Does this look too digital?

@smceccarelli which are some of your favorite Kyle Brushes?

Thank you for the advice. I'll be sure to check out textures.com
One of the problems I have is that I use Painter, and instead of building paper texture into the brush it applies a paper texture to the whole canvas. This is cool in some ways, but in others it's frustratingly regular.

@chip-valecek Took a screenshot of my "fav" folder
I use these for 99% of my art.

@eric-castleman I thought your “music’ entry was watercolor! How did you achieve that texture digitally? I will be first in line to buy one of your books when you are published—just Love your work.

@eric-castleman This is really excellent advise. Im still working on texture myself.

@bichonbistro Thanks for the nice compliments. I use a lot of texture, and I do not use many tools to paint faster. I treat it like a piece of paper, and limit myself to using basic brushes for painting, and for the details I use the basic pencil. I think the trick is that when I use texture I try my best to be spontaneous. One thing traditional has over digital are the accidents that come with it, such as not being able to control the water flow completely when doing watercolor painting, as well as exactly how each brush stroke will look when painting with oils. So when I drop in texture, I try my best to turn off my brain and just go with it. I start warping the scanned image without much thought, and when something clicks I stop, and I try to make sense of it.
