Hi. While beta-testing Krita 3.0, I decided to do a big cleaning in my brush-presets. I wanted to have something looking good when I was painting, especially while using the new presentation of Krita 3.0 for the right click pop-up on canvas. That's how I started this new version of my brushkit for Krita, the version 8. As usual with all my brushkit (I maintain them since 2009), I decided to distribute them for free, for anyone. I also took time to write here a full description of every 42 brushes you'll get in the pack. All this big work couldn't be possible without the support of my patrons. This brushkit is a free bonus on the way of more episodes for my webcomic Pepper&Carrot. A big big thanks to them!
Update 16 august 2016 :
Version 8.1, I added 13 brushes, they are labeled [New] here.
