Ah this definitely helps me a lot.. I've been kind of unmotivated to do digital paintings because they always turn out bad but now I want to try again! Thanks :D

But the default brushes are crap. The best are the ones that profesionals use, like Shaddy Safadi's brushes.

Most brushes are just slight edits on the default brushes, like the spacing. The general shapes are fine, then you can tweak the brush engine to make the brush more to your needs.

Very eye-opening! 11 is one of my BIGGEST problems (at least it feels like it to me XD; ) Though I know it's not the only XD; I fall into so many it's not funny. still, these are great pointers to begin practicing on in my next few paintings. Thank you very much for the tips!

This is a great tutorial. I am just getting more into painting my pictures and wanting to try using some electronic painting programs (such as on an iPad or computer) but I don't understand the tools well enough. This really gave me an idea on how to work with the tools more effectively.
