Brush Set: Spitshading Toolkit

$ 49.99

A Complete Procreate Toolkit for Traditional Flash Painting

Designed by Matthias Blossfeld (@matthias_blossfeld).

After more than a year of development and testing, Matthias Blossfeld perfected his Spitshading Toolkit for Procreate. These tools include watercolor papers, lining and inking brushes, and watercolor brushes, all used together to create the most realistic traditional painted tattoo flash possible in a digital format.

The foundation of the Spitshading Toolkit starts with the papers. Matthias created Procreate layered files for each of 9 different paper sizes. The extremely high resolution texture backgrounds are based on the cold-pressed watercolor paper preferred by tattooers for decades to paint flash. The precise settings in the digital paper allow the texture to interact with the paint layers the same way physical paper does. Each file clearly indicates which layer you should use to sketch, line, shade, and color the image.

After you sketch your design, use one of the ink brushes in the set to line it. Matthias created these brushes to replicate the size, hardness, and ink flow of traditional ink pens, including fountain and sharp nib pens. The most innovative tools in the set are the watercolor brushes themselves. These brushes, used from the brush tool menu or the smudge tool menu in Procreate, enable you to precisely control the amount of black ink you use, then create the tint gradient iconic to painted tattoo flash. Matthias’ goal was to create a set of tools that would allow you to perfectly adapt the flexibility of digital design to create a traditional watercolor aesthetic.

The best set for authentic looking flash

I don’t even know where to start with this. It’s pretty awesome. I’ve painted flash for close to ten years at this point. Picked up the brush set, messed with it over a day off, and went to work with a print of a “painting”...I had a shop full of tattooers who didn’t even realize it was done digitally. I can’t recommend this enough. Is it perfect? Well, no. Of course not. But it’s damn close. 10/10

Yes

This brush set makes an app that is already extremely user-friendly even better. It’s digital, so it’ll never be a completely perfect crossover from analog watercolor/spit shading, but this is as close as it gets. It only took about 30 minutes of messing around before I felt really comfortable pushing out some decent digital work. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who works in the digital medium wanting to try a new technique or someone wanting to crossover from traditional brush and paper.

BAD ASSERYNESS

I have only had this set for 4 days now. I am so impressed with how easy it is to use! This app is fantastic! It doesn't take away the want to hand paint things still but if you want to get some painting done and don't have space to set up all your painting tools...well ...now you can! Super impressed with how well the app actually mimics spit shading watercolor! Worth every penny! I'm even showing my 2yr old how to use it! She even loves it! THIS IS A MUST BUY !!!

Not all the files are compatible with all the IPad s pro. But is really nice

Disappointed

I’ve loved most of the brushes I’ve gotten from Tattoo Smart, but I have to say this one came in as a big disappointment. Having purchased the original Watercolor set, I feel like this one just adds a little smudge brushes into something I already have. I don’t really feel I’ll benefit from this brush set at allZ. I’ve seen some work done with it that was incredible, and maybe I just don’t understand what each brush is meant for (I do paint traditional flash). Overall I wouldn’t recommend it if you have the other set.
