Hi, first of all. I came to this site fom a guy named allpetter
.
I had a question, how do you people get the paint brush effect?
(please forgive me if I use your image the wrong way)



Any suggestions?

Make your question more specific. At the moment nobody can help you.

Well, what I am trying to ask is this...
If you look at the above images, you can see that the pictures look as if they were painted with a real brush.
It looks like someone just took his/her brush and painted the picture...
It is kind of hard to explain...(see, the picture below only looks like it was painted with a real brush)
Also it seems that cartoons have painted backgrounds, that might help a little?
Are you still confused?


Or something like this?

top one, i used standard hard rounds, pen set to opacity, and a large hard edged smudge to push the sky around a little, used a textured brush at the very end on the helmets but that's very slight, bog standard ps brushes

As far as I can tell, those were all made in PS with standard round brushes. No secret tricks or anything. Whether or not your brushstrokes are visible is entirely up to you and your process.
