablet it's like using a pencil, brush, or pen so you'd just adjust it to your comfort and style. if you're using a mouse i haven't the slightest idea how to config your brushes, unless you mean spacing (tracking) or hardness.

as for custom brushes, i doubt if these guys and girls would give up their customs...that's the root of their art and style man. if you're talking about the actual manual process of making a brush, you should atleast tell us what program you're using... =.

I have a Wacom, Its the Wacom Graphire. I use photoshop, and know alot about graphics.. i just cant figure out the brushes D:

I use the default brushes, mostly the hard edged ones, with opacity sensitivity switched on usually, sometimes off. Wet edges off, Opacity 100%. I'm guessing this is a fairly common setting.

Well, these are some custom brushes I occasionally use:



Truth is, though, I usually just use the round brushes; opacity 100, hardness 96, with the Colour, Opacity, and Size pressure-sensitivity options on.

The custom brushes are fun, but they look absolutely awful if you use them on their own with no modification. I always use them, erase into them, add another one, erase into THAT...to build up textures. Like you'd do with oil paint--put on the paint, scribble at it with a dry brush, add more paint, take it off, and so forth...yeah...that.

Custom brushes are very helpful for making textures, for painting hoever they're less used if at all (unless for large textured areas again).
I use some self made brushes, most fitting to what i need (mostly a bunch of random dirt).

Here they are, i use them only for textures. Although i knwo i should make like x10 more if i wanna do textures seriously.
