How to draw Joker

Did you watch the video?Don’t focus so much on brushes. If you cannot paint anything with default round and make it look good, then fancy brushes wont’ help. In fact, it is a lot harder to implement because of its property (textures, effect). Practice with default, once you are there, you can effectively use the brushes.

For tablet setting, I use default setting most of the time. Don’t worry so much about that, very minor stuff. Just make sure your pen is pressure sensitive, that is all there is to it.
Fancy brushes won’t make your art any better than it already is.
You have to FOCUS on the value (light and dark). Once you nailed it, no matter what brushes you use…the piece will be good.
Tips on Brushes is you have to understand edges. 1,000 brushes can only produce 3 kind of edges. Hard, soft and lost… no matter how many brushes there is still only 3 edges. Don’t know if you get it now but if you keep painting for years then you will.
