For me, the most rewarding thing about this blog is receiving artwork from folks who were inspired by my brushes. My hectic schedule prevents me from posting galleries nearly as often as I should, and as such a lot of artwork has gone under appreciated around here. Here is a collection of some of my favorite submissions I have received in recent months. Thanks everyone for sharing, and please keep sending me your illustrations and animations!
Let's kick it off with this beautiful illustration by Alyssa Thomas. So wonderful!
Greg Lytle did the great animation on "The Storytelling Animal" by Jonathan Gottschall
I love this great sketch by Louie Zong
Well that seems to be all Blogger will let me put in one post, so I will continue this in a second post here.
Welcome to Stumpy Pencil, my blog for digital art tools created by myself, for Photoshop and other art software. Feel free to download and use my tools, and in payment please send me Jpeg's or Png's of your artwork to be posted on the blog. Send submissions to Mike@ForanFilms.com. Be sure to include how you would like to be credited.
This blog is somewhat out of date, so the tools here are designed to work best at HD 1080p resolution, which is 1920x1080. Some tools may need to be tweaked to work at significantly higher or lower resolutions. They can easily be converted into Brushes for the newer versions of Photoshop with the updated Brush features.
To maintain compatibility with older versions of Photoshop, I will continue to offer these brushes as "Tools" rather than "Brushes." It is easy to convert them to Brushes in Photoshop CC2018 and later. For versions prior to that, I recommend keeping them as Tools in order to take advantage of all the features. Here's a quick overview of how to install and use Tool Presets in Photoshop. I use Tool Presets instead of Brushes because you can also include presets for tools other than the brush, such as the eraser. You can also include a default color for a Tool Preset, when appropriate. Open the 'Tool Presets' palette from the menu Window. Import the .TPL file by selecting 'Load Tool Preset" from the menu on the 'Tool Presets' palette. Tool Presets may not be visible in the palette unless you have the appropriate tool selected. Choose the brush or eraser to see if your tools imported correctly. Presets will automatically import any Brush shapes needed. Some effects also have Style Presets. You can import the .ASL Style Presets in the same way as Tool Presets, but from the 'Styles' palette. I generally don't offer technical support, so you are on your own here. But feel free to post in the comments if you are having a problem and hopefully someone will help you out.
