## What is DotShake Brush Studio?

DotShake Brush Studio is where DotShake's brushes are made.

Start from a brush that already exists, tune it until it feels right, and save it as your own.

A CABINET OF BRUSHES, EACH SHOWING ITS OWN STROKE
Every row draws a real stroke, so you never have to open a brush to find out what it looks like. The categories are on the row too: Line, Dab, Airbrush, Oil Paint, Palette Knife, Liquid, Optical Glass, Liquid Metal, Halftone, Particles, Noise, Volumetric, Dynamic Field — and a whole family of type that runs along the stroke.

NOT JUST LINES
Pencil, charcoal, marker, calligraphy, impasto, gouache and fan brush for the traditional hand. Then glass, liquid chrome, meteor and flame — and butterflies, moths, clouds and maple leaves that chase the stroke.

TYPE THAT FOLLOWS THE STROKE
Kinetic type, pop type, glass type, falling poems, and leader brushes that trail a small shape behind them.

EVERY BRUSH IS EDITABLE
• Size and opacity, with the preview updating as you go
• Customise the pressure curve so the tip answers to your hand
• Enough parameters that there is a search field for them
• Preview in light or dark, and reset in one tap
• Save as a copy — the original stays as it was

IMPORT AND EXPORT
Export the brushes you make, and import the ones other people made.

Requires DotShake.
