Hello,

I'm a tattoo artist and i just got a xp pen tablet 15.6.

I downloaded some set on deviant art.

All are really nice but i'm looking for a specific brush.

In the tattoo industry we have a technique to do shadow who is called whip shading, or whipping.

I found some brushes but not for photoshop.

Is there a way to do this in photoshop ? 

Thank you !

    That's exaclty what i want to achieve, but i must do something wrong.

    That's the result i have with your settings.

    And when i said i tried to tweak the settings before i had the exact same results. It's really weird because like you can see, it seems to not work properly.


    What is your »Angle« setting (Edit: the one under »Brush Tip Shape«)?

    The first screenshot you posted is a brush being used over and over starting from the same spot. You used your brush in a line, once. I don't have my tablet right now so my screenshot isn't what you want, but I'm showing you It's the painting technique...

    Try these settings.

    The shape and style of your brush will obviously be different.

    Let us know if you need help creating a dotted brush like what you have pictured.

    Ohh right ! It's working now.

    Perfect, that's what was missing.

    Thank you so much (and everyone who helped me) !
