Here are the brushes I use for my comics. You all have been asking, so here they are. They only work for procreate on the iPad. Volume 1 was done entirely using the Comic HB brush. Chapter 3 was completed using the Ink Bleed Hard brush, while the newest chapters will be done using Ink Bleed Soft brush. (the above image is done using the Hard Ink Bleed brush.)

The page from above is done using the Comic Brush. It has a gritty pencil look, great for pencil shading as if with a conté stick or graphite pencil. It allows for a variety of tones at 100% opacity.

The above image is from chapter 3. This page was done using the Ink Bleed Hard brush. It acts more like a scanned in B5 lead pencil. It allows for great hatching, but requires a more tedious and masterful approach. Slightly more difficult than the Comic HB, but garners great results. Perfect for manga artists.

This image of Zatoichi was done using the Ink Bleed Soft brush, my brush of choice right now. It is the same as Ink Bleed Hard, but stuck at 70% opacity. This allows for a great range of tones through hatching like the Comic HB, but with much finer lines that allow more precision like the Ink Bleed Hard. It acts more like a fine tipped prismacolor wax pencil.
Each brush requires days and weeks of practice to master. I usually find creating a book with one of the brushes lets me explore all of it's possibilities. Just explore and have fun!
